If a sub calls for a box 1.5 cft and you put it in a box that is 3 cft will it sound horrible? I haven't ordered the sub yet I was just wondering if it would sound empty or hollow?

i did that just last wk - i put a sub in a 4cuft box when they rec 2cuft

it sounded ok but like it was missing some bass freq - u can overexert ur sub that way & damage it though ....

the higher hz will sound muddy, and the sub will need less power to reach full excursion, so if you put too much power to the sub it will more than likely bottom out.

I love these SPL guys to whom 100hz means "highs"
