[QUOTE="Raven, post: 690777, member: 558368"] I currently use 1.66 cubes with 30^2 inches of port tuned to 35hz. I was going to put them in a 2.3 cube sealed box, but I didn't know how it'd handle the lack of air pressure in the enclosure, so I ported it instead. It's louder than my old sealed 15s in the same size enclosure (drag & drop amp/hu settings) but after a slight drop in the gains, I found myself maxxing out the volume on the HU and not being happy with it. I'm going to point them at the front of the car before I try a new box. The whole point of pointing them at the rear is to avoid cancellation by the back wave (IMO), but since porting it will redirect the back wave, pointing it at the front should (in theory) give a noticable boost. If that works, then I'll keep the box and wait on Jmac, whos building a better ported one (Cmon, don't be shy, Jmac, I took 30 minutes and an online calc to do my design. =p) then I'll do the same thing there. I'm trying to get the highest output out of these subs before I get a bigger amp. [/QUOTE]
