  10. Tuning question

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Two 15's are "doable" in a trunk but not easy to actually do right space wise. If you're still new to the big boy audio world I would say do two 12's or 10's in the trunk. And just my opinion from others. I wouldn't recommend the HDCs if all you plan on listening to is chopped and screwed. They do hit lows ok but they don't really do well tuned low.

    I mean I want to be able to play all kinds of music, but I want low lows, so I figure i'll have to tune it kinda low. I have 2 L5 12's in right now, and they hit nice. But I wanna move on up to something louder and powerful.

    In a trunk you will lose a ton of sound by doing that. For that setup you want subs and port forward if possible space wise, I think it is? Or subs forward port up or port forward subs up would also work better then what you have there atleast. As for port length we would need exact box dimensions to help. yes port length and how many ports are what create your tuning.

    Yeah I just wanted to throw it out there, lol. Ok I have another question, would it hit harder if I had the 2 15s in the trunk, slot port down the middle, and sealed around the edges (seal trunk from cabin), OR, seal the trunk and have the box (subs up, port up) sit in my backseat?

    Going to put 2 Audioque HDC3 15's , my back seats in my civic are removed, so i'll be putting the box in the back seat (level with the entrance of the trunk), I was just putting some thoughts together, and was wondering if a setup like this would work. Having three 6" aeroports going into the trunk from the back seat cabin where the box is. This is daily driver, not trying for spl or anything, I just want really low lows, I listen mostly to C&S and slowed down stuff. My question is, what should the length of the ports be? I had em on google sketchup at like 16 inches, I've never tuned a box before so i'm new to all this, does the length of the port change the tuning frequency I want? Any advice would be great, thanks.

    Hi

    I have a question which I cannot figure out. So far Im inclined towards the 9887, but I want to make sure Im doing the right choice.

    The HU will power Type X components (or image dynamics not sure yet) which for now will be passive. Later on I will power them with a SAX-100.4 and yes there will be subwoofers

    I will mainly use the ipod function. I wont be using HD radio, XM or the BT. I want something thats easy to use, friendly user interface and best quality.

    I want to go towards the 9887 because of the 3 way crossover, even though Im not 100% sure what it is (or if Im ever going to use it), Ive heard a lot of people complain about the 117 because its missing this feature, and by the time I figure it out and I dont want to be out of luck. Specially if I will end up needing it.

    However, I also read a lot of people saying the 117 is just as good even without the 3way crossover, it comes with a built-in USB and that it has better ipod interface? (just saw videos on youtube, the ipod interface seems the same)

    Dont really know what else is this 117 hiding behind since there is not many user reviews out there so far.

    Comments/tips are welcome

    Get the IDA 305 man :)
