My current set up is 2 DB Drive PLW15D4's each in a 2.5 cubic foot box tuned to 40hz. I am looking into building a 3 c.ft. box for each and am wondering if it will make that much of a difference. What do you all thik??

Just you [Smile]

Just normal box specs I use...

for a 10 between .75 - 1.5 cube ported

12 between 1.5 - 2.5 cubes

15 2.5-4 cubes

18 4-6 cubes


I like going with a smaller box to control impedance rise, and tune it lower and its usually louder then when people try to just gain efficiency by building a gigantic enclosure

How about gooing from a 2.5 to a 3.5 cubic foot enclosure? Also I am using pvc ports now and would change to slot ports, would that make a difference?
