Hello,
I have a JBL 15" GT series 1000 watt sub that i'm putting in my xB. My friend says the box needs to be 16"x16x16 but this will take up over half my cargo space. Does anyone no if a smaller box will still pound? Yes I know I shouldn't use a sub that big but I had it in my basement new in box and have no cash for anything else. Any input would be appreciated.

Peace
J

 

Yea it will "pound" but it will sound like dog poo knocking on your windows. You have to realize with a sub that big your going to need a large box.

Just out of curiousity why did you get a 15 to begin with?

 

b4 I had the scion I owned an escort and that thing had plenty of room and i just didn't get around to putting it in there.

 

wrong forum....

I say if you are going to do it do it properly to gain the most out of the sub. No use trying to cut corners just to cause poor quality sound.

 

yeah.....use recommended enclosure volume.....it should say what volume you need in the owners manual that's with the sub...

 

dude... it should sound good... just put a good size amp to power it... and the box is not as masive as you think it would be... how I know?,,,, I have one...

 

lol Im curious what you consider a massive box. Thats pretty massive if you ask me. When it takes up your trunk thats massive

 

it was bigger... I tried a sealed box, but 4 me nothing beats the bass of a ported box... my thought.... and you are right... prob the damn thing grew on me and I dont see it as big as you would.

 

Different sub that what you show there in the xB, but it will sound nice and deep, but save your room, just do a large sealed box, and stay away from bandpass
