Tritrix question

[justphil]

In the plans on Curts site there are 3 sizes listed for the sealed. A 7 liter, 10 liter and 15 liter. What is the benefit sound wise by increasing the volume of the cab?

Typically more lower bass extension. But I wouldn't think that you'll gain anything significant. On his site Curt suggests you use the smaller volume box for greater power handling if you are going sealed.

But if you're really looking for bass you should consider the TL box version of the Tritrix.

Here's a build and review thread on them: https://www.htguide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37387


Enjoy! :T

Well I have a Table Tuba sub for my low end so extension isnt critical. I think I will build the 10 liter box then. I have a Denon AVR1610 which is 75watts per channel. Will this drive the Tritrixes sufficiently?

Absolutely. It should be plenty of power. If your sub is very non-directional at 100Hz I would cross over your speakers at 100Hz. You can do 80Hz, but it might push your sealed versions just a bit.
