3 cubic foot box for a SINGLE 10 inch sub? 

i was where u are a few years ago, all i can say man is if u like fucking with things endlessly start building high ratio 4th order boxes, small sealed, large ported section. i built one for my home audio setup and it is tuned around 18 hz, i have a single cheap polk audio 10 in it, as someone else said loudspeaker cookbook, and old magazines and interviews from old school spl competitors they used alot of old school tricks to get dbs instead of insane power and extreme subwoofers. i got to say by the way try using mdf on your next box they always seam to be twice as dead compared to birch

You should have a really low FS with a box that big like 24 hurts or something ridiculous

@meekenzzii- To limit X Max from low freq., just turn up your subsonic filter, on your amplifier, if it has 1? Its usually between (10Hz to 50Hz) on most amps. Just turn up the subsonic filters freq. Limiter, on that super low freq. Song you played, until your woofer stops making weird noises. Also there is something most people call it impedance rise. Its really just how a speakers impedance changes per freq., it plays. Like you are wired to 1 ohm, @ rest=not while music is playing. But as the woofer is playing, its normal to have 2x to 6x the wired to impedance= much less power than you think is really going to your speakers. Your 1 ohm woofer is prob. seeing a 2 ohm to 6 ohm load while playing= 2 ohm, to 6 ohm power from your amp. So yes this 3 cu. Ft. Sealed box is way too big for that 1-10", but its perfect for 3-10" sealed. I would just make 3-10" holes up top, (block off the current hole, as having the woofers on the same baffle is better), then flip the box backwards with the 3-10" sealed facing the way you have now. They should perform how you like, much better then now.

Already knew you were going to bottom out those subs when you said 3 cuft. I've ran those subs before and they are just not very good subs. Most 10s sealed want around .5 cuft sealed when you go larger the bottom end range does extend but cone control gets worse the bigger the box. Need a high XMAX low FS sub made for sealed boxes. With that box you have now you can still use it. Get a better 12 inch sub and use it as a 4th order. Sealed side would be around 1.2 cuft and ported 1.8 for most subs. Would be a flatter response. If you want a box that is boomy on the low end go with a 10 that's designed for really low bass like a sundown X. It likes .4 cuft on sealed side and 2.4 on ported side. That will give ya around a 6:1 ratio. It will be really loud in your ported frequency range. Won't be a flat response at all. If you want flat go with a bigger sub or fiddle with a 6th order. But that sub is a limitation. Ive had several of em.

Man put two more 10’s on same plan of that box. And enjoy.

kicker's specs are very weird. other manufacturers dont say 200watt rms x2, they simply would say 400 watt rms lol. always use all 4 terminals on a dual coil...

Port it to 30hz. Cubes. That will be epic.

I've got it at one ohm, there's no way anything else would sound good. Actually 2 ohms or more sound better. Ported enclosure act exactly like a sealed box above tuning unless you have to small of a port. Then it acts like a leaky sealed box.

I've got a 3.5 cube box built for my element tuned to 34hz 6" aero port. 4 8's, it gets down. Also, you mentioned mid bass.... I'm using the stock 6.5" sub for mid bass. Get a dsp, change your life.

You need to read on infinite baffle. It's usually 2x VAS...

Loudspeaker design cookbook. Get you one and read.

I have always wanted to do that. Specially with the Dayto Audio 10 inch woofer they have it says 4 cubic feet max.

3k views I 11 days. That's impressive. Yes RobotUnderground. I view his channel as well. I just listened to your entire video. Not bad. I did cringe when you stated you wanted SQ. And didn't care if it was flat, as long as it sounds good!"....then you proceed to CRANK UP the volume to SPL levels. Then you did mention more subs. That's the ticket! If you want SQ "get more drivers"! So many people who are learning want 1 sub to do it all. That's why I initially cringed. Focus on this sort of video making. 3k views is impressive!

I had an alpine type r 15 in a 3.5ft² in the back of an element and it slammed. That stupid wire mesh on the overhead box got annoying.

Keep going bro :)

My buddy gave me a set of these exact same speakers the 10 inch kicker Comp CVR and they had spider sag so bad that you couldn't even play them they just flopped back and forth

The bigger your sealed box the lower the fs of the sub will be and the lower the sub will be able to play again the bigger the sealed box

Hey bro, great video. I did the same thing that you did but I didn't have the app I just had the numbers from my subwoofer CT sounds strato 10 D2 I made my own box with a 4-in port 17 1/2 Inside the Box .. L26/W12 1/2/H13 my first box am I subwoofer is pounding

I wouldn't say sealed is harder on sub,if it was in correct volume,around 1cf,it would have better control and power handling,but u give up efficiency and low end extension.sealed these days are only used in tight spaces,I still prefer the overall sound of sealed,just takes more power and more subs,mo $$$$😂😂😂

Keep the content coming bro 🤙

Best way I got a 12 in 4

What's the specs on the largest SPL box for that single sub?.. I did the SPL box to a kicker solo x10 and it was 6 cubic feet....😊

you are absolutely wrong sealed boxes are best for subwoofers for control and the thang you failed to realize is a larger box means less power handling and same thing with a ported box also cool video and all but if you have no clear idea what your talking about then dont mention it because thats not how that works a sealed box is best for a sub woofer thats designed to use that style of box but your box is far two large for any 10 out there hell that would be a prefect box for 12 s ported sooo ps i build boxs my self and i have reconned and rebuilt subs my selfs hell im in the process of building a custom 18 form a hcca motor so i mean you'll learn but its gonna take you a while

What was that second song called ?

Do people understand what the WORD CUBED MEANS .... 3 cubic feet is 3x3x3....not 3x1x1....

quit using plywood for sub boxes. MDF not particle board. Plywood is porous and flexes too much.
