Re: Built my subwoofer, now I thought I'd model it...


I got the file to work and I notice a couple of issues. With 6db of boost at 35hz and input power of 240 watts you have exceeded the subs xmax. You would have to drop the input power to 100 watts to reach maximun xmax. Spl at 20 hz would be 101db. Changing the boost to 3db at 35hz and the sub will handle 210 watts at maximum excursion with an output of 103db at 20hz. Also note you can only get so much out of a 12 inch sub with 12.5mm xmax. If you do decide to get a 18 inch sub, you won't be dissapointed!
