digger box or smaller box? i got a 15" sub with a hc motor that's getting built for me, and its just for burps, going to start with 3k on it and see how she holds up then jump to 6k.
this is going in my 94 voyager in the cargo area blow glass...got 5^ ft ez and that was what i was going to run, but Corey was saying i should run smaller box for cone control on that kind of power...pros and cons?

Is that 3k rated or 3k clamped? If it's 3k before impedence rise than I say bigger is better. If it's clamped I would go smaller. I'm running a HDC3 on 2000 rms clamped in 4.5 cubes and it loves it....and it's loud.

So with average rise of 2.5 or so you might actually see 2500 rms....maybe more for burps.. If the sub can handle it I am a believer in big boxes but I know alot of people disagree....
