[QUOTE="Scarenius, post: 602995, member: 555987"] Well, I say 40 hertz, because I've tried to port a box for my current subs before, and the results were disastrous. I only had about 1/2 the enclosure size they needed. It sounded horrible, and it was tuned to 32 Hz. I want louder, but still some quality. Maybe 40 is too high, but something higher than 32. 36 sound good? This is what homework is for. So, I have roughly 2 cubes per sub to port them with. I can't find the specs on the Alpines, and I can't calculate what the Adires want. Grr.. Budget is tight, so I'm losing the Res and Infinity's, not enough good heard in their favor. As far as I'm concerned, I like the Alpines for that hint of cosmetics, and I like Adires for the lack thereof. However, the Adires have a curiously small magnet and simple spade terminals. Alpines look all around sturdier, have bigger magnets, and better terminals.
