[QUOTE="ShaunMac, post: 285706, member: 547000"] 3 cu ft. per sub is going to give you a large peak above tuning feq. Which is great for SPL!! But stray too far above or below the tuning freq. and the output will drop off big time. Which is bad for SQ. Just something to think about. I have a single 15 slot ported in a large box. It sounds great around the tuning freq, but play something with higher bass that is above the tuning freq and the output is very limited. And the loss of that higher octave of bass energy can diminish the sonic impact of many recordings. And the high output around the tuning freq can be quite overwhelming and unrealistic on some recordings, giving the music a muddy bassed out sound. Enclosures with large peaks have advantages and disadvantages. Just depends on what type of sound you're after. If your looking for sheer volume at expense of SQ, go with the 3 cuft. But if you want a flatter more balanced sound try 1.5 - 2.25 cu ft. I'll try to work on some numbers tomorrow for you. for the 3 cu ft per sub enclosure tuned@27Hz. BTW what types of music do you listen to most often? [/QUOTE]
