Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio Sub box help!!

I got a Fosagte 12" HX2, and an empty sealed 1.75 cu box...
now recommend is 1.25 sealed...
would this sound crappy??

OR

recommened ported is 1.75-2.25...
should i attempt to port this box???
would this sound better??

Thanks

the bigger box will probably be a little more boomy. You wont need as much power to the sub either so you may save a few bucks on the amp. If you already have the sub and box, you may as well install and if it doesn't sound to your likeing, it is a 5 minute job to swap the box or port the box

A bigger box should be less boomy and have better low end response, better transients, and be more effecient. Try it out and if you don't like the sound, use phone books or 2x4s to take up space to see if you prefer the sound. If so, change the size.
