[QUOTE="shiftless, post: 1414683, member: 565735"] Yes i know, but an 18" would be too bassy for what i listen to. Sure i could turn it down, but then what's the point in getting a sub so large if i'm not going to push SPL? i just wanted to accent the bass a little bit. without spending a lot... It does sound like tapping the cone with my finger nail. but only on the hits. IF i run the amp at full pass it doesn't do it, but when i LPF it and cut the Hz to about 150Hz the bass is great until it hits, then it makes that sound. and i get pissed and turn it back to full pass. it's not like a ringing dinging sound but it does resemble a very muffled whomp sound. it's not like a cracking split sound that occurs during clipping, and i know that it's not getting 600W. RMS for the speaker is like 340 or somehting and i wanted to run them at around 400 but i can't get it up loud enough with out the hits making that sound. I want to say it said around .3 cuft. but that's freakin small after you take into the mounting depth... so i got a lot of info from the web and most of the sites suggested 1 cuft to 1.5 cuft for a 10". The wood or brick idea, is what my friend said alot of ppl do. does it seem like i have too much volume in the box? (not sound but space or air) **************************** Overall i don't want to do any competitions, i just want to listen to my music without anything distorting when it gets loud. and i wired the four 6x9s because four is louder than 2 and the front speakers are crap. i put high pass crossovers on the 6x9 and wired them in series. it cuts the power to each speaker and at loud volumes, brings the highs and mids out without hurting your ears and clipping.
