Box Tuning

[J2phat4u 9]

Fella's, I am running 2 BL 12's in a ported 4.23 cubic ft enclosure tuned at 33hz. Is this enclosure large enough for the BL subs? The enclosure is 1" thick all sides, braced inside 1" thick and has a 2" front baffle so i know its strong enough.

They recommend 1.8 to 2.5 per sub so I wouid say your ok.

Im assuming thats net volume after all displacements?

[J2phat4u 9]

Yes its net after everything. When i ordered the subs this site said tune to 33hz now it says 32??....

That really doesn't matter.

Well i am glad to hear that. I know one thing for sure they are loud as hell..!!! I just dont want to overdrive them. They get warm when i wang on them a little. That may happen because i need to get a bigger alt to help supply power to them.

So the 4.23 net volume and 33hz tuning is allowing me to get the most out of these subs?

Those specs are perfect. It is also normal for them to get warm.

The better your electrical, the more power you will have on tap and the warmer your subs will get....
