its a good sub...

you need a good custom box for it. it will be a good start using the recommended box by the manufacturer.

and the amp, 2ch amp works great with it. monoblocks also works great with it. just make sure you get amps that has the same wattage output as the sub and set your gain properly.

cheerios...

ok, will customize a box & meantime, look around for a good used amp. tqvm! Today saw a customized carpet thick bx selling for rm180, is it ok for such price?

Meantime, i saw a pair of Diamond 6.5 mid-bass in JE auto accessories in serdang which could compliment well with my Autocraft tweeter & crossover since my component mid-bass had condemn:( Very tempting to get it:)

getting diamond at cash and carry shop are mostly...........................

not sure if this is old model, as it looks VERY different compared to my current boston sub

very2 old model, more than 10 yrs old liao...

while i will recommend you to get a custom build box... if the box off the shelves has the same internal volume as recommended by the manufacturer... why not.

woah, wouldnt the driver rubber/coils etc harden up/crack?

Thks for the word of caution, will b careful...

Depending on your type of music listening, you could opt for ported box or sealed box. Sealed box means no hole and much better listening to slow and audiophile musics..

If you want blast bass, then ported box is the type you should go for.

the foam will crack or not depends on the material used...

i have 2 Boston Accoustics Subs... which are almost the same age as the thread starter... hasnt seen them crack...

well, since i am not much into blasting but very much listening to fm, light & easy plus some 70s & 80s ballad/sentimental hit songs. i'll just go for the normal enclosure box type. tks MikeX:)

Added on December 20, 2011, 6:23 pmi believed Boston Acoustics brand & material made should be of highest made, so i trust the brand...slowly i will upgrade 1 by 1 component to my expected level:)

thats assuring to know since everything i have are from boston acoustics

Yes, agreed to that statement:)...now, i can concentrate to the 2-channel amp searches, hopefully can find a good used 2nd hand amp to boost the sub power...hopefully can scout 1:)

As per spec, SPL 98db 1watt / 0.5m...

a) Sealed Enclosure: 1.4 cubic foot.

b) Ported enclosure 1 cubic foot-port 3"Dia. x 6.5"Length. (all specs. include basket and port displacement so there is no need to build the box larger to compensate).

There are some pretty good used monoblocks at icehifi.com

Got it! tq

wah funny, usually ported box requirements are larger than sealed

Coz sealed box you want to compress the space for coil vibration while ported box need the hole to release the vibration.
