Silver Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 467 Registered: Aug-04 | There is nothing between the two box types excpect that the maze type is there because the port needs to be longer than if the port just went along the side and back wall. If you made the port area smaller you could get away with a shorter port so that you do what you are talking about. |

Bronze Member Username: Jdog123Vestavia Hills, Al United States Post Number: 55 Registered: Jun-06 | ok i built it and got it in and it sounds amazing. yea i am lacking the sound quality i had before, but still great and it is so much louder. ill post some pics of it as soon as i can. o yea question. im pushing 960 watts rms or at least thats what the amp is rated to it. i have the bass boost off and the gain low on it now, but how high could i turn it up before i risk blowing the sub. i dont want to go too far and blow it. thanks. |
