[QUOTE="Trixter, post: 4109342, member: 542668"] yes the power handling would suffer....but you giving it less anyways. the larger the box, the more effecient the sub becomes....meaning the easier it will move with less power. so...if your going to under power it, put it in a larger box. the mfg's specs are for giving it the rms power. your only giving it 2/3 of what it can handle...so make the box on the big side...even 1cu' would be ok. the opposite is true....if you were going to give it 250w rms, you would have to put it in a smaller box to handle it. think of the air in the box as a spring (which it really is) the smaller the box, the tighter the spring and the less movement so the more power it can take.....the larger the box, the looser the spring and and more movement so the less power it can take. polyfil...probably....
