BTL box size... too small?

[Joey2714 10+ year member]

I have two 15" BTLs and theyre recomendded 3-5 cubic feet each. These are fully loaded and i have a T20001bd for each. I was going to run this with a 10 cubic foot box tuned at 32hz. But I would love the space so... what kind of output will i lose if i went with just a 6 or 7 foot box? Do I have too little power to run a box that small and still get alot out of my subs? What kind of SPL would be lost in the smaller box? Thanks!

they still work good in a smaller box, i would say do 3.5 per sub tuned to 33-34hz

t2000 per sub is still plenty of power, they dont need 3kw+ nor does any other beefy sub daily

ok thanks.. i know i cant guess what numbers i would hit without building and testing.. but what kind of numbers would i be losing dropping from 5 ft each to 3.5 each?

Probably none

you might actually gain by going with a smaller box like that, just depends
