Alright, so I'm trying to figure out how to improve the sound of my sub, and I realize that a big problem is the box. I had the materials to make a box at the time I put this in, but for some odd reason, decided to just put it in this one first. As you can tell, it's (sort of) a sealed box, with many obvious flaws. The guy that gave it to me told me it would be fine, but I knew there would be problems. It has a terminal cup that I'm not even using, and a giant handle that isn't necessary. Besides that, the ratio of the sides is all wrong and there are two holes he cut out thinking it would make it sound better. Additionally, there is no bracing inside, and carpet missing from one side. Suprisingly, the sound is not that bad, but it can (and will) definitely be improved. I think that with only 350W running to the sub, I'm going to want to build a low-tuned ported box to get the most that I can with what little power I have. Does this sound about right? Or do you think building a proper sealed enclosure would improve my sound? I'm looking for SQ, but probably more SQL, as I do want it to be a little bit louder and still sound good.
