mtx 5500 box ?

[snick 10+ year member]

i just got two 12'' mtx 5500's in the thunder box.

i was wonderin if it would be smart to make my own tuned to 32hz.

how big of a box would these take to sound good and hit low?

also i only have 475rms goin to both of them combined

they ought to be fine in that box. iirc, it's tuned to like 36hz.

just leave em unless you are changing it for looks

well it would basically be for performance issue's

cuz i had a l5 in prefab truck style box from kicker and put that in a 2 cube 32 hz box.

like night and day

so i was wonderin if it would be the same with this

but, was that prefab box designed specifically for the subs?

I have tested those mtx boxes and i thin they do a very good job. I can do one that beats them if i want to lean toward sq or spl, but they are a good enclosure

well i know i am not given them enough power i can still throw another 400rms at them.

but it just dosent seem like they are hitten the lows like my 10l5 did.

thats why im thinkin of makin a new box at around 32hz.

I had two of them (well have, will try to sell them soon) in a sealed enclosure 1.27 square feet with the 300rms running to each and they performed fairly well and hit the lows nicely, just a reccomendation that if you can get your hands on a large sealed box just to try them out go ahead and see how you like it. And yes I realize you appear to be interested in a ported box...just making a suggestion.
