Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7Post Number: 45 Registered: Dec-06 | Ok I'm gonna be powering the 18" Fi Bl with a kicker zx1500.1 at 2 ohms and the enclosure recommendations are 5-10 cubic feet 30-37hz if i remember correctly but thats kinda broad anyone have a more specific recommendation? |

|
Gold Member Username: OglejustPost Number: 2005 Registered: Aug-06 | 6 cuft 35hz |
|
Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7Post Number: 46 Registered: Dec-06 | ha yeah i got the dual 1 ohm. well i guess what i'm asking is.. how would a 5cu box at 35hz compare to a 8-9cu box at 35hz? |
|
Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 558 Registered: Nov-06 | well here is my guess for a bigger box, don't take it as the word of god: better low frequency extension, higher efficiency, maybe a bit sloppier sounding(?). |
|
Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7Post Number: 48 Registered: Dec-06 | Oh yeah and does anyone know of that website where i can type in the dimensions and tuning and it will give me all the board sizes and all? i've seen it once but i forgot where |

Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 765 Registered: Mar-06 | 7.5 cu ft tuned at 35hz. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7Post Number: 49 Registered: Dec-06 | Yanks fan i didn't actually expect anyone to find that haha.. but yeah thats it, pretty surprising. I want this sub to hit low so i'm kinda leaning toward 35hz at 6-7cu ft appreciate all this help though |
|
Silver Member Username: GarciagPost Number: 185 Registered: Jul-06 | hey let me know what you think of it because im thinking of getting the same sub and what options do you have with it |
|
Bronze Member Username: Shawn_flemingGainesville, Florida Post Number: 95 Registered: Sep-06 | If looking for the low lows why not tune to 32? |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 1785 Registered: Jul-05 | 9 cubes 28hz. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7Post Number: 50 Registered: Dec-06 | Yeah Garcia I'm supposed to get the sub on thursday so i'll try to let you know how it is. I think a 7 cuft enclosure tuned to 35hz will do the trick |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 1398 Registered: Dec-06 | I'm with Jake. Why not go to 28HZ? You want lows... |
|
Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7Post Number: 51 Registered: Dec-06 | I don't want to go to low and lose some SPL nor do I want to build a 9 cu ft box to steal all my trunk space. Ok this might be me final choice here.. 7 cu ft @ 32 hz if i don't like it i'll just change it later, but i'll let you guys know how its sounds. |
|
Silver Member Username: Shawn_flemingGainesville, Florida Post Number: 115 Registered: Sep-06 | thats sounds perfect to me Ken. I like the 32 hz tuning. My van with the 8 BTL's is tuned to 32. Well 32.5 to be exact! |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5355 Registered: Jun-04 | you can go smaller and polybatton it put it in loose first ....get the sheets then youll know the results and tuning (5.1 cubes with six pounds of poly batting) should give you at least 6.5 cubes |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5356 Registered: Jun-04 | maybe try 5 pounds first to be safe and add to as much as six pounds |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5357 Registered: Jun-04 | slowly up to 6 pounds I meant |
|
Bronze Member Username: Livingloudl7Post Number: 54 Registered: Dec-06 | Yeah I have heard filling the box yields about a 20% increase in volume.. But I think I'll just build the box the size I want it so the tuning doesn't get adjusted from not knowing the actual volume of the box |
