A&W ROOTBEER Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 hey guys im looking at a sealed box and the specs on the sub are 2-2.6 cu ft..i only have 1 shot at this since im having someone build the box for me and i dont have money to try a few different boxes..so my questions is this, if i go near the lower 2.0 cu ft the sub will be deeper,lower but the output will be lower, and if i go towards the 2.4-2.6 the sub will have more output but wont be as low?

IH8PunkRok Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 other way around a larger box usually plays lower than a smaller one however with larger boxes comes more of a chance of over excursion, so less power is recommended.

bigredishott Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 I would go with the bigger box if its ported smaller for a sealed box Quote Alpine CDA-9847 HU F Highs 2x Infinity Kappa 60.9CS Powered by Eclipse EA4200 Glass door panels R Highs Infinity Ref. 9622i powered by HU 3x RF Punch HX2 RFD2210 Powered by MTX Thunder 81000D Box Vol. 3.259 before displacement, Tuned 36.6, Port area 54"

Lowroll Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 In my truck I had a 3.9 cube box and it peaked @ 41 Hz. Now I'm down to 2.65 cubes & peaking at 38. I'm not sure why though because like punkrock said it should have peaked higher.
