Guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 What sort of size box? ive no clue how to build them or anything, ive seen this : My link Was wondering if its any good? in my opinion, just design your own box and build it. 99% of the time it will make the woofer perform better than a pre-fab box (that 1% is if you totally fuck up the design) if you go on RF's site and find the manual, it will tell you everything you need to know about your woofer, including recommended box specs.

norcal colby Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 does anyone agree with me that sealed enclosures have a broader frequency accuracy? with ported enclosures i have noticed a significant drop of quality from ported enlclosures outside of the ports tuning frequency. i dont know what your preferences are, but i like sealed enclosures because I feel like the subwoofer is in a more natural state with more air pressure fighting the excursion so that the internals dont wear down as easily.. just my 2cents. not trying to state facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanginOnABudget Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 It depends. what kind of music do you listen to most often? if you listen to ANY rock whatsoever you want a sealed enclosure, or a tline. Quote im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire. Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block.... 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr. Big-3 in 0g on Stock Alt. Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos. Pioneer 6000ub Reciever NO amps at the moment. SA-15 on 1kw coming soon. MSG Me for a free enclosure design!! Flared port kits coming soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
