Well im going at building another box for my truck, its going to be sealed this time. I have 2 jl W0's I did the math out for one in a sealed box. It calls for like 2.3 Ft^3. In the JL manual they say to use 1.5^3. I rather stick with the 1.5 but what do you guys think is better?

The company made the the subs, so I bet they know whats the best for them.

if youre giving them rated power, id stick with 1.5^3' per..

il probably end up giving them a little more than the 150 rated, probably like 200-250 or so

then go smaller..definately not larger.

x2

as box size increases, the subs power handling decreases.

So go smaller than the 1.5ft^3 they gave me or the 2.29 from my calcs?

If you're going to feed them more than rated power go smaller than JL's recommended 1.5ft^3 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

So heres my box design. Sorry if im being a pain I just dont want to **** it up this time. The red area is dead space. I need the outside dimensions of the box to be the size they are. So to remove airspace i decided to just build out cubes. Its 3Ft^3.

seperate the 2 subs...dont put them in a common chamber in that config...and id honestly try to stray away from pointing the subs in different directions.

 

[tanky321 10+ year member]

What will pointing the subs in diffrent directions do? Will it really be that bad?

I noticed a big improvement from firing my 2 boston acoustic 12's upward (in sealed boxes) to 1 firing downward (sealed box). Eventually I will add the second, but it sounds only a little less loud but MUCH better firing down in the cab. I dunno how much room you have, but from the looks of your box you could raise the floor and add both subs firing down. Something to think about anyway!
