According to Kicker your box is perfect for SQ.

Actually this is a first for me, just thought id mention it. Stuck up critics annoy me and you happen to catch me in a bad mood, sorry about the harsh words, your opinion is yours mine is mine. Mine works great for me since its from experience as im sure yours is. Anyhow, good to see that these threads never go off topic

So you call me a "stuck up critic" and in the same sentence appologize for your previous posts "harsh words"?
I caught you in a bad mood? My friend got flattened by an out of control dumptruck and was in surgery for 15hrs today. I had to try to put that out of my head for 10hrs today while I worked on a murder case against someone who decided to torture a young girl. But I'm sorry I caught you on a bad day.

My car is a "piece of "? My car looks like it just came off the showroom floor and anyone who knows me knows it always stays that way.
Seems odd you'd make an opinion on my car since you've never even heard my stereo but I guess you're grasping at straws. Go ahead and put your foot in your mouth again.
And don't use my name like you know me pal.

I'm not a lawyer. I'm the complete opposite.

ls, if you can dig threw all the bullshit you will find what you need. and it seems that you already do know what you have to do. start by toying with you box. buddy has a CV12 in a 2.75^3 tuned to 31 hz and it sounds really good considering hes only got 200 wrms going to it. If I was you I would half the size of each chamber and slowly go up from there(or down if its still sloppy).

Lol, I am really laughing out loud. I am pretty sure that Hardwrkr owned that argument and I am surprised that this thread wasn't locked (if that is possible on this forum). But ANYWAYS! Trojan stated a really good point:

It does state in the manual that 5 cubes is sq. But I guess I have heard many times before that product manuals sometimes give retarded info.

You might consider reducing your lowpass filter from 120Hz I think you said it was at, down to some wherething like 70Hz. This could help with midbass transition, let the 15's do the low dirty work and let your midbass drivers handle the higher frequencies they were designed to.

Lspade - The max net enclosure for your driver that Kicker recommends (which is basically what you're using) will be great for ultra low bass extension and big output down low but is not optimal for what you're looking for and is going against the problem you're encountering.

Try my original recommendation of dropping the airspace by adding into the enclosure and see how you like the difference. I would try ~3.0net and then make adjustments from there to tailer the sound.

Let us know how you make out.
