I had in my basement and old sub box a friend gave me long time ago to settle a debt, the box has 2 12” DEI pro drivers in it , these where pretty decent dual VC subs in 2000 able to handle good power.


I completely forgot about it until a few days ago. It was well stored in a controlled temperature environment. So today I tried it in the car with only about 125W and not bad not bad.

Question I have is this;
Since the box seems to be made out of chipboard and is kind of loose at the seams also it’s a very small box I evaluate that each speaker has about 0.7 Cubic inch of air. Would redoing a slightly bigger box (1 cubic inch/speaker) out of MDF make a big difference?

Thanks

u would have to resin it to get it to work correctly.

Yes, you would see a difference between mdf and low density particle board, especailly if you ported the box correctly

And the subs response would be better with that lil bit of extra air.

yea more than 1 cubic inch anyway

Thanks guys
I decided not to bother and got some Focal subs

You Won't be sorry with the Focal subs. Which models did you get?
