gamejunky16 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey everyone. I just purchased a level 4 10". I was wondering if it is ok to run this in a sealed box? If so, is the size recommended by DC good, or should it be bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yes, its fine to run sealed. In order to recommend box size, we need to know how much power you'll be feeding the sub.

ChevyBoy95 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Watts rms going to subwoofer? Lower than recommended watts usually means a bigger box, higher than recommended watts usually means smaller box.

If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamejunky16 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I plan to run 1000 watts rms. The sub has level 5 soft parts, so i know it can handle more, but i want to be able to expand a bit in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamejunky16 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well its a trunk build and I dont plan on running with my seats down. Is it still ok to do ported? I just dont want it to be where my trunk is the only thing thats loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notorious97200 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Go ported. The box will be in the trunk, ported or sealed, so if you want it loud go ported ! No matter if your seats are down or not ! Quote black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

gamejunky16 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Ok so going ported with the same power i said, should I use the recommended box size on their site, or do you guys think I should do something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamejunky16 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 So I talked to Rusty and he recommended that I use a 1 ft^3 box with a 4" aero port tuned to 35 Hz. I was messing around with e box calculator, and I will have to have the port length be about 29 in. to get 35 Hz. Will I have to have part of the tubing sticking outside of the box, or is there a way to fit it inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
