[QUOTE="Worstenemy453, post: 101948, member: 1156"] [COLOR="red"][COLOR="red"]If you have your subs wired to 1.3 ohm nominal, that number actaully goes up because of the box. So with box rise, you might be at about 4-5 ohms reactive load after the box rise happens. Say in a ported box tuned to 32 hz and you have your subs wired to 2 ohms, when your music notes actually hit 32 hz, you will be the closest to your nominal 2 ohms, but during other frequencies, your amp will not actually be seeing 2 ohms, it will see whatever the reactive load will be, which can not really be caluclated. This happens in a sealed box as well, sealed boxes have tuning frequencies but that is manipulated by size and not port.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]I wasnt saying an 8 in a proper box will always out pound a 12", im just saying that writing off 8"s because of their size isnt right. And in a space limited application where you could go 8" ported or 12" sealed, then i would be willing to be the 8" would sound better and hit harder. Of course equipment choice factors in to that as well. But if space is a limiting factor i would go with 2 8"s ported to around 32-34 hz. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
