I am building a new sub box and wanted to ask a question

Matt H Bronze Member Username: Whatmh5 Post Number: 75 Registered: Dec-09	Posted on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 01:10 GMT So, I am building a new sub box. I am doing 34W, 17H, and I am debating between 16 & 18 inches deep. Which would be better, 16 or 18 inches deep? I have an incriminator audio LI 15 off around 800 watts. Final tuning WILL be 32~ hz. Thanks for the help! Quick response would be great, I plan on starting tomorrow.

Dustin Silver Member Username: Cenus Post Number: 320 Registered: Aug-08	Posted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 22:45 GMT depends on the sub but 3.5-4.5cf is the norm. my atlas 15 was in a 3.3cf box before port an sub displacement and it was perfect but my shocker sig i have now would need a 4.5-5cf box minimum for a 15. all depends on the sub.

The bigger the better. that's the way the cookie crumbles that's the way the ball bounces build it nice or build it twice that is all
