Learn more about the differences between prefab subwoofer enclosures and boxes built by the manufacturer to help you decide which is best for your car audio system. In this video we show the differences in build quality, as well as sound quality (specifically SPL). Using our demo car and a TermLab SPL meter, we show your the SPL ratings for a Kicker CVX in a generic ported box and a manufacturer built/loaded box.
While the SPL difference was only about 1 dB difference, there was a difference in the sound quality/clarity that was difficult for the microphones to pick up.
Note!
The SPL results of this experiment are not as dramatic as they would be with other brands, as Kicker subs are designed to maintain consistent performance in a wide variety of enclosure designs. However, the difference in sound quality between the enclosures was dramatic.
Prefab Box = Great for keeping the costs down.
Manfufacturer Box = Gets the most out of the woofer.

I hate when people don't drill pilot holes before putting the screws in. I cringe when I hear the wood splitting as the screws are put in or removed. You can almost definitely avoid this problem by drilling some fkn pilot holes. 20 seconds could save you from destroying a box.

@mkygod 8 лет назад

Why do a bass sweep if you are only measuring peak SPL? You should show a graph of SPL for each hz to show how even or uneven the bass is. That's a big part of sound quality when it comes to subwoofers. If one box is better tuned than the other for that woofer, then this type of data would show that.

CDP135Z yes hmm i have a Question i just bought one of these prefab boxes for a very old brand driver which is said to go down to a maximum of 38hz now if i were to get or create a sub enclosure for it at how many Hz should the enclosure be tuned and how big should the enclosure be roughly

@twinkyunouwantmycreamfilli8297 7 лет назад

Erik Britz, there are a set of measurements that are unique to speakers that are used to formulate an appropriate enclosure. Granted there are also a lot of 12" subs that will work in a generic sized and tuned box, but theres normally a lot more performance you can get out of a sub in a custom box. Ported boxes in particular have to take into account sub sonic filters, cone excursion, wind port velocity, suspension compliance... ect.. Thankfully, most of this is info isnt as complicated as it seems. Google and a good forum board will go along ways.

@sethh8892 6 лет назад

Erik Britz I would suggest to get a better sub, And make a better Box. Go online and look up Subwoofer enclosure calculator. You can find some that are specifically designed for transmission line enclosures, L port enclosures, and basic tube ports. I prefer the alport enclosures because they have less chances to have port noise, And it's easier to tune in in my opinion. Transmission line closures are nice but they take up way too much room and they use a lot more wood.

@Dustin5806 7 лет назад

Me personally I would say they are both prefab boxes here ones just tuned just right for that subwoofer and the other box isn't

@SonicElectronix 11 лет назад

If you bolt the box down from the inside, it will make for a cleaner installation and the box itself will be difficult to remove. On the downside, if you needed to remove the box for any reason, it would require you to remove the subwoofer first, same process that a thief would use. Brackets on the outside make it easy for you and a thief to remove the enclosure. If you drill holes in the box and put screws through, you can always apply a bit of silicon to the top to seal any air leaks.

@SonicElectronix 12 лет назад

Not even if it comes with the subwoofer and is tuned to the optimal frequency of the subwoofer? Unless you're constantly taking the subwoofer out of it's enclosure and putting it back in, the Kicker enclosure is not going to chip or break when used with the subwoofer it was designed for.

@SonicElectronix 11 лет назад

Kicker is good bang for your buck and is great for people trying to stay on a budget, or for people just beginning to upgrade the sound system in their vehicle. There is no "best brand out there", there are simply brands that work better for different people.

@yhiissuchbs 9 лет назад

Essentially, we have a speaker in a box, inside another box (your trunk), connected to a larger box where the listeners are (the passenger cabin). Don't focus on the excellent design of the speaker box and then just ignore the rest of this equation or you may find that no matter how much you have spent - all bass 'disappears' (standing wave) in one position or is muddy/boomy/fatiguing or deafening in another. Both scenarios are wasting money. For prefab boxes: start with the size that fits, buy the best you can can afford - and then... IF you want BOOM, push those boxes into one of the rear corners of the car (put the kicker on the left side so both the vent and the driver are 'corner loaded', like a Bazooka). Keep turning and moving the box around. This may take several tries to get it right. When you find the best spot bolt it down! IF you want QUALITY, throw out the rear seat, probably turn the box around, and then keep moving the box in all directions until you find the spot where it sounds best. - and bolt it down!

A ported enclosure needs to be tuned and will often have more output than a sealed one. A sealed enclosure is great for those who want punchy bass and sound quality as oppose to quantity. In theory, any box can be designed to do anything, but generally a ported enclosure will be a lot louder than a sealed one.

@SonicElectronix 11 лет назад

We sell a variety of different ports on our website. The port on the Kicker box is proprietary to Kicker so we don't have that exact one, but I'm sure you will find what you need. sonicelectronix [dot] com/cat_i664_box-ports.html

@iheartmazda 10 лет назад

Jesus, what kind of test was this? Termlab tells u nothing about SQ. Beside that, I would always work with basscad to simulate a box first (or look up for the manufacturer recommendation) and then check if the prefab box is suitable at all. Tuning frequency means allot, as well as the internal volume of the box does.

@SonicElectronix 11 лет назад

There is no proof that one is louder then the other. An aero port is easier to build and allows you to change your tuning frequency on demand, but it isn't louder than an equal ported enclosure.

@SonicElectronix 12 лет назад

The SPL results of this experiment are not as dramatic as they would be with other brands, as Kicker subs are designed to maintain consistent performance in a wide variety of enclosure designs. However, the difference in sound quality between the enclosures was dramatic.

"However if your concern is getting the most out of your woofer" *THEN GET OUT A DAMN SAW AND MAKE YOUR OWN BOX*

@SonicElectronix 11 лет назад

Yes, you have a good point. It all "depends", which is the problem. One person might blow their woofer, one may not, under the same conditions. What usually happens to a new woofer is the materials, glue, etc are not worn in. As you said, a stiff spider creates more friction, and thus heat, then one that is less resistant to movement. We always prefer to break in a subwoofer, but there are those that argue there is no need. Both sides make great points.

@SonicElectronix 12 лет назад

If the shop knows how to build boxes based on the sub specs (most shops know this or have software to assist them), then you should be fine. Going to a shop that carries JL will just ensure that they have more experience with the woofers and that they should know how to build the best custom box. Either should work, but you can be more confident going to a shop that has experience with the sub.

@SonicElectronix 11 лет назад

If you can hear the car, you need to ground your amplifier, headunit, or speakers more effectively. Make sure you find the chassis of the car, grind the paint down so it is metal, and create a secure connection.

@SonicElectronix 12 лет назад

Custom box for sure. You will get the best SQ out of that woofer and im guessing since you paid good money for that woofer you aren't going to want to skimp out on the box. However, if you are looking for quick bass solution, then a prefab will get you bass faster and without the work of building a box.

I could easily tell the difference between the two. My home (bedroom) amplifier has two speaker outputs - it's an Onkyo A9155 and if I went down to two speakers could I use a 2.2 setup? two speakers and two sub's - is this possible as I read you can use subs to replace speakers. If this would work would a car sub be better to use than a home hifi or are most car ones 4 ohm. I want an 80hm sub to match the other speakers or else it could knacker the amplifier could it not? many thanks, Ben.

@byCDMC 9 лет назад

+Ben Rogers you can connect any speaker to the amp, this include subs to. just watch the ohm's. i have used car subs at home and they work fine. the only problem i have is the neighbors.... having six 10" subs, eight 5.25" mids and eight tweeters in an apartment, its just asking for trouble...

@dj4monie 9 лет назад

So SQ (Sound Quality) is unimportant? BamChuckNorris is right, marketing is flawed. Most manufacturers and prefab boxes are guilty of focusing on one narrow frequency zone which is between 40hz and 60hz. The majority of information in popular music (Top 40, Rap, Country, Rock) is centered here. However that doesn't mean some content doesn't go below the tuning frequency of some mass market products and you'll hear a soft passage or nothing at all. All prefab is quick and dirty, if all you want to do is bump which is fine, then get whatever woofer turns you on and get whatever cheap prefab box you can find. That said, don't get mad when somebody with a properly tuned woofer with less power than you got kicks your arse and spent less money. As with anything in life research and doing things right is more important than instant/quick and short-lived instant gratification.

@Applez00800 10 лет назад

Loudness (SPL) tells you nothing of the sound quality of the enclosure... where's the frequency response graphs of the two enclosure tests?? Sound quality is determined by the 'flatness' of the frequency response and how well the frequency responses of the sub and the other mid and high range speakers mix together. Ideally, the best sound quality would be when all frequencies of sound produce the same SPL.

@jacktumbleweed 11 лет назад

Polyfill doesn't "get more bass out of your subwoofer." It lowers both the Q and Fb parameters, which will tame the response bump in a box that's too small. It doesn't increase low frequency sensitivity, so if anything you'll notice LESS bass in the sub-50Hz zone. If you want to get the most bass possible out of your sub, you have to build a custom box with very precise specs.

i have a single kicker 15 comp. single coil 4 ohm. what would be the best box to get the most bass out of it. also would you prefer a sealed or a ported box? i want alot of bass. its not the only sub that i have in my truck. but the ones are already in a manufacture box.

I buy some stuff from your store but seriously can you please start selling stuff like ssa sells. You will get alot more business. I dont understand why you dont. I could make companys like these 1000s of extra dollars per week with my skills on buying and selling.

@MrMassive15 10 лет назад

Wow dude. U just proved that u don't have to go out and buy an expensive to get good sound out of your subs. Screw that u can build a box for about $30 from stuff at Home Depot

@robertburton8551 11 лет назад

lol this is stupid...it doesent matter if the box is factory or if you made it yourself...what matters is how you make it...if you know what your doing and you do it right you can build a box yourself that will sound better than any factory box

Actually the little level difference where the woofer is mounted is not athetics. It actually serves a very important purpose for SQ harmonics , forgot the scientific article I was reading but JL audio does it forcal Bmw martin logan and so on .

fiberfill is not for more bass more umph.. as he said. It makes the subwoofer think its in a larger enclosure.. so if you have a box that is a little too small you can put some fiberfill into it to "gain" volume.. atleast to the subwoofer.. durrrrrrr

i have a pops 12 rated at 4000 wats and calls for a 2.4 sq. ft. sealed box. id like to do ported. any ideas on specs for a box. i was thinking of going along the lines of a jl w712 spec box . what do you think?

@rbjoseph25 8 лет назад

been looking for the box specs for a Memphis mojo 5 12. I've got about 5 hrs in looks for these specs (air space), and I don't have a defendant answer. manufacture website gives the least info.

@Dougie085 11 лет назад

Actually it looks like MDF, it just looks like a bad or cheap batch of MDF. It's definitely more dense then any particle board I've seen. Also looks like they may of gotten some glue on the edges.

@TheGuyWhoDidUrM0M 12 лет назад

2x15 bro lol it all depends on what subwoofer ur getting,,,,,,if you only want to run a single 15" then i recommend a DC audio level 4 or XL, or the DD 3515, Sundown audio ZV3

Si me decis que la diferencia es 1 dB me quedo con esa, acaso alguien sabe que se gana una competencia a veces con menos?

How the fuck is a CVX gonna only hit 126 in the kicker box, and the L7 I had hit 135 in wedged prefab

@imXenonHD 9 лет назад

Square woofers have more cone area.

@dj4monie 9 лет назад

Power is a factor as well. L7's need a ton of power to produce that kind of SPL. It was unclear how much power they drove these two boxes with. I am going to guess around 200 watts because 100 watts on almost anything will get you to 120db.
