Does More Box Volume = Louder?

[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8816947, member: 611804"] It's all dependant on the sub In most cases you go with a small box when you want a high/narrow peak and have plenty of power on tap. You will often run into thermal limits before mechanical burp box In a bigger box the peak is shallower and wider making it more musical but you lose the box spring effect meaning the mechanical suspension of the sub does more work and thus you reach mechanical limits before thermal limits. Port area and tuning also affects the choice as well as cabin gain. Personal preference for me is I like a larger box because it allows me to play lower and higher with less power at the loss of a little output. Playing 30-80hz flat is near impossible but the general goal is something along that line for a starting point for a musical box. [/QUOTE]
