I designed a box that is 10cuft@32hz its in a 2000 GMC Jimmy. Is that too much cuft?

How much power will you be sending to it?

[KU40 173]

It'll lower the power handling, but other than that it's just up to you if you like the way it sounds.

I wouldnt say so if you lower the amount of power going to it.

I have been waiting to see what a Q18 sounds like in that max spec box at 32hz. I really want to see 2 Q15s in a 8cuft box after displacement.

Pics?

There will be a sundown saz1500d on it, with 2 yellow tops. I changed it i decided to go with a little smaller. More like 7cuft@30hz

As for pic, I'll be posting a build log up wen i get started later today.

Im running around 8 cuft with similar power and haven't ran into any problems.

I had it in about 6 cubes before. I just started cutting the box, I'm almost done cutting now. I decided to go with abouts 8.5 cubes@30Hz.

What options on the sub? Doesnt change things thermally in a larger enclosure, normally just mechanically in that there is a larger air spring behind it and it cant handle quite as much.

Thanks,

I just have cooling......... I almost have the box done now. Its about 7 cubes after all displacement. Sub on top Port on front, with 1" thick plexiglass window.

It is pretty dumb to build a box smaller to increase mechanical handling. It won't yield any more SPL if both alignments are correct, and just lowers efficiency and increases distortion....

I didn't build it smaller for handling, but because I didn't think I had enough wood.
