Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5763 Registered: Feb-06 | if i remember correctly when i talked to ed about the same thing, they recommended 5cuft. after displacements. |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1770 Registered: Nov-06 | Yeah, try and give each sub at least 2.5 cubic feet. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5765 Registered: Feb-06 | doing a quick search on ca.com i saw other users say 6cuft. for a pair seems to work nicely. |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1772 Registered: Nov-06 | Yeah, mine is in ~2 cubic feet in my room, sealed, and it sounds like it wants a bigger box. I had it in 4 cubes in my car, and that was a bit big. |

New member Username: SchmuckPost Number: 5 Registered: Nov-07 | how would 2.25 after displacements do? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5769 Registered: Feb-06 | for the pair? i'd go bigger, not a small box sub. |
|
New member Username: SchmuckPost Number: 6 Registered: Nov-07 | no 2.25 per sub 4.5 net for the pair. |

New member Username: SchmuckPost Number: 7 Registered: Nov-07 | Has anyone had any good experiences with a pair of these subs in a 4 cube ported box? |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1805 Registered: Nov-06 | I had one of them in 4 cubes. It owned the lows. Got my rearview shaking more than the MAWs do, and they are exponentially louder. Wasn't very tight sounding, but this sealed box has corrected that. If I was you, I'd get Pete Kulicki to design you a box for one of them. Put the other in your room or something. I'm considering doing this, just to illustrate the effects of a well-designed box. Someone on here had one do 131dB on 75W, just for reference. Give it 200W and a good enclosure, and you'll be surprised. What else have you heard/owned? |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1808 Registered: Nov-06 | Ah. Hmm. A little polyfill might get you enough "space". A pair of MAW 12s could fit. I dunno. It's up to you. Just make sure it's an upgrade. http://www.mach5audio.com/product_info.php?cPath=48&products_id=41&osCsid=a46a9a 2e6c54d15d937171c76d02db5d Those will more than satisfy her. Girls have told me to turn mine down because it hurts their ears. |
