before i had my 15" type r in a 3.5^3 tuned to 32hz(slot port) but i had to put my spare tire in so i built another box that was 4^3 tuned to 28(aero)and now my sub is much quieter why could this be to big of a box or to low of a tunning
increasing box volume increase efficiency around tuning so low notes are probably a hell of alot louder... tune up to about 32-34 with more port area and it will be a bit louder from 30-45...
