Ideas For Subs That Use Small Boxes

my eclipses are 10" , and each one requires > 1 ft^2... for optimum performance

Try .55 cu feet sealed for the idq. Dunno if they hit as hard as the ecplise, its more of an sq than spl sub.

Look into making an iso-baric box. Harder hit from smaller box.

iso baric = more money + more space that it takes up.

since you are using two subs for an isobaric set up then you have to make space to mont both of the woofers and seal both of them off. it does esentially reduce the required box space by 1/3... but this is used more commonly in set ups where you need more space but only have so much. in other words, it makes the woofer think there is more box there, but it requires more space than running a single woofer.

if you want a small box woofer look at stereo integrity or adire audio. the stereo integruty 12 requires less than .5 cubes (note that the eclipse 10's listed above took more space than this 12 ). the stereo integrity magnum is, in my oppinion, THE small box sub.

I have a jbl GTI 10". Its a little beast. It uses a .75 ft^2 sealed box. These subs are a lil pricey and hard to find, but i love it.

Heres just a sample pic, cuz my setup is lacking aesthetic appeal.
