sub enclosure again!

[dubbin it up]

This is my scenario. I think i made a error when calculating. I actually
have 1.7ft^3 of space in the box now. i have 2 drivers that require .67ft^3
recommended. so that comes to approx. 1.25ft^3 for both. The reason i
started this post was the subs don't seem to sound right. That's why i
thought filling the box my solve my problem. But i don't think that .4ft^3
will make that much difference or am i wrong???

Probably not make much of a difference considering the motor
displacement of the driver, etc. This is a sealed enclosure eh?
There's MUCH more fudge factor in sealed designs than in vented. Make
sure the enclosure is WELL sealed, as in DAMN air tight. The larger
enclosure will offer a bit more low end extension in sacrifice for a
boomier not as "tight" sound. The proper terminology is "Q" for this
measurement.

Plot out the intended and what you have now in WinISD and I doubt you
will see much of a difference. You could always load it up with scrap
2X4 well adhered to the inside of the enclosure. Do know your driver's
motor displacement though if you are going for gnat's ass accuracy.
