Thats not enough air space for Solo Barics is it?

xspyder85x

i hope it is. hmmm...it should be about 25 liter of space in there. i hope. ill check when i get it covered with material tomarrow.

I was thinking the same thing. If it's close, you can add quilt batting. Fill the enclosure half full of it to make it perform like a larger enclosure. That enclosure only has a little over half the volume of your old box (if that). Your probably not going to get the low frequency extension you did with your good old MDF square box. Check the manual that came with your solos to see what the minimum sealed enclosure volume is. I think impulse did a pretty good job of getting the volume right on his box. You could try extending the bottom of the box to a point (angled at 22.5 to 30 degrees?) and pulling your rings forward more to increase the volume. Make the most of the versatility of fiberglass by adding some curves and/or angles to your foundation pieces.

No if you have Solo Barics L7's. Thats not enough space. Its gonna bust through if enough watts are out to it. I called Kicker when i made my box. They told me i needed about 1 foot of air space and to fiberglass the inside of the box to make sure.

i think you need about 3 cubic feet per solo baric

JCswoosher2

It will be close clearign the barrell on the sub in that box.

Bumpin Balt

That's if your box is ported. A sealed enclosure should be around 1 cubic foot per sub.

Either way man. In my experience with my Solo Barics, You might want to push it out a bit before its to late.
