Sup Guys ... I have an MTX thunder 4500 12" sub. I`m lookin to install in my max. However... I dunno if I should put it in a tube or a box. Anyone know which is better and why ??

 

Box definitely. I used to have a Bazooka tube about 7 years ago (I've come a long way I know). As for why it's better, I think it has to do with the fact that a box is wooden and therefore better with acoustics. Also, I don't see how a round driver can be in a tube.

 

you can put it in tube if you want and somehow make it into a transmission line enclosure type thing. or just cap it off the other end and it'll be a sealed enclosure.

that said i haven't seen anyone using a tube for an enclosure in person. i've seen pictures of people using long PVC pipes to make an transmission line setup. pretty interesting.

 

box most def. heard the 4500 sub in a ported box and sounded pretty good.
