I just finished building a ported sub enclosure for a JL 13W7 subwoofer. The enclosure measures 31.5"w x 31.5"d x 31.5"t with a 3" x 13" x 40" port (actually I think the port ended up at 3.75" x 12.25" x 40") from 3/4" MDF. It is currently being powered by a crown xs1200 amp from a single channel. I have a second driver and was going to build a second enclosure as I have another driver and run the amp in mono with the subs in series.
My question is when I ran my initial test with the new sub it seemed quieter, for lack of a better word, than my martin logan depth subwoofer. Is this because it's tuned to around 16Hz, or am I just not used to such a good sub? I did notice that the floor was shaking much more than I was used to etc, but I didn't seem to get that boomy sound like I did with my martin logan? Hope that makes sense...
