philly0116 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I recently acquired a PF15 subwoofer. Its my 2nd one and unlike my original, this cabinet is in very bad shape. Everything works but the cabinet is shot. I am going to build a new cabinet for it but Im looking for some direction. Should I build the box its original size or could I get better results if I built it bigger? It's currently 17.25" x 17.25" x 17.25". The driver is 15" and the current box is not ported. Main questions....should the current box be bigger and be ported or just build it the same as it was? Thanks for the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 When you say shot do you mean gouged, chipped, and scratched, or structurally shot? If mainly cosmetic, give it some new skins(veneer). Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If you have to rebuild the box, go back to the stock size. The amp and driver are optimized for that particular size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K5SS Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Not trying to be a jerk here, but.... Are there any redeeming components in a PF15? I have heard one and really didn't like its performance. How about selling the mint one and the beat one for a real sub;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K5SS Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Didn't mean to dash your hopes, just trying to be honest. I really don't know much, so take my posts with a grain of salt;) It does sound like a fun project though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
