Default hi,does anyone know if more enclosure airspace is better??? please help.....

hi
i was wondering if anyone knows if more airspace in the enclosure is better or not ...
right now i have 2 punch hx2 in a sealed box with 1.4 cubic ft. of air space for each sub... and im planning to get another sub.. and the new enclosure for those sub will have a combined shared air space of 4 cubic feet...
does anyone know if if this setup will hit or should i just not do it..
and also are the streetwires zn6 rca good at taking out the hiss noise...
please help...

Depends on the. If it needs the airspace then definately yes. If you are going to build a bigger enclosure port it.

not necessary........bigger is better,,,,,,,,,you ever hear phase states that, "you dun want too much, nor you dun want too little,,,,,you want perfect...""

so that the same w/ the subwoofer encloser,,,,,,,,you should refer to the requirement size on the subwoofer specs.

I had a HX2 12. You will be much happier with a ported box. I had mine in 2 cubes @ 35hz.

More airspace is better? It really depends on the amount of power you're running to your sub(s).

Get WinISD and find out for yourself.
