Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1323 Registered: Feb-05 | Nope... Josh what you wanna do is (1.8 -- 2.50 cu.ft. vented @ 28Hz) that will have you covered. I whould recommend throwing 600 - 1000 watts rms to it. Honestly even 600 watts will sound amazing with it. You wont be able to tell much. The SQ will be very nice and you will get alot of low end also. YOu will be very happy.. just wait and see. by the way you can confirm with Jonathan since he also owns one. If you can build the box then i whould go to www.woodlawncabinetry.com and have phil build you one. |

Bronze Member Username: Matt12490Post Number: 40 Registered: May-05 | how do you change the frequency of the box? |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bNc Usa Post Number: 361 Registered: Jan-05 | by lengthening or shortening the port. Lengthening will lower the boxes tuning. Shortening will raise it. The ratio between the surface area and the depth of the port is what determines the frequency at which the port is tuned. |
