  3. WTB: Supertweets

    in Want To Buy

    Posted · Edited by Mikey Bates

    Was looking at the Crescendo FT-1 and some Selenium Supertweets. Planning on crossing over at 4-5khz. Doesnt have to be those brands just something of decent quality and not over 50 each new. (otherwise i'll just get the Crescendos. Must be 4 ohm as well

    Let me know what you guys got! Thanks

  6. 40hz too high?

    It depends on your music for me I play rap rock reggae and sq stuff the best common ground I have found is 38 to 40hz tunning with the porper port I can still play down to 28hz with authoirty if I tune lower rock amd reggae start to sound like ass if all you play is crap errr I mean rap a lower tunning might be for but a true audiophile won't tune that low

    what do you mean proper port? like 15 cubic inches of port?

    Best / Cheap option is the Stinger Volt meter ~ 25$ depends where you get it. They work fine, adjustable. I own one, and i like it. No problems, other then user error which i thought was the meter, but wasnt.

    Best / Reliable / Accurate / Pricey ~ Dakota Digital. Not sure on pricing. But i know there the best to get, haven't heard a bad word about them yet.

    what does an adj one do?

    I want to feel the bass hard in my chest if that makes sense. I love feeling bass and I love flex. I do have chopped and slowed songs i just don't listen to them because my box doesn't pick them up well

    youll get more flex from slammin lows js XD tune to 35. its like a common ground. if its not loud enough you need more lol. . . . . tuning that high for loudness and compromising is just eh. dont do it lol

    your louder at a higher freq most of the time and flex is bad mmmkay fuck flex i dont want it

    and ill throw you in my civic with 2 15's peaking at 42hz play some 32hz songs and i will bet any amount of money it will sound better and way louder than any of your systems tuned to 30 whateva hz

    me? lol

    Ok here are some picture. the port and sub withh face up, and the port will be in the very back, the sub being closer to the front, and the empty surface area is weher you can put you console thing.

    cutting the double baffle for the port will be a bitch honestly but thats what you gotta do. and that 1.5" of port going through the baffle was calc into the port length so

    Try this. 32 wide (left ot right in your cab. 16 deep. front to back, and 14 high. up down lol. . . sub and port both face up. with double baffle (so for the port you have to cut into the baffle and also account for the length. anyways, this gives you 14.5 port which is good, and 32hz like u had. and 2cubic ish feet. im not a bx designer. so ask people but if you can fit this try it?
