[QUOTE="Subcut, post: 7314039, member: 628386"] Alright so I've been doing some forum crawling and ordered some ****. Anywho I've settled on a Sundown Audio SA-15 for a single sub, I listen to mostly rap and don't have just oodles of space but would like to get some nice lows. After more research I've picked up an Audioque 1200d amp, for solid power and potential future upgrade ability if necessary. Where I'm stuck is the box. You should know that I have no intention of building my own box, but if it's the only sensible route at this point i would be willing to pay someone to build a nice one for me. My main question is, how will it sound in this cheap *** box on ebay? It lists 3.4 cubic feet of airspace, but the dimensions indicate it's about 3.0 cubic feet, and it would be even less including the port and the subwoofer displacement. The recommended specs for the sundown are 3.0 cubes for a ported enclosure. How much is this .5 cubes under going to mess with my sound? Do they in fact take subwoofer and port displacement into account when suggesting a ported chamber volume, or are they indicating that it needs to be 3.0 after all displacements? I would love to have a nice loud fairly good sounding system while only having to spend 45 shipped for a nice clean carpeted box, and it's just about the perfect dimensions to divide up my trunk nicely with space for the amp.
