How does this box look for a 06S10L7?

[FurbiesAndBeans]

2.278 cu. ft tuned at 32 hz with 33.75 sq in of port area?

Should i make the box a little smaller? Change the port area?

[hatemonger]

not bad. i would do a little higher tuning on the port for a kicker sub. maybe 35-38. but no sub sounds bad tuned to 32hz. you might get a little more output with a 38hz tuning.

Im not looking for straight spl, looking for more low end

[btdickey99]

is that net of or gross?

box seems a lil big for a 10

[FurbiesAndBeans]

That's net, and i was surprised too, but it seems the kicker L7 likes a big box. i took the specs from the kicker website

[mobeious]

how much power

[FurbiesAndBeans]

how much power

Directed 1100D @ 2 ohms. So i have around 800 watts at my disposal

from my experience they like smaller enclosures........... id go 1.25-1.5 after displacment tuned to 36-38 , i ran my at .7 after displacment

You have 1 or 2 L7's?

[NWI_#73]

I have this one for sale if you have 2 10's

[Lakota]

Yeah, I'd recommend tuning a tad higher unless you want to play nothing but low notes.

[FurbiesAndBeans]

One L7, what about 34 hz? Im not looking for just SPL

[hatemonger]

anyone who says they like smaller boxes, hasn't heard them in a bigger box. they do very well in a bigger box. it's one of kickers disadvantages IMO. big box subs. put that 10 in about 2.25 cubes tuned to 34-38hz, and you'll like it.

Kicker has specs for a street bass box for my 2004 model of the sub. The box is 1.75cf. They also list a 1.25 and 2.25. For the 2006 they only show the 1.25 and 2.25 in their manual. I'm sure you can use the 1.75cf box for the 2006 also.
I built the 1.75 box and it was good. The 2.25 is listed as a deep bass/SPL box.
Not sure how music would sound with that big of a box.

music sounds good in 2.25. it's only an spl box if you tune the port high, but 2.25 cubes tuned to 35hz or so sounds nice. i did L5 10's awhile back in 1.75 cubes and it did sound good, but if you have the space, i would recommend 2.25. i'm more of a heavy metal/rock guy, so i'd probably drop volume down to 1.75-2.0 to maybe improve accuracy a little.
