Too Small enclosures

Bronze Member Username: Vash3000Post Number: 75 Registered: Nov-06 | What happens if the box is build too small for the sub? Will the sub get damaged from this and also will the sub make some kind of popping noise or something to that extent? |

And in case you want to know of proof of claim I made a box that was about 1.46 cubic feet net and ported it to about 45 hz and with fill it moved down to 39 hz which gave the same results as about a 2 cubic foot box net. |

Bronze Member Username: Vash3000Post Number: 77 Registered: Nov-06 | The subs need about 1.25 cubic feet before driver displacement and right now they are about 1.0 cubic feet before displacement. So maybe about .3 or so smaller than the recommended size. Will the smaller enclosure make have an effect on the sub? Like a popping noise or some sort? Also is there any way I can tell if my sub's voice coil is blown or defective? |
