A 15 liter box really isn't that big... only a bit over 1/2 cubic foot. For compairson, here is the box volume for Kicker Comp 10" woofers (I use Kicker because it's a fairly popular sub, not because I like it).
Min Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters)1.0, 28.3
Max Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters)2.4, 68
Min Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)
**1.25, 35.4
Max Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)
**1.75, 49.6
**Port volume excluded
All of those are bigger than 15 liters... If anything, I would bet that box is actually too small. Is it ported or sealed? As the author suggested, if it's ported, it's probably a tuning issue.
