I think you will be happy anywhere between 2-3 ft3. Another nice thing about sealed boxes is that they are very forgiving as far as miss-alignments... Personally, I would put it in a 2ft3 ish box with no fill.... The only type of dampening I use in a sealed box that already has a target Q is to line the walls with an inch or so of fiberglass for the sole reason of cutting down distortion caused by mechanical driver noise/upper harmonics...

I have 2 in 3cf sealed chambers off 1500 watts a piece and I love it

It makes sense to not care how a speaker sounds in actuality rather than how the paper says it sounds. You sir, are an idiot. Let's not clutter this thread with your complete lack of understanding of acoustics and most things in general, which you have thoroughly demonstrated thus far in our encounters. Keep the posts in this thread on topic or they will be removed. If you wish to discuss objective driver evaluations (and your apparently lacking ability to understand them) versus subjective listening impressions (differences which you clearly don't understand), start another thread and we can gladly discuss it.

But seriously, like Ryan said above, let's not try to attack other forums with a full blown topic like this. I understand people are not happy with the changes on that site, but please let's not drag it out here too.

Pulled off door panel, did another layer of resin and mat. Tomorrow lots of sanding and bondo!

Build a better box instead of wasting your money on more subs.

You are trolling for something, Do you need a hug little guy?

Look guys, I am all for outing douchebags and assholes, and Ant applies in both instances, but I will not say it again. DO NOT BRING DRAMA FROM OTHER FORUMS TO OUR HOME! You may post here if it pertains to this forum or otherwise, but not if it pertains to another. Thanks!

If that happens just get a N2 and watch it demolish that sub. idk how you would come up with that pricing but if it is so... why would you buy a lesser Fi built sub for a higher price?? The BTL & ZCON are meant to do different things. Totally different subs. Were you trying to make a point? If so, please try again.

Why not build a box on the bigger side (3cf) and add mdf to the inside until you get what your after. Then you can rebuild to that size to reduce the space. Best I can tell you is 3cf sounded very good, but could have been a little smaller with no issues.

Why is a qtc of 0.60 with a vb of 3.0^3ft better than a qtc of 0.70 with a vb of 1.75^3ft????? May or may not be for you, depends on your goals. Every manufacturer has to pick a Qtc for their recommended box sizes. Normally they end up having someone in marketing choose a number that the engineers present to them that they feel corresponds to their specific market. Generically speaking .7 is considered normal and lower numbers are more damped higher more "warm". On top of that the Q of the box will affect the roll off in the frequency domain. In the car audio world this can also be chosen such that it utilizes the "average" cabin gain effectively. I think no one really answered because you said better or they don't understand Qtc. Different sure, better, maybe. For sealed boxes in a listening area I would definitely encourage polyfill, for a trunk of a car not so much. It isn't only used for making the driver think its in a larger enclosure.

When I paid for my Alternator I got it around 8 days, they answered every question I had, picked up every phone call, and provided me with a tracking number the first time I asked. When I got my alternator I contacted them with installation questions and they helped me step by step.

I have a 25' monoprice RCA and it is hella stiff but it is really nice quality stuff.

same!

Awesomee!

We did do just exactly that on most things, but with over 15k products on the website some of them did slip through the crack..
