Apparently sealed is harder to drive than ported. Maybe it is because I said I wanted it sealed is why he suggested 500. I am not sure what level I will have it playing as I have no experience with subs. I wanted to go with the 300 Watt amp, but I was told I would be safer with the 500 watt amp. So I sort of figured an 8 or 10 would not be enough for me. AdelaaR: I have not been around many systems with a sub to know what to expect. Quality of the sound is more important overall to me. Now when I do this the F3 comes out to 21.19Hz, which seems good? Again I do not need to crack plaster, just looking to blend the sub into my nice front towers. I was told to put this at "6 dB/octave rise" and the +3 dB Frequency 60Hz. There is something in Bassbox Pro under "Room Accoustics" where you can specify the "Low Frequency Rise". I was told this was not what I would be getting in a typical room. I don't know much about F3 responses, but this seemed high, so I called the P/E guys. Would anyone care to comment on this?īassbox Pro is saying that the F3 response for the suggested 1.09 cu.ft box is 65.78Hz. I was going to split the difference and go for a 1.5 cu.ft box instead of 1 like bassbox pro suggests. I will be driving this sub with a 500 watt BASH plate amp. I'm all for increasing the box size if it will indeed let the amp work easier and not sacrificing sound quality. I was told it would be easier on the amp, while not sacrificing much if anything on sound quality. Talking to the P/E guys, I have been told that I could probably safely double this size. Plugging the specs into Bassbox Pro, specifying a sealed box, minimal fill, high fidelity, it has suggested a 1.092 cu.ft box (basically about a 15 x 15 x 15in box with the thickness of my MDF taken into consideration). I am going to attempt to build my own subwoofer and have decided to go with the Dayton RSS315HO-4 12" Reference HO Subwoofer.
