Gatorcity Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hey guys, Just need an answer real quick. I know the recommended enclose for a ported box is 3 cu. ft. My question is will the sub be ok in 2.75 cu. ft.? The sub will be seeing around 850-900 watts. I used torres calculator and got diminsions for the 3 cu. ft box. Box is being built tomorrow, so if 2.75 cu. ft will work I can use the torres calculator to figure out the new diminsions. Thanks Brad Quote comic on tv: I got a concussion from playing t-ball when i was younger, we dont really have time to go into that! . . . . 15 seconds pass . . . . . my girl: no one pitches to you in t-ball, do they???

hdorre Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'd use 3. But yes, 2.75 will work.

hdorre Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I believe n8 also uses 16 sqin on his 12" lvl 3s. If not 16 sqin, its 18sqin Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
