Hey guys, I built my 10.5ft3 (tuned to 18hz) box for my 1803.. It has tons of output but I think it is underported..It sounds like there is port compression or chuffing on loud bass passages (U-571).. Also, the type of pressures in the box, i think is revealing my shortcommings as a woodworker .. Not to add to this but the box is about 200lbs..
Im thinking I might go to a passive radiator box/design to make it smaller and eliminate the port.. Can i achieve the same amount/type of bass as my big ported box in a smaller pr'd box? Is stryke the only company that makes a fairly cheap PR that will work with the 1803? Would I need 3 or would 2 be fine?
Any favorable alignments you could toss out would be much appreciated as well..
Thanks,
Craig
