Re: airspace-power?

does it take more power to push air into a tire with 22psi, or 44psi?

44 = smaller box, less room, requires more power to push the air inside of it due to lack of room. 22 = larger box, takes less power to move air around a larger box due to increased room. not sure on this theory, but to me it makes sense. STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!

Re: airspace-power?

Forget about box size and power. Match your box to the specs of the sub. Raw wattage is overated...mostly because most manufacturers don't accurately report their true output.
