Just Got off phone with Kicker

For my 11.3 cubic foot box they highly recommended 38hz over anything else and nothing under 37hz. They also suggested not to use a single chambered box but instead chamber off each sub. If they are all shared then their tuning frequencies will change because they are different lengths away from the port supposedly. Would any of you still believe a shared box would still work?

Divide the port area and put it one on each end. actually wait a minute dont the kicker pre-fabs come single chamber with only one port?

I'm not sure man. But that's just what he suggested. Hmm

I just took a quick look at kickers website and the comps. and cvr's both come in a single chamber single port box but i didnt see the L series boxes on the site. So I dont knwo what the guys talking about.

Yeah, but maybe he was recommending chambering them off since I have 4 subwoofers.

ohh 4 woofers... more than 1 amp?

^^^^Looks like hes going to run one Hifonics....

Running all four subwoofers in a single chambered box shouldnt make an audible difference in tuning frequency since they will all be wired together to one amp....

HOWEVER, running seperate chambers per pair or per sub will add crucial bracing for that huge box....yes you WILL need bracing....

why not try 32 - 34Hz?

Too low for the L7s, they have massive dropoff. All that I state is coming directly from the Kicker rep I talked to today. Polecat has also helped.

I tried 30-32 and sealed is actually louder in my car then ported that low.
