2.278 cu. ft tuned at 32 hz with 33.75 sq in of port area?

Should i make the box a little smaller? Change the port area?

not bad. i would do a little higher tuning on the port for a kicker sub. maybe 35-38. but no sub sounds bad tuned to 32hz. you might get a little more output with a 38hz tuning.

Im not looking for straight spl, looking for more low end //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

is that net of or gross?

box seems a lil big for a 10

That's net, and i was surprised too, but it seems the kicker L7 likes a big box. i took the specs from the kicker website

You have 1 or 2 L7's?

 

[NWI_#73 10+ year member]

I have this one for sale if you have 2 10's

Yeah, I'd recommend tuning a tad higher unless you want to play nothing but low notes.

One L7, what about 34 hz? Im not looking for just SPL

anyone who says they like smaller boxes, hasn't heard them in a bigger box. they do very well in a bigger box. it's one of kickers disadvantages IMO. big box subs. put that 10 in about 2.25 cubes tuned to 34-38hz, and you'll like it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Kicker has specs for a street bass box for my 2004 model of the sub. The box is 1.75cf. They also list a 1.25 and 2.25. For the 2006 they only show the 1.25 and 2.25 in their manual. I'm sure you can use the 1.75cf box for the 2006 also.

I built the 1.75 box and it was good. The 2.25 is listed as a deep bass/SPL box.

Not sure how music would sound with that big of a box.

music sounds good in 2.25. it's only an spl box if you tune the port high, but 2.25 cubes tuned to 35hz or so sounds nice. i did L5 10's awhile back in 1.75 cubes and it did sound good, but if you have the space, i would recommend 2.25. i'm more of a heavy metal/rock guy, so i'd probably drop volume down to 1.75-2.0 to maybe improve accuracy a little.
