do you guys think that if i drop my box from 4 cubes to around 3-3.5 that i'll get more output from the sub without hurting it? i feel right now as if it's too efficient at 4 cubes... let me know, thanks

but will it sound like @ss? will it hit hard? i'm look for hard hitting and loud to your ear, not for competitions

yes it will be loud to your ear and definitly hard hitting

just work on a better design... the box specs you have now should work great.

tuning to 45hz WILL sound like ***... say goodbye to any low end.

i think i'll just make a smaller box and tune around 32 and see what happens... i guess i didn't really get an answer to my question "will a smaller box decrease efficiency so that i won't hurt my sub" ???

I always thought that a larger box will increase efficiency, making your sub do more with less power.

Care to elaborate on your box a little more??? If what you said above is true then you certainly have it all wrong.

i have a ported box, it is 6cubic feet. 16 inch heigh, 45 inch lengh, and depth 24inch. 4 cubic feet for the sub alone, then 2 cubic feet for the ported area. it is 3/4 mdf wood. and i am powering it up with a 1200.1 concept. in a mini van. with very very little sealonly on trunk door.

if its too efficient at 4 cubes why not try turning the gain down? i think turning a knob will save you a lot of time and money when compared to designing and building a brand new box that is only .5 cubes smaller...

bigger boxes are more efficient meaning less power is needed for the same output as compared to a smaller box...soooo just lower the gain to send less power...

Tune it to about 38-39 hertz, and it will still sound good. 45 is a bit to high for everyday listening, but 38-39 is about right for some more output. Give it a try.
