[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8870369, member: 678073"] The W6 isn’t bad sealed. I think it has an F3 at around 42 to 43 HZ in a sealed box. That’s according to JL in their recommended sealed box. I haven’t personally ran TS specs on the newer W6. Making it larger might help a little, but it won’t make a drastic change. The W6 is a great candidate for a 4th order bandpass. It would perform very well if the box design and build are on point. That might get expensive if you don’t build your own enclosures however. I do not like JLs recommendations for a ported box on this sub. .75 cubes tuned to 39 HZ like they suggest would be loud but lack a lot of low end. Most of the guys who listen to modern rap are going to play way below port tuning in that box with no subsonic filter and wonder why they ripped the foam surround on their sub. I would suggest a much lower tuning, unless you strictly listen to country, classic rock or metal. 1 cube per sub tuned to 30-34 HZ is what I would do with the 10w6. Also, use a subsonic filter at around 5-7 HZ below port tuning. So if your box is tuned to 32, set a SSF at 25-27 HZ. This will help keep your sub from ripping and the SQ is better if your sub isn’t trying to play frequencies that it can’t handle very well. [/QUOTE]
