[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7864369, member: 622908"] Being as that ~200hz is mono and not really stageable (except newly thought of as 50hz+ to be stageable by a few big SQ people), you really aren't going to hear the delay unless it gets so far behind the time correct mid stage that you are actually processing the mids before the sub wave gets to you. I'm running 40' of speaker wire to my subs after they see a 25' RCA run to the amp. My subs are still not noticeably behind my mids. As for the box, the cabin gain wouldn't accentuate the peak, as it would more than likely move it to a higher hz. This could cause even more music to sound terrible as you would have low output on most musical bass, and nearly force your sub into a one note wonder type of setup. Subs are not supposed to be midbass drivers, that's what decent mids are for:naughty:. Anyways, I digress, but if you are wanting a good solid sound across the entire musical spectrum; build a larger box so the output curve is more flat. Go large on the port area so as not to have any port noise, and tune somewhat low so you have control over the lower end of the music spectrum. GL [/QUOTE]
