ok, thanx. that's what i needed to know is whether it needed to be secure or not. thanks again. right... thanx trigger, that makes sense, don't screw it in if it's not going to work. sorry i'm alil out of it this morning... thanks again

ok, ok, i get it you take the demensions and divide by a cubic foot... sorry i didn't recognize the number instantly... anyway, thanks for your help guys i'll try some wood and get back to ya...

ok, well, when i get some 12's i'll be sure to do it the right way... but right now, i'm just going to get this to work. i'll see what i can get and then go from there. could i use like 2 sided tape or 3m velcro to hold it down or should i go ahead and screw it down?

is plywood bad? i mean i know it's not the best but surely it's not the problem... and if it is, could i just add something that will absorb the sound better on the walls?

thanx. that's cool, is that like a 'golden rule' or how did that formula come about?

I know, I know, i'm such a failure... i used silicone on the inside and spaced my screws about 3 inches from each other... does that count for a good thing? anyway, i'm not sure exactly how screwing a peice of wood into a box with only a 9 and 5/8 hole as an entrance is going to be quick...

I think that when i ran it at full pass it allowed the power to not be focused on the lower frequencies which made the hits softer cause some of the power was being used to put out the higher frequencies, so it could be just bottoming out. and i can't quite remember exactly what the recommended...

So what you suggest that's good for the money? JL, Audiobahn, Pioneer? what's wrong with Kenwood? the reviews i read on the speaker where pretty good, and i know that the way a speaker sounds depends alot on the box it's in. You can take a crappy sub and make it sound pretty decent if the box is...

I'm unfamilure with "DMM" but i never turned the gain very high cause i didn't want to damage the speaker. also what damage could the full pass do?

I know what you're talking about and it's not, that's like when the cone is moving constantly to produce the *note* or *tone*. mine is flawless on these. the problem is with the punches of a bass drum. it goes fine and then when the bass hits it's a "whomp" sound and on fast hits like 16ths it...

that's what my friend said... if it was bottoming out, then a brick or a block of wood should fix the problem right? cause if the box is too small you add polyfill to make the box 'appear' bigger to the sub.and if it's too big you add things to take up space. another friend suggested wireing...

Yes i know, but an 18" would be too bassy for what i listen to. Sure i could turn it down, but then what's the point in getting a sub so large if i'm not going to push SPL? i just wanted to accent the bass a little bit. without spending a lot... It does sound like tapping the cone with my...

ok, i just finished hooking up my sub. It's a Kenwood Typhoon 10" 700W (max) and the amp is a bridged (600W max) pyramid. i built a box that is just over 1 cuft (between 1.1 and 1.2). on suspended bass notes, it's flawless. but on the bass drum hits, it's wierd. It makes a sort of "whoop" sound...
