Need box ideas.

I would never tune over 35 ever, but to each his own lol

2.25 cubes @ 34 hz.

Agreed, except I'd probably prefer to tune a little lower myself. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

sounds good! i'm probably going to tune it at like 35 though. I want to get a good mixture of highs and lows.

sit for a second, turn your speakers up, listen and watch closely when you click the play button here: YouTube - ‪HexiBase's Channel‬‏

this will help dispell the myth you are limiting yourself with by choosing a tuning frequency as your goal or handicap/contingency to reaching that goal. what professional dictated that your goal necessitates the use of a bass reflex or "ported" box? If your goal required the use of a tapered transmission line or a rear loading horn to make the sub do what you want, would not having a "tuning frequency of X" cause the whole project to be scrapped? If not and the goal is still the same, no matter what it takes to make it happen....then i implore you to read up on the pwkdesigns.com website a little and fill in the request form. going that far is relatively simple and free. i'd recommend you watch as many of the box related videos on his youtube channel as you can to learn a little more about what's going on.

good luck.

PWK takes FOREVER to reply, if he does at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'd still do 2.25 at 34 hz for you...

For me, it'll be like 2.5 @ 28 hz because I don't like my subs...

as with any company, you gotta know how and who to stroke to make things happen.

Thank you everyone for the help, but I decided against getting the CVX. I decided to purchase two JL 15's, the old school w6's.

I have no idea what i'm going to do for a box, all I know is that its going to take up my whole trunk.

Honestly I think that is going to be quite a good sounding setup.

JL recommends 2.25 cubic feet per 15w6, which is tiny.

 

[Buck 5,000+ posts]

But that'd be good because it wouldn't take up as much space in your trunk.

Yeah, I think it's going to sound great too, wiring is going to be a ***** if it runs at dual 6 ohms..

& I need box ideas for two, should I just take the recommended for one and mutliply those specs by two?

I had 2 of the W6 15's back in high school, like '95-'97. They were great, wish I had kept em.

It seems people are big fans of these, what was the latest year they were made? I'm pretty sure the ones I have aren't that old.
