Bronze Member Username: WarlokOrlando, FL USA Post Number: 43 Registered: Dec-05 | Could someone please give me some advice for my buddy. He has a pioneer 980bt for a HU, 3 pioneer premier tw-s3004 subs, & a kicker 2500kx in a 2000 cadillac deville with limited trunk space. My question is what kind of box should be used to get either maximun SPL or SPL and SQ out of these subs... should he go with pioneer recomended specs with 1.25 cubic foot per chamber or would it hit harder with more space ? Should he go ported or sealed ? Also, does the shape of each chamber matter in a box because he has a prefab box bought for 4 12" but i am skeptical because the internal box design. Its triangle shaped in the inside, instead of each champer being a perfect square or close too, the woofer itself sends the waves to the center of the apex. Please help me help my friend Nick |

Post Number: 10437 Registered: Jul-05 | i had 1 of these subs up until 2wks ago NEVER bother with specs pioneer rec since its waaaaay too small making their subs sound like POO which is what most ppl would say when they hear boxes built with pio specs i had mine in a 3 cuft ported box (pio rec 2cuft) - slot port it give this sub about 30sq" of port area or more & tune around 33hz for the lows - look @ my box here https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/system-showcase/303483.html do allow the sub/s to break in since they will sound ALOT better since they r very stiff when new |
