RSd12 box recommendations?

[Blad09]

So the manual says up to 3.2 cu.ft. "(heavy damping)". Is this polyfill or sumthin? My box is like 2.65 cu. after vent and sub displacement, should I be poly filling or is that even what that means? the only reason I ask is bcuz I just built the box and put a 12'' MTX in it and didn't even get a week of break in and the voice coil looks like a spider web of a mess. Could this be the box or just a shitty f'n sub? Gain was all the way down the whole time.

polyfill is one of those things that you really just don't know how it will effect the box/sub/sound IMO and it is something I like to try on each box just to see what sounds better. It only take a few minutes and costs a couple of bucks so IMO it is worth a try.

Now I am not sure about you mtx delema. IF the spider was comming apart it sounds like something was wrong.

I just wasn't sure cuz the manual says heavy damping so I thought it was a must or sumthin, but I am gonna try some fill just to see. My box has a 12''x3''x27'' long slot port, that should be okay right? As for the MTX, the spider is fine it's the voice coil that has come unwound and I picked a pour choice of words to describe it, lol. Thanks for input. Love the shit outta this phorum!!!!!!

Anyone else with some input?

what freq is the box's port tuned too?

[Blad09]

33-35. Probably too high for the RSd? Might just seal it.

My experience with that sub is that it's just not as loud as I prefer..... The RSdC is mo-better and doesn't require such a big box............

I had an RSD 12 in a 1.8 cubic ft box with a port tuned to 29 hz and it stomped out the lows really well. Your ported box should work out just fine. I think that box is a little too big to seal up though IMO. You would be better off building a 1.5-1.8 cubic ft sealed box if you wanna do it right.

Yea I wouldn't use this one to seal, I am considering building one around 2 cu ft (before displacement) port tuned a bit lower with the option to plug the port but we'll see how I like the 2.65 I should have it all hooked up sometime today and I will decide if I like it enough. Thanks for all replies!!
