New box idea's (12" SSA Xcon's)

[coobies5 43]

I'm thinking about trying out a new enclosure for the Xcon's. Current box is 7+ cubes

I'm thinking about going sealed and having them firing up. However, I don't think I'm going to like them sealed.

If I do a new box and it's sealed, I'd like to keep within these dimensions 48" w x 16" d x 12" h

And if I do another ported enclosure, I'd cut the width down and just build a taller enclosure and tune it to 30-33hz.

Let me know what yall think and what suggestions yall may have. Thanks!

Do you really think you will be okay with loosing output? I would probably be disappointed but that's just me. The XCONs work great sealed but going from ported to sealed might hurt.

This is what I'm afraid of.....I'm sure I'd be okay with sealed, but I know after a few weeks I'd turn it up loud and be like "what happened!?!"

Maybe I'll just make a smaller ported enclosure and try that out. I just want more space so I can put my tools and my second battery in there. Along with subs and port firing up.

That's what I would do.

Maybe seal the box you have and add blocks to reduce the volume just to see if you like it.

This would be the absolute best route to go. Verify for certain whether or not going sealed may or may not work for you, then decide.

I'll seal off my box I have now and see how that is, then I'll decide from there. I already have a feeling I'll be building another small ported box.

Ok, for the smaller ported enclosure, I can do 30" w x 30" h x 16" d which according to re box calculator is right under 7 cubes not including port or sub displacement.

That seems like more than enough room to do a new setup!

Now I'm highly contemplating subs up with side firing port, but I've already had that setup with the 18" so I might just stick to subs/port up.

[coobies5 43]

Well, after messing around with re box calculator and common sense, I have to have a box width of 30" just so I can have the 2 subs fit. Here is what I've come up with....

30 x 30 x 16

30 x 28 x 16

Might end up doing side firing port since I'm having trouble trying to do sub/port up
