The other day I heard a guys system, and it sounded crazy, the bass was clear and almost impeccabble. It sounded like he had 2 fifteens. When he showed me that he was running 2 6 and a half inch midwoofers off a 200 watt kenwood amp, my jaw dropped. He had a crazy box, and i was wondering how to reproduce it. any thoughts would be aprreciated
there are pros and cons to every type of enclosure. a snailshell can give you plenty of gain from small subs, much like a TL enclosure, depending on the type of response curve you're after from those speakers.
there are some generic designs floating around the net, but generally you want to use software to design a good one to match the driver you're using. you get good low end extension with the design with high output. masked distortion, pretty good range of response if it's tuned right.. disadvantage is difficulty of design and construction, and mammoth size.
