Can I please break a 147?

Dc subs, lots of power and low tuning = dead soft parts. You are going to have to sacrifice the lows on that power in a big box with those subs. Nice motors and cooling but, the soft parts will go down the drain...

It gets pretty **** low now and I don't have a big box.

Did anybody see the small box with level 3s that gets loud? But level 3s **** and big boxes are better?

Tuning is low so ofc it gets low but, if you wanted more output and to be able to play even lower a bigger box would be needed. What do you really want though, to rip the lows or to hit the numbers?

They don't break in spec boxes. Which is 1.5 cubes. That's why I ran DC from the beginning. I've never had a ton of space to give up. Getting the same thing in 3 cubes as 5 is a win.

Nought for nothing, but if you were getting results in the small box we wouldn't be having this thread.

For where its tuned the output is good. Im just trying to find that line, numbers/daily. I dont want to put up a good number and not move a lick of air. I dont want to play 25hz strong and only meter a 45. It would be great is I could do changable ports but I cant. My car peaks to high to put up a good number tuning low, I learnt that lesson. There has to be a more efficent way to get the best of both.

reverse mount the subs on that octo box? would that not solve the issue of the motors hitting? if the motors hits the windows move them towards the front more.. problem solved...

They will hit. They seem to want to be far back as they can get. Jaydubb and myself have figured something out. 6.75 inch octo will work, I can get the tuning to 36hz will a bit over 11sq per cube.

I make plenty. But got a daughter on the way and the wife is being a tight wad.

I want the best mix of both. Not move a ton of air like it does now and not sound like a wet fart with no force behind the hits.

so does that mean when i sacrificed airspace for port area on my 12s i got quieter? lol

Just throwing out the idea of stepping down to 10's if you want to stay with a small box. 147's should be pretty easy on a pair of decent 10's with half the power you have. There is a very different philosophy behind daily builds that meter good and spl builds that meter very good.

I can get more room. Up to 11 cubes. I just don't have the width to make 15s work. Everybody that knows DC subs knows to not go to much over specs. They can get just as loud as a big box sub without the big box. That's proven. I just have to find the efficient port and tuning that will give my ears what they are looking for and do a respectable number. I like what I hear now, it's nasty in the 30hz range. I know I'm going to lose some of that but I don't want to lose much of it. The 35hz box was fine, if the subs fired up on that one and it didn't flex like crazy it might of been ok.

4th, 6th order or a horn can get you the best of both worlds. You can still achieve the lows and push some air while hitting good numbers. The box size though is going to be the main issue.
