Type r question.... i know... another one

[Ctminime 10+ year member]

i just got my dual 4 ohm type r sub and i have it in the box that i formerly had my terrible audiobahns in. im running one right now and the other one is ordered... it is being powered by a hifonics tx1505d (1500 watts) running at one ohm wired paralell so it is getting 750 rms at 1 ohm. so here is the real question. the box is pretty big and the audiobahns worked fine in it... but its like 1.3 or 4 cubic feet and i wanted to know is this box (witch is perfect for my trunk btw) way to big for this sub>? i mean i dont really know if it is comparable in loudness till i get the other sub in there to know for sure... but its not as loud with the single sub as i expected. so is it effecting the loudness and i compensate in anyway with wattage or gain adjustment? any help with this question would be awsome thanx...

Well what size is the box? You said 1.3cft or 4cft? If it is 1.3 it is a little small. I have mine 1.75 sealed and they sound good. If it is 4cft then yes it is too big.

nah i didnt explain i guess my bad i mean 1.3 or 1.4 somthing in that range... not 4.... im not that much of a system noob.. lol i only asked this question cuz they are suggested sealed like .7 to 1.0 so i dont know... could there be any other things that im missing that might be wrong to make it a little louder cuz right now it is not meeting my expectations... pity...
