that is pretty big for those subs, especially when they recommend about half that per sub. IMO, you should tune lower to 29-30 Hz.

you shoulda seen the 6 cube box tuned to 22hz for 4 15's I was building before my van was vandalized

that looks bad *** but it's to big, any ways can you make me a box? i have 4 thunder 8000's too but 12's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

why tune lower?

they're already gonna be really loud as it is, tuning lower would get you some extra sq. and i wouldnt say it was too big, but someone correct me if i'm worng, but i think they maybe less accurate in a box that big.

ya i think i may have heard that to, less acurate. but i wanted a big box becuase thier only reciving 300 of thier 400 rates rms. and sence thier 10's i dont see how they wont still be punchy and acurate..

and what about the angles? is that going to cause any cancelation or any problems? also the subs dont have much breathing room, only cpl inches between them and trunk. kinda worried about rattles, and shit.

hopefully its better then the box i did build earlier, had it almost complete then decided to go with a diff design. but this is the one i had built

i did make it a lil bigger then that to, it was around 5 cubes tuneed to 36hz, u think my new one is better?

smaller diameter doesn't necessarily mean better sq. and what was wrong with the design you had earlier? and could you possibly use the design you had first and mount them on the front instead?

nope, reason i changed it was becuase i heard from many people that back firing is Alot better then up firing, and thier was no way i could fit 4 on the side like that, thats why i angled them.

[SPLguy420 10+ year member]

should i have seperated the box? or should i have gone with 1 port up middle??

 

[SPLguy420 10+ year member]

and i have tons of plexiglass, and i think i heard that putting it in ur box makes it sound different? and louder... and it would be good support... is this true?
