SenorPeligro Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Can you tune a box too low, say 26 or 27 hz for example?
wizart383 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Depending on the sub, enclosure size and power.
SenorPeligro Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Like on my noob build thread, 15" Fi BL powered by 1000.1 Alpine, working with 3.55 cubes...
nCOMP1337 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 some woofers dont like and/or cant play low ive seen some woofers in which when a song plays a low note for an extended period of time, you can immediately smell coil thats why 32/33 i think is recommended for daily driving, because on many setups it will be able to play down to a certain degree below and above tuning tuning it to 26 hertz, may be too low, but i know BL are nie and well built subs, but i dont know how they like the lows, im ot sure what in a subwoofer is important for lower tuning to be played well
SenorPeligro Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Shit. Well this complicates things then. I think the 15" BL line is rated at 33.1 hz, anything below is fine and anything above your risk damaging your sub, am I right?
Torres Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 tuning that low is pointless also imo. mid 30's would sound much better for daily music.
tlee2 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 They would be fine that low. I've had mine at 30 and 35. 35 is way louder and still gets plenty low in my setup EDIT: had them at 38 too 35 still being loudest 6 Sundown X 15s 2 Sundown NS1 V2s C Pillar 4th order Bagged Suburban on 24s http://youtube.com/tlee333
nCOMP1337 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 you can play above the Fs, that is the subs resonant frequency, i believe its the peak at which the sub plays in free air, different boxes allow you to play more or less above and below tuning, sort of how some people build boxes designed to only play one note, and some people have boxes that play form 25Hz to 45Hz, depends on how its built, whether it damages the sub or not, depends on how well built the sub is and its ability to play below and above its tuning sort of like the FI btl n3, its meant for pure spl burps, its built to be played like that, not built for musical applications, though im sure some people such as db-don (im sure he will succeed) are trying to put it into musical applications as well as have that burp possibility im nto sure which of the t/s parameters affect a subs ability to play below and above tuning, im a super noob, so of course wait for more people to chime in please, just adding some thoughts
