I'm starting to see some very small ported boxes do big numbers.

Are larger boxes going belly up with the Termlab Sensors?

BlackIce - up the power to 4kw and retest [Wink] The little one will overtake the larger one. [Big Grin]

But be careful, the big one will start letting the sub rip itself apart...

I too use a large port. I tried very small ports and worked my way up to 500 square inches for 2 15s. Sme setups like smaller some larger. Test test test test test test test test test test till your blue in the face and test somemore. You will never know unless you test. I think thats enough test Maybe not.

This weekend down in Miami Fl I saw a guy do a 161 on the dash with supposedly a "Chris Norris" proto type woofer. He was running 1 15 in a wall with 4 Kicker Kx 1200s in a wall in an old style Blazer. He was between 7 and 15 cubes for 1 woofer and close to 500 square inches of port. I couldnt beleive it until the dude behind him did a 140 on thedash with 2 L7s. So you can still get loud with a big port. [Big Grin] [Cool]
