what will be the difference to my ear if i build a box to the smaller side of the scale givebn to me Vs. the larger size give to me by the manufacture.

for example: the pioneer premier TS-SW124D (shallow sub) has a box preference of 0.6 - 1.0

what is the difference to my ear if i built a 0.6 & a 1.0 box?

thanks,

Smaller enclosure will tend to sound tighter and more accurate (response wise) and have better high-end capabilities, and will allow the woofer to handle slightly more power. Larger enclosures tend to sound more boomy and less accurate, but they are more efficient (higher output for given power input.) MFG recomendations are usually based on achieving average performance and to protect the woofer so it will actually handle its rated power.

oh ok, i am wanting a tight, clean responce with very limited air space. so going with a small spec'd box will work perfectly for me.

so i should go with a 12" if i can fit one to "regain" some of the lost lower frequencies of having a small air spaced box???
