help hand in making a box for home JBL e150P home sub

Post by kg1961 »

hello everyone
I would like to make a new box for this home sub using the same sub,amp and port. I would like it to be a shallow box say 8inch or less and would like the same output as oem. im putting 2 of these behind my seats in my theater room as I don't have space with all my other gear
I have about 15" between studs but its going into the storage are so if deep is what I need so be it
please let me know what you think and the best output/feeling in the theather

the model is a 150 watt rms jbl
JBL E150P
thanks again

later say 6 month I might change the driver but let me know what you think box size port ect
most of my gear is gone :liar:

The problem I ran into in trying to find T/S specs on it is that it apparently comes from the factory as a powered sub, so they don't bother with enclosure info. That said, here is a manual I found that might help.

Being loud without good sound quality is pointless, but having good sound quality without being loud is also pointless.
