Now, Paul, a larger sealed box will not make a speakers FO sound boomy. As a matter of fact, a sealed box will reach its ceiling and beyond that point it will just not reduce the F3, but it will not start to sound boomy. It will just reduce volume. Chase, To answer your question, consider this; Taking one of the woofers out will not necessarily make your box the right volume the sub will need to reach optimum output, and/or flat response, and/or F3. One thing is for sure, it will definetly sound different. Thats all. It may be for better or for worse. Best advise is to have your sub specs and design a box using a professional box building program, according to the subs capabilities, and design it to fit in the volume you have. You may be in luck and find that indeed the box volume you currently have is good, but chances are that it may not, so dont try and cut corners cuz you may end up regreting. There are plenty people in here that can help you design a custom box, probably even as close to the volume you have right now. You may even contact FI. I m sure they can definetly give you the best advice. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveNj US Post Number: 2447 Registered: Jun-06 | Yeah, I guess I assumed he had a sealed box. Simply removing one of the subs changes the box's tuning the remaining sub sees. Without knowing the box and sub's specs, who knows if it will sound better or worse. D@mn Mix, where have you been all my life??  |
