| 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....

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.

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

Was for an SUV.
I'll see if I can dig up pics.

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.
