Hi guys. I recently bought a 10" alpine type R, and it is currently in an Atrend prefab box, at 1.25 Cu ft and tuned at 42Hz. It is sitting on the rear drivers seat of my 2013 dodge ram, facing foreword. I am running an alpine m1000 at 1000 watts rms, although I will be switching to a Jl jx1000.1D amp as the alpine will be going back in my car in the spring. I am finding this box cannot produce the bass and low end punch I am looking for, so I'm looking at building a bigger box that's tuned quite a bit lower. I found some plans for a box online, and am wondering if anyone can tell me if a 2.5 cu ft box tuned at 34 hz is going to work with this sub or if that is too large of a box. I listen to a large range of music, including country, pop, rock and roll, but mainly metal, hard rock, and dub step. I also listen to rap and other bass heavy music, but no matter what I listen to, I always like the bass as deep as possible. I would also like to know if this box will work for this sub, is it going to hit hard and will it be clean, or should I just go to a 12? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
