bigger = better ??

[mwjames]

so i'm currently using 2 12inch sony xplod's (hold the laughs please) that handle 350rms a piece, i have them in a box that's only giving them about 1cubic foot each. If i were to double the size of the box would that give more bump?? I'm looking for your opinions and or theorys about it.

I also have a 10 inch alpine type x but it needs repair and 2 12inch audiobahns but i don't feel like running them at the moment.

Look at the specs for your subs, but for me , in most cases, I find that around 1.6-2.4 cu ft ported per 10-12in sub meets my satisfactory.Believe it or not/bash as you may..those Audiobahns will more than likely out perform those Sony subs all day long..IMO

At your current dimensions, yes, doubling the box size would net you decent gains.

My advice is to sell everything and start from scratch...

First question that should be asked, is the box you have them in sealed or ported?

 

[mwjames]

it's a sealed box for the sony's. I know the audiobahn's would outperform the sony's but they're rated at 1,000 rms a piece so i'm waiting to to gather a little bit of money so i can build or buy a decent single box. Or to get my alpine fixed

doesn't matter if they're 1000rms, all that means is they'll be underpowered on your current amp, so like having it on lower volume. I would definitely port them. I used to have in a 1cf sealed box, now it's in a 2.3cf ported box and god **** what a difference that made.

Send that alpine to psi and have it turned into a 12 or 15... Sell all the other stuff u have and buy "good" quality amp... You'll be set then!!

Thats the route i would go...

Dear Mwjames,

For 12 inch speakers , if you want best thumps, then the acoustic volume of the enclosure must be of 44 liters as that of in JBL 1215T bass tube model. You will be astonished by the results.
