Sealed into a ported

[PV Audio 5,000+ posts]

for sealed it is....the specs say 0.4cf...the guy that built my box didn't follow my instructions...it's nowhere near loud enough for the power I'm putting to them as it is

There is not a subwoofer over 8" on the market that does well in .4 cubic feet sealed. Are you looking at the Vas, because that's entirely different.

well maybe I need to push them harder then...I'm semi-conservative with the gains...set everything with a 0db test tone...maybe I should try a -1db tone or something lower?

No, you need a larger enclosure. 2.2 cubes ported is absolutely nothing.

Then I will leave it as 2.2 cubes sealed....that's all I wanted to know is if it would work or not (need the back seat so huge ported is not an option)

I mean yeah, it'll work, but you'd probably be happier (take that back, I know you would be happier) with a moderately sized sealed box versus a super high tuned honking ported box.

I just need some more volume (loud type, not space) maybe I'll have to cut out the back of the box and glass that over to get a little deeper woofer like an SSA Icon in there or something.
