Posted April 7, 201312 yr I have a 4cu box tuned to 33 hz and a sp4 15 in it. if i were to get the hole cut bigger for a sp4 18..what would happen? and is the box too small for the sp4 18 to sound good. btw im in a pontiac g6
April 7, 201312 yr it would not sound better IMO, you would choke it, and most likely raise the peak, if your looking for more ouput you should look into a better encloser for your 15 and more more power ( maybe i dont know what either of them are looking like)
April 7, 201312 yr Author i have a saz 3k, am getting another to strap. but the box is pretty good now and very loud. just was curious about what kinda change i would see.
April 7, 201312 yr simply changing a 15 to an 18 will not gain you that much.. your only going up around 78 inches of cone area by doing so... roughly like adding a 10 inch woofer to your car... its around 78 inchs .
April 7, 201312 yr post some specs or blue prints of your enclosure, .. a good box makes a sub....... with that being said a poor box will make a great sub perform poorly, not saying your box is bad,
April 7, 201312 yr You'll gain more from doubling power then you would just swapping to an 18. But, you'll spend hell of a lot more on amp and electrical to back it up.
April 7, 201312 yr If you only have 1 you might be able to get away with it. A g6 trunk is pretty small.But you'll likely not see a difference as Jon said ur not gaining much cone area
April 10, 201312 yr If you haven't. I'd first look into perfecting other areas of the setup. Possibly sealing off the trunk. // Or Deadening the trunk in addition to adding MLV (dampener doesnt block low frequencies, it just stops whatever mat'l its applied to from vibrating). // Find your trunks "breath" ports and close them off // See what you can do do build a larger box // upgrade alternator and or battery bank // Drink snapple // Eat a slim Jim... etc etc.
