[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8405066, member: 658055"] Thanks for the input. I stepped away to address some other things, but I'm back to proceed with this build. I'm envisioning a rectangular box with slot port (possibly aero) flipped so both are facing down. How do I build it up to allow clearance between the box and the floor? I figure if I make the side longer to lift up the box it's sort of like lengthening one side of the port, which I'd imagine would affect tuning. Also, is there a rule of thumb for distance, or should I just stack books under it until I think it sounds good, then make something more permanent? The spec sheet from the manual details a 55 Hz tuned box. Is this just a recommendation? Can you put a sub in any frequency box according to your musical tastes? One last thing, is there any way to tell how low a sub can play (unless it's listed in the spec sheet)? I found a youtube video with this sub in a T-line enclosure doing a 25 Hz test. Not that I want to play crazy low music all the time, but I'd like to know if there's a cutoff where lower notes could be damaging to the sub. I quoted you, KHA, because you're very knowledgeable, but I don't mean to put you on the spot. Anyone is welcome to chime in. [/QUOTE]
