box help

do you know what that 2nd one is tuned to? and would getting a custom box make it sound incredibly better or would a cheap one like that 2nd box be alright? I want the box to be as cheap as possible but I will spend more money if the cheap ones arent going to sound good

IMO a custom made box suited to fit that subwoofer is optimal... the differences you will see are basically some sq, and spl differences, as well as sealing... Most Q-logic boxes do not have problems with Seals, and the R/T's probably do. Also they use Partical board not MDf with R/T... Personally i like OBCON boxes but they are usually tuned above 40hz so your subs would bottom out... i think that the Q-logic is not a bad box for the money IMO. But still a custom made box would be better.

And no i dont know what that box is tuned to the R/T that is.

Remember that subwoofers aren't just plug and play. The box you build for it will have an effect on its frequency response. So yes, money invested in a custom box specifically for your sub will be money well invested.

well, I'm on lake MI, but I'm still like 6 hours or so north of you way up about two hours north of grand rapids.

I'd need the car for a day to do a decent fitted box.

all those prefabs that say they are tuned to a certaing frequency are going to change when you put different drivers in it...its best to have one built for you.......what kind of vehicle is this going in?
