RSDc 12 dual 2 ohm..think I need a bigger sealed box?

Post by gentlejax2 »

I beleive its a .70 cubic foot box...so after the sub allowance that would be little less than that.

I put a decent amount of polyfill in it but I am wondering if I need to step up to a 1 cubic ft box.

that is about as big as I can allow.

or maybe put some more poky in it. I put maybe half a bag of the regular stuff they sell at walmart.. I think its a 1lb bag


I am running it now and its ok but my amp is not strong enough to move it how I want.only 200_rms ..going to be putting about 500rms on that joker any day now.

only one way to really know if you will like it better.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

the thing with polyfill is if you use too much it starts to have the opposite effect you actually start losing airspace it takes some experimentation but when you get it right you,ll know on my last box it came down to just a hand full more of fill to get the sound i wanted.
