osamio Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I want my boxed tuned for daily, like, music, rap and techno and stuff, I'm not interested in SPL numbers, just being loud on music... So my box now is built to the specs that came with the subs, and accoreding to torres' calculator, its roughly 39hz. Is this too high/low or where should it be for daily music? 2009 Cobalt LT Pioneer Headunit 2x Pioneer 6 1/2 (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 1" tweeters (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 6x9 (stock amp 4x Pioneer 6 1/2 Pioneer GM-6400F Soundstream DTR 1700 R.I.P 2x Champion series PRO 12" subs 0 AWG Big 3, Stinger SP1700 battery To come: New or repaired DTR!!

bumonskateboard6 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Little high, I'd say 34-36 and under is a good place to be Current Systems: 2011 BMW 335i Hertz HDP1 DC LVL3 12" Full Carbon Fiber 2002 Acura TlKenwood DNX9980HD2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 CoilsDC 3.5kHertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 RearHertz HDP4 AmpDC Power Engineering 260 Amp AltBig 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0XS Power D2400 Up Front i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch... going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box... Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaTbOy911 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yea 34hz is the way to go Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.

RAM_Designs Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 My 28hz box does pretty good on music. But I'd agree with hdorre on this.

osamio Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 If this is a stupid question, I'm sorry. But i just read in that "some maybe basic questions" some guy was saying "you don't need a subsonic filter with a half-way decent 12 like that" Is that accurate?? the only reason i was going to change my box was so i could lower my subsonic and stop cutting off bass, but if lowering it wont bother my sub, i'll just do it anyway, i know it wont be as loud on those lower frequencies, but it'll at least play them.

If thats an accurate statement ^ You can download test tone sweeps(I know roe used to have them, not sure anymore) and just set your SSF by using that. Just do a sweep and continue to lower you SSF until you get to the point where you're at the limits of the sub below box tuning, and then turn the SSF a hair up to be safe.

fritosaregood Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 38 hz is a great tune for regular music, It will even do with c&s music. where youre tuned now is fine. If you want to play super slowed music and still do everything else you can go down to 34. you ALWAYS need to use a subsonic filter, Your box wont perform well too far under tuning, but it will start to rip your sub apart. seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
