10" diamond d6

[yerlee4 10+ year member]

looking at building a ported box and just wanted advice from members who have similar setups. looking at a single 10" diamond d6. diamond recommends 1.25 cu.ft but i was wondering if i should bump it up a little to maybe 1.5cu.ft or maybe something in between?

The difference will be minimal. The box will be slightly more efficient when larger, so a little bigger peak about 5hz above tuning. But you also sacrifice mechanical power handling, so you're not able to put as much power to it...it's all a trade-off when adjusting box size and tuning.

Depends on how tall the port is, assuming you're talking about a slot port and not a circular port.

yes. i'll be going with the 1.25cuft box from the free box plan section. will the 2" port width at 12" height be enough? would you suggest me using a different box plan?

That's plenty of port area, no need for any more.
