Box for XXX

[Wkerat 10+ year member]

Will 12 XXX"s work in sealed boxes? The spec on their site says they will but I heard they sound really bad in sealed boxes under 2 ft and I only have room fro sealed boxes of 1.5 cubes each for 2 subs? Will this work or no?

Will XXX's work in sealed boxes? Of course. They will have very good Sound Quality and still get really loud.

If all you have is 1.5 cubes/driver, build your box as big as possible. I have heard them in a 1.7 cu.ft sealed enclosure and they sounded fine to me.

Another option, if you hear otherwise that the box wont be sufficient, its to switch divers which need less airspace to operate in.
