Box Dimensions for American Bass XFL?!

[DJSlowfets]

Received my AB XFL today it's a 1000 watt rms sub. And I'll be running it at just that, @ 1 ohm powered by a Kenwood KAC-9106D. I know there's a lot of variables ( headunit, source as in Bluetooth, flash drive, aux in.) Ultimately it's going in a 4 door sedan either my 2002 ford Taurus or a 2000 Buick Century with a single din pioneer head unit and for sure aux in all music I play is 256 kbps minimal. So with all that covered , what do you guys think on box volume tuning and port area. ? I love decaf and I love that lowwww bass but I also do listen to regular rap (Kevin Gates , Juicy J, Hopsin) and some radio songs that obviously vary in hz. So I want something well rounded and balanced so no matter what I'm playing I'm maximizing the use of my sub. I want panel flex I wanna be heard. So a good mix between Sq and SPL but more on the SPL side //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif any suggestions are greatly appreciated !

2.5 cubes tuned to 33hz with around 14in of port per cube

Actually 2.2^3 at 33 hertz is very good

that XFL will laugh at that 9106D

Amp does around 1k at 1 ohm. Might aswell gain SOME efficiency with a bigger box

If you want it balanced a little, go with mylows suggestion. If you want it low end heavy, the 2.5 cubic feet will help bring that out.

How do you guys know box size? I don't see where he listed the size of his sub. Unless xfl only comes in one size?

I forgot to mention it's a 15. I was always under the impression at least 3 cu ft for a 15 ?

on 1k, I'd give it atleast 4 cubes

15 needs 4.5-5.5 cubes at 33 hertz
