If you want lower notes, lower tuning by make a bigger box, longer port NOT port size you want to shrink that and add more cone area. Bigger boxes have more output on less power, I would get an sa 15 rebuild a new bigger box and add more power like an aq 1200 which is on sale right now too. What vehicle and whats the tuning on your box now and where to you peak at? Because if you want lows its all dependent on your vehicles cabin and adjusting your resonance accordingly. Ive built boxes tuned to 28hz that peak at 53hz it all depends.

well i have had a pre-fab box from a local dealer (could of made it himself) since i first got my system, just your regular ported square box.
you gave me that ram-designs site before i think? sent email to one of them but never got one back
i would like a nice project though i never built one.
not wanting to buy whole new system, new box with current, or new sub/box
Pontiac G6 4 door, i have sound dampened the trunk a little, didnt help as much as i thought.

any tips would be awesome
