Ok. Another question from the new guy...

Recommended Posts

I got my fiberglass box done sorta. It is done to the point that I can get an internal volume. I packed about 15 gallons of packing peanuts in there. That gives me roughly 2 cubic feet. I know peanuts are not the most accurate, but that seemed like the easiest way. So anywho, I have about 1200w to throw at a Magnum that I am gonna get. Should I go ahead and put something in there to take up some space or let it ride and see how it goes? Then make it smaller if need be? Do you trust the peanut method? I don't want to buy a bunch of sand and then have to vacuum it out. What do you guys think? Thanks - Jim

2 cubes isn't necessary for a 12", but it will certainly do. I say just leave it where it is, it'll perform just fine. As far as sealed enclosures go, there is no such thing as too big. :D

Well, it didn't start out as 2 cu ft. I just estimated what I thought it would be from the shape that I wanted, thinking around 1.5 to 1.7, and 2 is what I got. So if I am careful with the gains the sub should be ok in that size of enclosure with 1200 watts? Beautiful. Next question, anyone want to come to a sanding party?
