I have a RE 12 XXX, Im only going to be playing on music. I need a SIMPLE box design, please help me out! this is what the site said for box reccomendation:

Sealed:
Compact- 1.85 Optimal- 1.1


Ported:

Compact- 1.7 @ 35 HZ Optimal- 2.2 @ 34 HZ

 

For slot ported, the simplest way is probably to use the " RE enclosure calculator." It gives you the measurments for the cuts etc.. Very easy to use.

Sealed? Don't bother

 

It has a flat response in 1.2 cubes sealed. It models a lot nicer than other subs in a sealed box.

Ported, do 2-2.5 cubes @ 35 Hz. People say you don't have to tune them low because they get low enough with the crazy xmax. They don't need huge boxes, but stay to within 2 cubes minimum.

Don't use the RE calculator, it's horribly inaccurate. It's nice for cut-outs though.

Give me your maximum useable dimensions. Make sure it'll fit into the car, through the door or trunk etc.

 

Thanks for the info guys! Looks like I may be getting a new one anyway.

 

meh nvm..

 

I had a 15" XXX and I was only going to be playing music.. Then I bought something that would play music. Worst sub I have ever owned.

 

Weird cause they are great sql subs! Many would say this.

ONe of the best sounding LOUD subs out there but each to their own.

 

The XXX was designed for sq...

 

sql,,,,,

 

My bad :P
