well here is what i have to work with.
7x data safe batts
2 40.1's strapped @ 1ohm
4x custom konaki 18" subs
33 cube box tunned to 35hrtz
 -

I did a 153 @ 43 hrtz on the tl today but would like to see what you guys think about some long 45's behind the subs. maybe a couple of dividers between the subs? anything that you might have in your brain. maybe the box is to big?

edit! the box is a little different from the pix. the port is only 4" deep and i do have the front panel done

looks like it could be real loud!! I would do some rounding inside the box. also u can try moving the box forward and back to see if you can find any gains. after that I would go ahead and seal it off that should help you pick up too. good luck with the build and keep us posted

Dividers between subs will deff gain some. 45s may or may not work. just remember your peak freq will change.

that is a sick score with so little power.

put resin in the box and you must have deviders between the subs.

so i added the sub dividers and lost.3 I added 17" wide 45's behind the subs and got it back to a 154.8 then i took out the dividers and lost again ?????

will the sub dividers do the same if my port length is only 4"??I was thinking about going with a 10" port length with sub dividers. does anyone think it will help?
