  3. Tuning frequency

    Hey guys, I am currently building a sub enclosure (my first) and I am just about to sand the pieces and seal up the box. Before I do that I would like to get some input on the tuning frequency that I have chosen for my box because I would rather not have to tear it apart later because it sounds bad. The link below is to the Thiele-Small data sheet for my woofer (p3d210). The box I designed will have an interior volume of 1.4 cu. ft. and as of right now it will be tuned to 40.5 Hz (both are manufacturer recommended), I do not know enough about the data sheet numbers to determine if the woofer will perform better with a higher or lower tuning frequency, I listen to every kind of music there is so the box would need to be "multi-purpose". Any input would be greatly appreciated, I am very excited to get this box finished up and see all my work pay off :)

    One word.....

    ......Experience!!!

    That is what tells how much you can run, trying it out and seeing if it will handle it or not.

    Hehe, I figured that would be it. I have very limited funds, being in college full time and job part time, so I think I will keep it safe for now and stay at 50 or under, the bit that my HU is putting out does not seem to be giving the speakers what they want.

    Thanks guys, you have been very helpful so far and when I get my sub box built and amps wired up I will post up some pictures :D

    just go to cruthfield and look for wiring diagrams.. you can tell if you are pushing to much power though.,. it will distort too

    Will do, did not know crutchfield would show me diagrams if I did not purchase stuff from them.

    Clean power, done right,,,,,what does that mean? It means, don't put a shit ton of bass boost on it, have the filters on the amp set right and DONT set the gain WRONG. That is how you do it right, plus many other things as well....LOL

    Thanks for the info bud.

    If done right that sub can handle twice that power daily, you will be fine.

    I am really new to doing my own car audio, could you explain what you mean by done right? And are you saying that when I go to buy a single channel amp for this woofer I should not limit myself to the 400 watts?

    4 ohms will be bridged. wouldnt a 1 channel work better for this?

    I think a 1 channel would probably be better but I had this xplod amp powering 2 12s in my last car, the new car I was not interested in having no trunk so I wanted to go with 1 10 for now, so I decided to invest in a decent quality sub and then latter down the road grab a decent to good quality amp.

    Clean power - What does this mean? I would be using 4 guage wire (recommended by the sony manual) if that helps.
