JL 10W6V2-D4 enclosure size?
 
JL recommends .625 cubes sealed/.75 cubes vented, tuned to 38hz. Has anyone tried the vented box? Sounds small to me. Thanks.

That is pretty small. The last box I made for a JL was for a 12W6 V2 and I remember it was about 1.25 cubic feet. .75 is pretty tiny but if thats what they recommend....

The Dude 05-28-2009 06:11 PM
thanks man. I emailed them about it, and someone from JL said that it was the one that they recommend..... only one way to find out, I guess, unless someone with box software can run the numbers for me....

I would try making a .75' box, sealed. Check it out. Add a port afterward if you'd like.

Actually W6's take a surprisingly small enclosure space, sound way better with a smaller enclosure.

Actually when you buy them preloaded in a JL Audio Box, you will see that their box specs are actually smaller than the subwoofer recommended specs.

^^ Thanks for the help gents, appreciate that. Good point Keith, that would be the way to go. 400 watts rms to this sub be okay to run it with?

400 watts minimum! More is betterer!

The Dude 05-29-2009 08:29 PM
Gotcha, thanks. Might be swinging by tomorrow to bug you guys for a Sony cage, if you have it....... BTW it is not going in my vehicle, just to avoid being razzed..... ;)

I've done them in smaller vented enclosures. Sound good. Very tight.

I don't remember exactly because this was years back. But I seem to remember being in a 0.6 cu enclosure for the 12W6V2.

Was for an SUV.

I'll see if I can dig up pics.

The Dude 06-08-2009 05:36 AM
good deal, thanks.

id build it ported with a singe 4" aeroport and around 1.4 cubic feet then shrink it bit by bit and retune your port as desired until you get it where you want it.

The Dude 06-12-2009 06:08 PM
Thanks Wagonized, appreciate that! So start with the Aeroport at full length and shorten it until it sounds best? Did I read your sig. corrctly, twelve 18" subs in the Malibu?????? Damn......
