[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8820731, member: 683415"] My build is a Definitive Audio Designs MAK15 in a 4.2 cu ft box tuned to 32 (check out my page I have a video on one of my posts of the full build). Seemed extremely peaky on lower notes. Destroys my ears and sounds muddy. When I roll down my windows it helps flatten it out but it's still there. I know SPL increases around port tuning frequency, but I'm not about it. I like flat and loud so it sounds as natural as possible. Is there any way to flatten this out? On a side note, what is the relation between airspace and tuning regarding how they affect transient response? My set up is pretty good with rap music but if there is a lot of transients such as double bass pedals, or where the bass suddenly stops I feel like there is slight over hang. It makes me miss my first build which was a 10 inch kicker in a .67 sealed box. Transients we're good and metal/rock was fantastic. I've heard that sealed boxes are peakier than ported boxes. Was looking at 4 NVX VCW 12' each in 1.25 sealed boxes if I can fit it. How might that stack up in SPL in my current system [/QUOTE]
