Hi guys,
I need some help with my selection of enclosures for my sub. Its a JL audio 12" W3v2 (http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs.php?series_id=12) I know its a car sub, but i don't use it in my car anymore, so Im using it in my house now.
I was hoping that someone could help me out in reccomending an enclousure for the sub.
Im not really after huge SPL or extreme low frequency response, but I do want something thats clear and tight sounding.
Also if I build a ported box, all the box design software i've tried gives me port diameter and length, but what if I want to use a slot port? Is it just the area inside the port that matters? or something else?
Thanks Pete
