I'm thinking of making my own box, what is the best dimensions for a single 15" subwoofer box?

Um... well, the polyfill also keeps the sub from bottoming out because it adds extra resistance. I'm not sure if it will make a difference or not at 30 Hz. It could sound bad for a couple of reasons, 1. being that the sub just doesn't work well at that low of frequencies or 2. If the enclosure...

ok, well, i did have a box for it, but the box was crap and it rattled. Therefore, I took the sub out of that box and tested it without one. That is when i noticed the cracking and popping noises from it. The sub shouldn't be blown, and im about 99.9% sure that it isn't. I was only putting about...

Yeah, every book i've ever read has said to use polyfill. It actually makes it seem like the subwoofer is in a bigger enclosure than what it is actually in. Also, Infinity, I'm pretty sure that you are right, 1 lb per cubic foot, should do fine.

I'll try to connect it better, and I'm pretty sure it's not bottoming out, cause it isn't moving all that much. I think that in a box it would be better though. Well anyway, it seems that I have a few things i can try out. Thanks

Currently, I actually don't have it in an enclosure at all. Is it still the former hitting the backplate?

I tried the equalizer, and it did help somewhat. Though, the subwoofer did pop still at high volumes.

I don't currently have it in an enclosure because i wanted to make sure the enclosure wasn't the problem. Also, I have tried to just send it low frequencies but some high frequencies are getting through. If you really believe that is the problem, how can I just give it low frequencies? Also, I...

I only have one MTX Thunder6000 15" 8 Ohm subwoofer and I tried hooking it up to my home stereo but when i give the subwoofer more power it tends to make a cracking, popping noise. One person told me that it was that the subwoofer was getting too much raw current, is there any way to remedy...

Oh, also, keep in mind that the sub is completely new, it hasn't been used very much at all and the sub is supposed to be for a car applications, but i figured since the sub was 8 ohms it would be fine on my home system, then again, it has been popping so I dont know.

I only have one of these speakers, and I tried hooking it up to my home stereo but when i give the subwoofer more power it tends to make a cracking, popping noise. One person told me that it was that the subwoofer was getting too much raw current, is there any way to remedy this?

If you have 2, 4 Ohms speakers and you wire them parallel, then you wire that parallel with an 8 Ohms speaker, how many Ohms would the speakers require? If this is possible at all.

So how do you know if they are bridgeable or not? Would the amp specs tell you?

What do you mean by strappable? I never heard that term used in electronics.

Is there anyway to hook up an 8 Ohm sub to two different amps at one time?
