What size level 3s?

 

[splwj47 10+ year member]

2 12s

2 12s

Bass box pro likes 1.2 cubes per 12 sealed. Ported boxes need to be huge for flat-ish response with those 12's. (5 cubes per!)

A 1.5 to 2 cube box ported box shows a 3.5 db hump around 60 Hz.

This is all from Bass box Pro software. Maybe someone with some experience with these particular subs will chime in.

5 cubes per is too much for a single 12.....

Those level 3's only need 1.5 - 2 each ported. Some programs model up terribly for certain subs, but in reality they sound just fine.

You're not buying that sub to get a linear response.

it says on there site suggested ported is 1.5 cf so wouldnt u just times that by 2 and get 3cf and what would u want the box tuned to

3-3.5cf after port and sub displacement should do very well for the pair. As far as tuning that’s a personal decision you will have to make.

Ive used these subs. Stay with the 1.5 per tuned around 32-35
