Noob with lots of box questions!

[culp7]

Allright, so i was planning on finally buying my first system (2 12"s), and i have some box questions for ya'll:

I'm eigther gonna run Kenwood KFC-W3012, or Alpine Type R 12's

When i'm building my box what would you guys recomend i tune it too?

and....How many cubes ya'll think would be good for this build?

Thanks!

if useing those crappy subs.. 3 cubes. tuned around 30 to 34 hz.

if you decide to spend the same amount of money and get something better, 4 cubes, tuned 34 to 36 hz.

[Chris661]

32-35hz

around 5cubic feet. should be good. but dont quote me.

If you decide to run the R's, 4 cubes tuned to 33-5 will be amazing.

Mine are tuned to 28 but that's because I like stupidly low lows =P

yeah, i'll def. run the r's or mabey some sort of kicker l7 the kenwoods would be just a temp thing, while i save some cash lol

I'd do between 3.5 and 4 cubes and tune to about 33hz

[eclipsezm007]

id say 4-6 cubes and depending on the type of music u listen to alot for example hip hop and rap go 33-35hz and maybe a little higher for any thing else other than rap hip hop and RnB

R's over Kenwoods all day.

[culp7]

yeah, i listen to rap, and the bigger the cubes the bigger the???

And the smaller the cubes the smaller the.???

lol sorry i'm a noob and still learning the basics

[culp7]

and what should i build my box out of? (particle board, plywood, ect.)
