[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8555657, member: 650438"] actually it sort of strangled. needs more airspace IMO . 20 cubes net rear chamber 40 cubes net front chamber its a 6th order taking up the whole minivan. A bigger ratio could have been better to be honest but I think i got enough power to make it work. 4 team ascendant 18s on 30k B pillar 6th order. A bit on a small side however I should be seeing close to the sub's RMS rating clamped so it doesn't have to be giant however its hard to squeeze anymore out of it. good thing is that i can use my front chamber to store snowboards, fishing rods, groceries or 4 crazy dudes along with having my rear hatch cargo area as well for stuff. I also have a rear AC unit that i will vent straight to the amps to keep them ice cold. I'd rather have proper output on the midbass region and eq down rather than having to bump up the EQ. It sounds more natural to me. I tried bumping it up back then, it went loud but not the same clarity and loudness as a natural high output midbass should. Literally bumping a smaller driver up EQ wise will cause wierd peaks here and there but makes some decent output however the bigger driver without any EQ can literally push your pants flying and make you lose breath. The amount of midbass i prefer is ungodly compared to normal SQ/SPL people's preferences. Sad to say i'm a sound masochist I want everything to feel like its destroying my internal organs. Just imagine a rave and you are right next to the PA speakers playing snares and kick drums, thats what i want replicated in my car but with a lot better and smoother response and proper imaging/sound stage. I'd literally try to do 12s if i had the room. [/QUOTE]
