Too small of a subwoofer box?

okay i have this 12" dual eclipse subwoofers that can handle 500 rms. heres a connect.http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDe...

I also have a bridge 400 watt rms amp.

anyway. i had my freinds bro who is a pro at sounds look at my subs because when i put the volume to 23/35 the sub stops for a second, and afterwards it hits again. he looked and said the sub was in approach to small a box and that was causing it. would getting a bigger box(ported) stop this hitch from happening again.ps i check the ground and its all appropriate.

Hook up 2 amps?

That box was built FOR the subs, by Eclipse -the businesswoman of the subs. The box was optimized for the subs.

They're already sounding about as honourable as they can.

It sounds to me like your gain and/or bass boost is up too far
Use polyfil.

Pollyfil is a sound incorporation, dampening fiber that will deepen bass, provide cleaner midrange, tone down any unwanted reverberation and improve the dynamic extension of any speaker system.

It also helps get rid of standing waves, which is something like an noise inside the box. This will give you tighter and more accurate bass. It also helps to make available a flatter frequency response to the overall sound, which is good. Besides this, it also help reduce the vibration of the box, which results surrounded by less distortion. There is a big difference to the bass when you have an insulated box.

Damping also increases subwoofer usefulness by dissipating some energy that affects the sub, particularly the voice coil. It is advisable to put damp material inside a box. Pillow polyfill and fiberglass insulation are common, though polyfill is profusely easier on your skin. Polyfill also "tricks" a sub into thinking it is in a bigger box. Most sealed and vent enclosures require 1/2 lb. of dampening material per cubic foot of hutch. For best results it is recommended to loosely fill the material throughout the barred enclosure.

Am i running surrounded by 1 ohm...


If those subs can handle 500 watts rms and your amp is simply 400 then you might be under powering your subs. A chambered box would nouns better but thats not why your subs are cutting out. you need a class d mono amp than can push at smallest 500w rms at 4 ohms. if each sub handles 500 after you need an amp that puts out 1000w rms at 4 ohms
