What if...

no i have not but i have built and heard for myself I had my sa 10 in 1 cube and when i put it in .5 it was way louder they were both sealed on 1k

Research Hoffman's Iron Law. It will explain it all.

its quite simple.

smaller box =less efficent = requires more power for a certain output

larger box = more efficent = requires less power for a certain output.

the same thing applies to both sealed and vented. in my modeling experiance sealed tends to vary alot more than vented tho.

It says you can have the following 2 out of 3 things:small cabinet size, deep bass and high sensitivity.

Beat me to it. OP its not that confusing at all. If you're going with a bigger box than what is recommended you wont have to send as much power to your sub to achieve the same output because you're stepping up the efficiency of your system.

Awesome, thanks -01limited- and mat3833 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

that is physicly impossible. i mean unless you have found a way to bend and or destroy the laws of physics. and if so please, do tell. i need a 6.5" sub that can play 150DB at 10 hz.....

not a problem. having a slightly larger box will cause you no issues. it really only matters when you are already pushing more than rated power to your driver, then you can theoreticly exceed the mechanical limits of the sub. but in this case, thats not an issue. if u have the box you are talking about use it.

Ok Ok d@mn lol Sorry for the confusion op you learn something new every day lol (smaller box more power, spl ftw lol)

So much faillllll. Big boxes allow easier air flow and less power to get moving. Smaller boxes equate more power due a stronger resistance in air motion.

Ya ya ya my bad i would be the same way if some dummy (me) jumped in a thread not knowing wtf he (me) was talking about but hey i admit it i was wrong and i learned
