[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8262122, member: 655960"] Wow, I haven't heard the myth that you shouldn't build a box according to the manufacturer's specification. That's a new one on me. You should probably also not use the type of engine oil the manufacturer of your car suggests. ;-) Manufacturer recommendations for boxes are the best compromise between power handling, performance and space and are perfectly fine for most applications. If you want louder or lower you need to have the sub modeled in software that takes into account the TS numbers of the sub, otherwise you're just rolling the dice. Also, larger boxes don't equate to louder. Sometimes they do but it depends on what your reference is. In other words... larger than what? If the manufacturer's spec is already for a large box then making it larger may lower the SPL. In my experience with Skar subs, I would guess that that sub needs about 7-9 cubes to do well on the lows and still be loud. But again, we wouldn't know without modeling it. [/QUOTE]
