Love the honesty. Kinda weird for tuning to be off by 10Hz or more. The engineers/designers at Q Bomb needs to see this video. Good content 👍
Thanks man! I've been enjoying your videos for years. Keep up the good work.
@@DIYAudioGuy Thanks for the compliment🤟 I clicked your notification bell quite some time ago 😉
@@BudgetBassHead When we get the live stream going again in a few weeks we need to have you on!
@@DIYAudioGuy sounds good. Keep me posted👍
Whoever uploaded the listing on the website is either dyslexic or made a simple human mistake. 34Hz;43Hz
As I stated before this video dropped, the QBombs are good budget SPL oriented prefab boxes.
Can you do better with a custom built box? Of course but, but if you need something cheap and easy or catch these on sale, it's hard to imagine a better boom for your buck.
For sure.
Love your commitment and honesty, great videos, please keep the content coming.
You and Mark from CAF are like my favorite audio youtubers. Crazy stuff
That's probably the best compliment that somebody could give me. Thanks.
I love your honesty, and totally agree with everything you said in this video. In my experience the heavier and stronger your box is the better it'll perform and longer it'll last. I haven't heard much about d4s prefabs but I can't say I wouldn't enjoy seeing an honest un-biased review of it. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to enlighten us all. Take care and stay healthy
Absolutely.
I have a dual 10 d4s prefab box. I had pair of american bass xr in it and they banged hard. I tried to put a pair of soundqubed and they sound trap but they require more space
Thanks for being honest, that is appreciated. I also felt the same when my son first bought one of these boxes, but after listening to it I quickly changed my mind. Audio has come a long way in the last 20 years the names I once held in high prestige I have learned to question lately. These up and coming brands are beating the brakes off of them and doing it for a fraction of the cost. Skar Audio is one of the company’s I have found that is very impressive for the price.
It's amazing how much the market has changed.
I was really impressed in in the qbomb myself I have had probably 6 different style ones. Great price and decent sound for dirt cheap prefab box. I do appreciate that you take the time to read all are comments and try things out that we like see.
For sure man. Got to read the comments. How else am I going to know what people want to see?
Those six times you tried it on same woofers you could have got a custom one time built box with better results
Great you to point people in the right direction who really don't want to go custom. Love the show and keep doing what you doing.. 👍👍👍
I'm having the time of my life, as long as people keep watching I'm going to keep filming!
I have the exact box, and it actually sounds great!
I'm glad you are enjoying it. I was pleasantly surprised.
Good honest review... Now you just need to build a bass van like EXO and Soundman 😂
One day, one day!
Damn one day is tomorrow go buy the smallest van you can find Sound deadening that sucker put two 18's in the right kind of enclosure and Exo and Sandman will be worried 😟
@@dustinlee4566 👍👍👍👍
@Bob 11 unfortunately I had to sell that van. Just was not in the cards to keep it and converted to a bass van.
For those whom not aware of the box tuning, one can not tune a box without a sub to tune it to.
Not most are not aware that Qpower offers their own in house subs for which they tune these boxes from.
Most subs will play well in these and other enclosures but the tuning will very due the specs of each sub being used.
It's great to see these prefab tested and look forward to seeing more of them tested in the future
Yessss please do the profab box from D4S! Great video 👍🏼
I'm hoping I'll be able to!
I own 2 of them and I love them!
I picked up this box with an Audiopipe 4 stack 12", pushed by a JP23 and I'm very happy with my start up system. Thanks for the reassurance on the box.
Awesome!
Awesome video. I'm not changing my PVC T-Line enclosure anytime soon, but good to know what that Q-bomb is expected to do.
T-lines are a ton of fun!
Much much respect for being 100% honest
It's the only way to be.
I had that exact box on my first system with an American bass 12 I loved it now I have their dual 12 box tuned at 30Hz I love it
Yes, I was really impressed by this box.
If I can get 60,000 views on this video I will review a D4S Enclosure: lddy.no/1073r
Great review. Thank you, I've been thinking of getting one for two 10's. Soundstream tarantula.
Glad to help.
I loved the look of mine for two kicker r 12's. Sounded horrible on lower end frequencies. So I added some poly batting sheets to inside walls with spray adhesive. Sounded awesome after that.
I am glad that helped!
Best box for the price, I have the same box with a 12" skar SDR-12 d2, @ 1ohm. I think the coating/logo/etching is cool, better than the boring rat fur carpet style, but no one looks in my trunk. Great Video
Awesome!
If you ever want to upgrade from the SDR, I would HIGHLY recommend looking at the DDX-12.
SUPER SUPER Efficient sub! Get's REALLY loud on very little power, but they can handle 1500w~ RMS too.
I feel like the audio community get so caught up on giving a stink eye towards the existence of prefab boxes that we forget that it’s not outside the realm of possibilities for a company make good quality boxes. Plus I feel like we judge prefabs too harshly without realizing that they’re not trying to be the best or win in any SPL lanes, they’re just being there for the newcomers who may have a curiosity or don’t really mind having something like these. After all, it’s like a wise basshead always says: bass is bass! 🔊🔊
Have the infinity primus 1270b s .. they have blown me away for plug and play.. couldn't be happier especially at the cost of the woofer alone. Gems
...yeah, let's not CONFUSE anybody with whether it's a WELL MADE, or that it is GENERICALLY made = one size fits all.. keep everyone arguing over apples and oranges, so that no one realizes any Sub Driver will ALWAYS perform better in an enclosure MADE exclusively for IT.
Ready Made enclosures, are like Fat Chicks in Spandex.... might fit, but never with the desired results..
I’m a Basshead and Bass is Bass is not true , prefab suck bad , I want bass but good deep bass better than high tune , some love high bass notes , I love deep notes
@@LTVX2 lmao 😂
I like having a box because it’s easy to bring in and out
Justin great video . you should test these boxes in a van. love your content.
Best van for the win.
Awesome video. Thank you for testing this. Does your 1.8cft. include for sub basket displacement? Have you thought about inverting the sub to maximize you cubic footage? 😊
That's just the internal dimensions. The amount that you lose will depend on the sub, the amount that you gain from inverting it will also depend on the sub.
Dude epic videos I love these keep it up! I’d love to see the pro fab box! I’d love to see skars bed liner box compared. I just bought the other skar box on your review I love it!
Also take a look at the harmony box it’s only $75!
Glad you liked it, I will have to give that harmony box a look.
I just finished designing my dual bass reflex box and can't wait to put it together! Maybe you can do a vid on those.
My video to do list just keeps getting longer!
Once in a "Blue Moon" A cheap box with a slice of orange will do. Keep up the great content.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve had a Q Bomb 15” sealed box for almost 2 yrs. and it still performing really well
Awesome!
I enjoy seeing your videos... keep it up with the good content. Regards.
I enjoy seeing your comments! Thank you.
Great video I have a duel 10" Q bomb for my L7 Q class subs and I have been questioning if I need to replace my box.
I'm a big believer in the value of a custom box, but if you're happy with what you have there's really no reason to change.
You got me sold on buying one of these for my 10 inch JL audio.
If you're going to go with JL I would recommend having a shop build a custom box.
Oh heck yah please get one of those D4S boxes to test out!
Share the video, I need about 50,000 views before I can justify buying one to review.
Greaat review. Really loving your channel. I'm glad I've subscribed 👍👍you put out great reviews and knowledge. Just a little different then the other guys. (Not dissing anyone)
If everybody was exactly the same then TH-cam would be a boring place.
@@DIYAudioGuy yea true. Very true
GREEAATTTT VIDEOOOO !!! Have you ever used a RhinoBox before ? Any opinion on them? If you can a video would be perfect ! Much love and support !!!!
I've never used one of those. There are a ton of prefab enclosures out there. If I keep getting views and support from my audience I might be able to review more of them.
Thank you for the video and much valuable info here. My uncle once said a single phone call is worth hundreds to a person to pay for the info gained. Marconi.
Thanks
I have a Q bomb box with 2 15inch DS 18 EXL (2500 watts) and I love it.
I have the same Qbomb box in my truck with a Walmart power acoustik gothic 12 with the matching rzr 2500d. For a budget setup it really impresses me it hits cleanly down to 28hz with some rebassed music I’ve played.for a single 12 that cost me about $80 I can’t complain.
That's awesome.
I'm doing a build and install today for 1 of them exact trucks
Just got to keep the box dry. That rear brake light tends to leak. th-cam.com/video/7UNgvvfYuUI/w-d-xo.html
I highly recommend buying a different box. When I connected my 12 sub it shook a lot like you said and after a month or 2 the bottom of the front side cracked all the way through. Sounded like complete garbage after that. It’s a good temporary box, but don’t get it if you plan on keeping it for more than a few months.
I would rather build my own.
Is been two years since you post this but man i have a Q bomb with 2.4 cubic and i have it with a menphis mojo 1212 that is recommended 2.6 cubic feet of air and let me tell you this things sound amazing. They have a formula and is working
Great video appreciated! Could you fiberglass resin the inside to get more solid sound
II honestly don't know, but I don't suspect it would help.
Really great video !! 👍
The Notorious QBomb box.
The bigger slot port box is the only I used to run with my P3s & Type Rs when I was a teenager, they are quite a bit bigger and are tuned a lot lower.
They are very popular enclosures.
Nicely done! In my experience, the Placement of the port in the enclosure, as well as the location you fire the port in the vehicle, can dramatically make the effective tuning of the enclosure play a lot differently in the vehicle and make your overall vehicle response with the subwoofer extremely different than any modeling software can predict. unless you are a wiz at using horzrep 🤓. But also something to consider is the depth behind the sub to the back wall in conjunction with the port being on the same shared back wall can affect the effective tuning as well. But I’m probably preaching the the choir for the most part. Great video though awesome content!!
I am not an expert on port loading. I guess I need to try some different port configurations and see what I can learn.
@@DIYAudioGuy the only program that takes into consideration the box dimensions and room (cabin) dimensions with regard to measurements from said room walls and the enclosures faces/or sides is hornsrep. But it’s very intricate and touchy. But im with you, I’m no expert either. What I think I’ve learned through all my builds has definitely help solidify the math and physics that i come up with when modeling. More importantly, what I’ve learned the most is that when I think I’ve got it all figured out and taken into consideration everything I can to predict the modeling the best, I unknowingly forget something and have to tell myself that I just didn’t get enough info and that’s why the response is not what I wanted it to be. Instead of just saying it’s a mystery. There’s always some type of math or physics behind why it does what it does, and I’m just trying to figure out all those things in my journey!!
I’m going to need one of those digital tape measures
There is a link to one in the description.
Great info and shirt change.
I was wondering if anybody would notice.
I have had 4 Q-bomb boxes and they really sounded great.... I am wanting to put in a 18 inch sub in a 7 cubic feet box in my 2003 Dodge Dakota quad cab on a Taramp 5K and zero gauge wire
That's going to be loud! Which subwoofer do you plan on using?
@@DIYAudioGuy Which subwoofer do you recommend to use
I’ve got 2 qbomb single 12 boxes in my mustang, and they do pretty well, plenty of clarity and enough bass to feel it in your chest
Awesome, what subs are you running?
@@DIYAudioGuy I’m running 2 kicker comp r 12s on 2 ohms at 1000rms on a mono block amp
Nice video! To be honest most prefabs are fine when you have low power or a sub that calls for a small box, Most suffer from inadequate port area for the power being used in the application
Absolutely. Amplifier power is cheap so people tend to just throw power at their problems.
great video, I think it will be good if one day you try the Rockville RQ12TB Single 12" Triangle Ported box, it is 2.2 cubic feet and 35 hz tuning frequency, it seems to have the same build quality as the box in this video
Sounds like a good box.
I have 3 Qbomb boxes..8, 10 and a 10 box with the horn type/front port.....i have to say....it sounds amazing....the only draw back is the cheap mdf material tho.... about 3 to 4 times removal of the sub and the screw port are done with
I always keep an eye out for used to gear on Facebook marketplace and craigslist and every used QBomb box is completely trashed. I think people don't drill out their screw holes.
I bought one of these QBOMB enclosures for a 15" subwoofer a while back and it had a slot port on the side. The cutout for the sub was plenty big and the box did sound very hollow so I just added some bracing to the inside and it sounded fantastic for a Skar EVL 15 with 1500 watts going to it. I did the math on it and it was a 3cuft tuned to about 33hz. I would say if you don't know how to build a box and the specs are close to what your sub calls for, get it. Just add a couple of thick dowels going from one walls across to the opposite wall inside. That will definitely eliminate that hallow sound
A lot of people just go with a pre-fab box. The trick is to make sure you get one that matches with the sub, and avoid the cheap ones.
As a box builder, I have seen many prefabs...... some sound good but its the life of the box. most dont last very long. Ive been building for 8 years and never
I hear you, I think there's a lot of unscientific speculation in the world of box building.
As far as I know the kerfed port is like an flared port--It reduces port noise. So it's really only useful if you're in a situation where you can't make the port opening big enough.
I'm beginning to rethink the logic of putting a corner 45 in all four corners of a box. The corner should be the strongest point. So you're reinforcing the strongest point in the enclosure. I suppose if you have air leaks in my help. But if they were truly helpful then you would put a corner of 45 and literally every corner of the box instead of just four of them.
@@DIYAudioGuy True. But I do put 45s in all corners of my boxes plus needed bracing. I think of it as extra insurance. Go check out my FB or IG pages. 415Audio. Thank you!
I have this box with a meso 12 running a skar rp1500.1 @ 1ohm . Changed the port to 3"x4.5" to get the tuning down to 35 hz and its violent. Steering wheel shaking bass.
That is the best kind of bass.
It did well because 1..it has a square port compared to a slot port allowing more air flow and 2...the port is straight compared to L again more air flow...
That's interesting. Do you know of anybody that has tested that?
I’ve loved this box. Sounds awesome with my Dayton Ho model 12.
Dayton HO is a great driver!
@@DIYAudioGuy if you have one try it out. I also have the 15 in a ported box tuned at 23hz. It’s an Amazon box made by harmony. I used a Dayton SP1000 Plate amp. It hits the low lows…. Musical and great for movies
My girl wanted a sub so put I skar in a qbomb.... I was actually impressed.. considering I'm used to handmade cust tuned boxes... Also not looking to bad after paint. At least I didn't have to slam you for being a hater. 😂
Of the three boxes I've tested so far is the best one. It's also the most expensive!
@@DIYAudioGuy your information is amazing btw
Liked and subbed just got the dual 12v I'll comment in the future my thoughts lol
Awesome.
Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
the only qbomb i'd use are the hp's. they're large (the dual 12 is 2 cuft per sub) they're tuned low (30 hz), and the port is flared. i got the 10" version and planned to use it temporarily, but it ended up being permanent for that installation. first prefab i was ever impressed by. they do need some bracing though, in a bad way. i had a set of k9's in it and they where almost tearing it apart. i think the bed liner was the only thing keeping it from exploding because it did eventually develop a leak.
WOW!
Good for the price. Can't hate on that. Better then a lot of other brands.
Nice review sir.
Thank you sir.
I just got an Sonix enclosure stage two. Seems decent for the price.
Yea, those are solid.
I have owned a ported q bomb box for a 15” sub. 3.25 cu ft. Input a Rockford Fosgate P315 in it. I was amazed. The only 15 I’ve ever had. I had a ported dual 10” q bomb box for under the seat on my Ram that literally came apart. I’ve seen several come apart. The best prefab box I’ve used was a ported box from bassworx and I put a single JL 12w6v2 in it. I can’t imagine that sub in another box. Prefab- win some lose some. I’m guessing we get lucky sometimes not only with craftsmanship but also size.
Any chance that under seat box got wet? I have a ram and the third brake light tends to leak. My previous prefab box did not fall apart, but it did get a little nasty. th-cam.com/video/7UNgvvfYuUI/w-d-xo.html
@@DIYAudioGuy no, I used 2 JL 10w6 subs though. From the quality of most of the prefab Ram boxes I’m sure they’re meant for some 150 watt subs- not 600 watt subs. From all that I’ve seen separate, the subs being used were 500 watts each and up. Guessing too much force exerted on the boxes. They came apart in the middle, separating the top and bottom. Looked fine from the outside, but when bass hit it would come apart and make a slapping sound.
@@DIYAudioGuy I haven’t had the third brake light leak yet but I do have the front driver sore windshield leak. It’s awesome. Even better since almost nothing that breaks on this truck seems to be covered under the factory warranty. I’ll never buy another Ram.
@@superchile9640 My ram is 17 years old. It's definitely had it's issues. I'm probably going to drive it until the wheels fall off.
@@DIYAudioGuy I will too. Sucks that it costs about $1/ mile to repair! Lol
Told ya better than people expect 😁
Yep.
I would like to see you test the Harmony Audio Box
Nice honest review. I still would rather make one but it’s next to impossible being in a condominium. In my case I had a shop make mine and I love it. As far as Qbomb goes, I guess this one isn’t that bad. I’d avoid the dual box with the 4 triangle ports not because of how it looks but because it’s tuned to 52hz I think
That's the danger of doing a review like this, people might see it and think that QBomb is OK, I only said this one is okay.
Do you mind me asking how much you paid the shop for your box?
I actually bought the skar audio box that is 2 cubic feet and it sounds pretty good I was leaning towards q bomb box but liked the look of the skar better I have a kicker comp vr 12 but I am going to a skar vxf 12 now so will be building a custom box later
I've got a video on the Skar box. It definitely looks better, and it's every bit as good of a box. th-cam.com/video/H3quYaP2Bt4/w-d-xo.html
the scar boxes are very impressive i have become a scar prefab fan actually 😁 they do the best especially customer service!! cant be beat only down side i've encountered cant install rockford fosgates p3's and i am dying to chop em so they will swallow a pair 😎
Fun video Justin! Box looks built well. I like it because it has a more pro audio look. Just a different look. What's the sub at the end? Looks like a CT Sounds. They do white everything.
That's going to be September's surprise (or you can just look at the links in the description).
@@DIYAudioGuy I always forget to look at the description. Tend to go there when looking for a purchase/affiliate link
You’re gonna run outta room quickly testing all these pre fabs! Great video
I ran out of room a long time ago!
Give aways!!!! 😆
The best prefab box I've ever owned is the box that comes with the skar audio evl 5000 watt package. They don't sell it independently. I currently have 2 vfx 12s in it and it bangs hard.
Awesome!
Sounds like once you corrected the port length to include it using the back of the box and after woofer displacement it landed at a good tuning.
Yep.
Great video Justin 👍🏼 I appreciate the honesty even with stating that you were not a fan at all of these enclosures. Something big to consider on these is the lack of strength becomes more of an issue when people install much beefier drivers into these single baffle jobs. I’ll end the comment with saying I’d much rather see folks running the D4S Profab prefabs
I still don't like the box.
I had a D4S profab and I thought it was a good box. They even tell you they aren't recommend over a certain power level
@@beardedforlife3740 amplifier power is cheap so people tend to just throw power at their problems. Not much thought into the problems that that might cause.
@@DIYAudioGuy I totally agree with that. Like people that throw 2 or 3 batteries at their system and not realize that their stock alt is really the issue. The profab I had from D4S was plenty for the power I was asking for. My next setup is going to be in a custom box not only because they are stronger, but that you can build it exactly how you want it
Those thing's are expensive though even more than the Bobby gately boxes.
This proves my point. There is NO WAY to predetermine port tuning without knowing the parameters of the driver going in it. Hope people see this video as proof.
I've almost reached that conclusion, everything I've designed, all the math that I've done. The DATS always says it's tuned lower than estimated.
@@DIYAudioGuy I'm sure. Design and build a box around a specific drivers T/S parameters and it should be spot on or super close.
Could you do one on the qbomb dual 12 tb box now I’m curious on the actual box tuning ?
Great video
Thanks!
So which is the best single box for a 12” sub? Love your videos
This one: lddy.no/1jwux
so honest here 🤗
I have the Q bomb single 15 with a slot port. it’s loaded with a sundown 15… I have significant port noise… any thoughts on how I could modify to reduce chuffing
I tuned mine to 36hz. Kicker cvx 12 4ohm DVC with RAZR 2500.D set at 2ohms a long with the sub is parallel wired.
Minimum on the sub is 1.7sqft. so it works great with no distortion
👍
Super interested in the D4S box review!
I estimate that I'll need about 50,000 views on this video to afford the down for sound box. So thank you so much for watching. You got me one step closer.
@@DIYAudioGuy might have to watch a few more times then! Lol. Absolutely love the information you put out. Oddly enough, I found you from Soundman's channel
@@dylanandersen9318 I really appreciate SoundMan for doing that.
What’s funny is, I have basically the same setup in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I too was surprised with this box.
Did you notice in the specs on Amazon? They say it's not waterproof. I thought the whole point of the bedliner was to make the box waterproof. I guess maybe it's water resistant? I figure that's important in a Jeep.
@@DIYAudioGuy
I didn’t see that in my initial purchase.
I mainly got the box because I’m hoping the box can take a bit more beating with things being in the trunk potentially crashing into the box like groceries or tools.
I love my q box the best with 4 ohm
Had a prefab walmart box on my power acoustic walmart sub running on fosgate p200-2 wired down to 2ohms and bridged . I switched to the Qbomb....for 80 bucks it was a game changer in my low budget system from the seat of the pants everything was 100 percent t better. Get daily compliment and it's about 200 bucks all in.
Hell yeah!
I have this box for a alpine type r. I find it sounds even better if you stuff the port with polyfill, with this combo. It evens it out a little better IMO.
Thanks for the tip!
I also have this box for an alpine type r, the r2-w12d4. What amp are you pushing it with?
I'm getting a RAV4 and seriously considering three kicker cwr 15s to run sealed. I like all kinds of music so how would you rate the transient response of the comp r's ( sealed)
I've always preferred quadruple sealed subwoofer setups over two ported on the same power and box volume. I could just run four of the kicker Comp C's 15s in a box facing up as well.
I have not tried it sealed yet.
I appreciate that you can say you dont like it. But also it performs well so its a good box
That is my honest opinion.
Awesome video…enjoy a couple more blue moons as a celebration.
I was wondering if anybody would notice.
@@DIYAudioGuy I noticed because I’m enjoying some myself as I enjoy this video.
Great Video
Thanks
My experience with the 2 12s huge port Q Bomb was that it's extremely loud. The box was very loud but didn't hit the lows like my custom box did. I didn't care how the box sounded overall either. It was loud, that's it. I kinda equate it to Flowmasters, they're noisy but not tuned very well.
I like that analogy.
@@DIYAudioGuy If someone has never had a custom box and only used prefab boxes, they'd absolutely love the Q Bomb because of their limited frame of reference. The extra loudness would be very enticing.
They have about six or seven different Flowmasters and you can listen to the different sounds somewhere here on TH-cam
I own a 2 12" QBOMB enclosure. It gives me a stiffy, whenever I see it and it makes entry level subs sound good. I "MAY" put both my Alpine S's inside it (debating)
I got the 12” Qbomb the lows are deep 💪🏻 no complaint over there
I was really surprised by how good the box was. I was expecting junk.
@@DIYAudioGuy I bought the box without knowing anything about it! It was recommended by a shop I bought my skar svr 12”.. and a lot of plp like how lows hit and deep. I was kinda effy with the hz after words but after watching this video and you saying it’s at 34hz I was like ohhh yeahhh buddy 💪🏻
@@josecunsako31 I was pleasantly surprised.
I would like to see a review on the pro box
Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell, you might see one real soon!
Do a GS-30HZ112B from ground shaker
One of the biggest mistakes that new car audio guys do is buy the wrong box, not knowing how important it is. The box is just as important as the subs. It is a night and day difference between the right and wrong box
Absolutely. It's so easy to get fixated on the sub because it's just so much more exciting than a rectangular box made out of wood. I've been tring to develop a rule of thumb, for every dollar you spend on subwoofers how many dollars should you spend on the enclosure? 1:1, 2:1? What do you think?
@@DIYAudioGuy I think it depends on what subs you get but if your gonna spend big money on subs then definitely get a custom made box that fits your vehicle and most importantly, is in the specs of the subs. Down4sound is a great site to get an amazing custom made subwoofer box just how you want it
Should review the D4S profab boxes
When this video hits 60,000 views I'll do it! So give it a like and a share so TH-cam will start showing it to people.
Please review the D4S box
I'll need about 60,000 views on this video before I can afford to buy that enclosure. Hit the like button and share it with a friend!
I had one box like that with a older dd audio 9000 series and it sounded super good in my bmw I didn't like the smell
Very nice
Thanks
I'm still learning myself and that's interesting it's tuned to 34Hz with that size port in that size enclosure.
I'm not sure I can really trust the "knock" test as I'm not sure what I'm looking for in the sound. Some of my subs sound hollow but I'm not sure what kind of hollow I'm listening for. I have no issues with SQ with the boxes sounding somewhat hollow.
Maybe if it was a very obvious resonating hollow then that'll be the hollow I'm looking for to know if they're bad?
Also my 10" Ultimax box using those passive radiator shakes like crazy on lows under 22Hz when playing louder. It could be the design choice I made but the box ended up being just about "perfect" imo for my trunk space. The box is only 80-85 pounds though. And the mass the Passive Radiators have it doesn't surprise me why it moves with those flapping away on the lows. I'm not sure how much SPL that movement can be causing me to lose. But maybe one day I should brace it so it never moves and measure the difference.
Thanks for the review and I think it's funny how it pushed you to drink in the end with the weird fact it's tuned lower than it calculates to be. I guess it's good that things workout like this sometimes.
I mostly use the knock test as a way to determine how solid the enclosure is. If it sounds dead, the enclosure should sound better, it should have less panel resonance. Panel resonance will color the sound. Tap on a hollow corridor and then go tap on a solid wood door, there's a big difference in the sound.
