Bronze Member Username: Dominirica012Charlotte, North Carolina US Post Number: 46 Registered: May-05 | depending on the difference between the spaces it could sound good...but a box affects a sub alot in performance..it might sound good in one box but in the right box it could sound amazing |

Infinity_Addict Unregistered guest | JeremyC, you don't ADD filler to increase volume. his box is too small, not too big. BIG ed, the box will most likely limit yer subs' excursion, which means you won't get desired SPL out of them. it'll probably affect yer freq response to, like limit it, but i don't know how or by how much. are you sure the enclosure has .4 total, and not just on each side(as in there's a dividing wall between each subs airspace)? .4 seems pretty small, like it wouldnt even fit two 10s. |

Silver Member Username: AlpineuserWinchester, TN Post Number: 555 Registered: Mar-05 | If the box is too small will typically result in a boomy system that appears to have strong midbass and less low bass. Typically power-handling is improved though, unless the box is REALLY too small! You can compensate somewhat for a small box volume by adding stuffing to the box. Yes you add filler to increase volume if the filler is polyfill anyways The stuffing can make the box appear up to 40% larger to the driver. |
Bronze Member Username: Big_edPost Number: 24 Registered: Jun-05 | the reason there is limited space is because the box is going into a s10, and thats the largest custom box that can fit behind the seat. |
Bronze Member Username: Big_edPost Number: 26 Registered: Jun-05 | this is a link for the box http://www.subbox.net/store/catalog/Custom-Chevy-S-10-Regular-Cab-Subwoofer-Encl osure-1999-2004-p-33.html if anyone else knows of anything that will fit in an s10 please let me know |
