<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQTy2XAvsYA&t=95">1:35</a> is wrong. Those kind of subs are made for (as you mention in the video) high Sound Pressure Levels, and often have a Resonant frequency of about 35hz. There are better options like home theater subs to get low easily. The 10“ dayton reference woofer for example has a frs of 25hz, which will make it much easier to tune it lower.<br><br>And also, you don‘t need such high power levels (like 500 or 1000W). What‘s more important is the efficiency of the sub at 1W. From there on, you can multiply the power for a 3dB increase. <br>E.g.: 91dB/W/m -> 1W = 91dB, 2W = 94dB, 4W = 97dB…. 256W=115dB.<br><br>E.g. 84dB/W/m => 1W=84dB, 2W=87dB… 1024W=114dB

I followed the instructions in this video, and made a home sub for Sundown audio x12 v.3. Plays clean at low volumes, hard and deep at high volumes😏 and has a very good freuqnecy response. and looks alright too. Recommended

Your video is a life saver, made a 25hz box, for my 1500w woofer and it plays lows so good. Thank you for this video man!
