Well, I can tell you that when I really have the volume up, the back wall (fibreglass), does flex a tiny bit. I was only able to tell by pointing a light at it and looking at it like an inch away.

As for porting it, I've been toying with the idea since I want a bit more output. I can put the port in as long as it doesn't have to be on the same wall as the driver. The only place I could put it would be on top of the box, and I would likely have about 1.5-2 inches from the tip of the port to the bottom of the box.

Thanks alot guys, I really appreciate all the help and suggestions.

 

You can port it sure. I would recommend that anyways but it still doesnt solve your subs control. what Kind of amps is it? The sub still should not be doing what it is. Even at 1.25 [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Fix that problem and port it and you will be in business [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

The amp is a JL500/5, which has a 250W mono channel for the sub.

 

On the Mono channel check the Bass boost and Q adjustment. It may be peaked at a low frequency up to high.

If it is then turn down the 1 band boost. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

Okay, I understand the bass boost thing, but I know that's not it because if I have the remote boost control **** plugged in (which I do), it defeats the on-amp controls. I have turned the boost all the way down and have still managed to bottom the sub out on certain tracks.

As for the Q, sorry, I'm not that technically savvy, what does that mean [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
