Alright,
laugh if you will i care not
I have a kove armageddon z series sub. Box was designed for an earthquake dbxr12, which i sold and just stuck the kove in. The current enclosure is 2.42 cubes with a 2.50 wide inch port 14 inches high 37 inches long.


What im curious about is the Kove website and parts express describe a box of 2.75 cubes with two radically different ports
Parts express says
"Recommended enclosure designs include a 2.75 cu. ft. vented box with a 5" diameter port 13" long for outrageous output levels"
Kove calls for
12x1.75x18 Port Kove SPecs

Now my goal is to get a little bit more spl out of the enclosure *which is powered by a mtx 1501d*, without sacrificing much sq. MOre sql basically. Can anyone see a 5 inch port being THAT much gain from what i have now?

Comments ideas?

this is one that i came across and its got me curious. My current port is 2.5, that appears to be the above listed specs...

 

so what is your box currently tuned to?

 

my current enclosure is tuned to 32 hz.
cant believe I left that part out. Its got VERY good output but if I can get more
Thats the crossroad im at now. Currently its able to drown out my front staging if i really get obnoxious, and Im really curious if i can extract more noise.

 

tune it a bit higher...to 40 or somewhere in that ball park. my old brahma box was tuned to 28 hz, not really for spl, but for a bit more sq. the guy that bought the brahma from me had it in a box tuned higher. output didn't go as deep, but it was noticebly louder.

 

Thats just means you need a better frontstage.

 

working on it,
got the bigger amp already and im pretty much looking for something that was comparable to my diamonds. I told you thats next, the radio was a sligh detour.
