anyone have a box design for these subs so we can get the maximum potential SPL out of them while still able to use them everyday as well...

for now we are gonna try to brace it add rounded corners, and make it smaller on the inside....

that should tune it from being a 30.6 hz box into a 39.5 hz if the calculations are correct..

anyone ...?anyone....? LOL
