New Box Help

[DCarter 0]

hey guys, i currently got a Fi 15" BL with an aq1200d, in a 3.3 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz, it is a crappy box made out of 0.50 mdf because i just wanted the system in lol. I know this sub can get much much louder. How does a box just under 4 cubes (3.78) tuned to 35hz sound to you guys ?

also with gains down could this sub eventually maintain an aq2200d ? I would have gains set so its pushing about 1500rms

thnx guys !!

The new box should be a little louder.

Any speaker can handle any amplifier with the correct gain setting. You already answered your own question by saying if you set it to output 1500 watts. What would be the difference between that and an amp rated at 1500 watts?

it should get a bit louder, i was just making sure it could handle 1500 or a bit more rms it seems like it wants more !

You'll just have to be a bit more careful with the power on the new box, and especially with a subsonic filter. Tuning higher means more frequencies below the unloading point of the box.

yeah i understand the power, i dont blast it much and i understand it lowers the power handling. Its a loaded BL and only a aq1200d on it for the time being. In regards to the subsonic filter, im going to have it on 30hz to be safe, i know perfect is 2-3 under the hz of the box but i wanna be extra careful since its my baby lol

im also gonna try it facing inwards aswell as the port, the port size is much larger than my current box so im hoping for lots of air !
