it should be ok in the box you have now. but if its because it doesnt sound right its because it doesnt lol. ive played around with the P1's and they sound just horrible... missing notes here and there and i find that they sound "peaky"..

y did you change sub??

Its a $70 sub, I wouldn't bother with a break in. Just hook it up and enjoy it.

the best box would be the one it came in so that you can return it ...

the P1's don't seem to like anything but a small sealed box.

I tried 3 different sizes of sealed enclosures with my P1
1.25 cubes
0.95 cubes
0.75 cubes

I had the best sound outta the 0.95 cubic foot one (stuffed with minimal fill)

My best advice is dont go over its rated RMS. Mine blew after 3 days on roughly 200rms
