[QUOTE="st0n3r, post: 7827442, member: 641361"] Ok, so looks like a current set of prints i recently bought aren't going to cut it for the size of the sub. My current prints listed it as 34w x 17d x 16h and says 4.2cubes at 35hz. After speaking with builders they state that with that size it is not going to be nearly enough space. Said that the sub would be best in about 6 cubes and that my above dimensions are approx 2 cubes. I am completely confused now. The blueprint designed says 4.2 cubes on the size above, but a builder / designer says its about 2/3rds less than whats needed. The sub is brand new, unused, but bought too long ago to get a refund etc. Should i just use the above specs for the size and just go sealed? Its impossible for me to literally double my enclosure size to get closer to the required amount of space needed. Im just really lost on what to do at this point. I doubt selling the sub would net me anything to get say a rock solid 12" sub thats new with warranty, so i will likely stick with the 15" sub. If i go sealed with the above sized box, will my t1500bdcp rockford amp be enough to push it? I know it will require more power in sealed so more work for the amp, but other than that what am i going to lose going sealed? The thread showing the difference really only spends all the time talking about ported enclosures. I know i wont get the SPL at all in a sealed box, but will it still get loud and hit hard? [/QUOTE]
