Box Tuned To 23hz?

[Menace89]

Both RE L-port calculator and carstereo.com says that my box needs to have 1.783 cu. ft. and be tuned to 22.76Hz (I figured doing 23Hz wouldn't hurt)

Will a box tuned to 23Hz would even sound good?

If anyone want to check it to make sure I got it right, I have 2 12" Cerwin Vega V-Max subs(but im doing separate box and port for each) specs on subs are:

Fs-28Hz

Qts-0.48

Qms-4.3

Qes-0.54

Vas-0.977 cu. ft.

Xmax-17mm

Cone area-70.8 sq. in.

I already have the box designed and everything, I just wanna make sure a box will sound good tuned to 23Hz before I build it.

23hz is LOW...Really depends on your subs recommended Enclosure specs..What do your subs call for as a recomended enclosure..

Here are the subs recommendations for enclosure specs

So no..23 hz is not good

Manual says 1 cu. ft tuned to 37Hz and the web site says 2.5 cu ft. tuned to 35Hz but with ony 20 sq in of port. so i dunno what I wanna do cuz 20 sq in of port sounds small

I think you would have a pretty flat response, but you would lose shit tons of output.

[Menace89]

So then should I use the 20 sq in port on a 2.5 cu ft. box or should I use around 30 sq in?

that's what I was thinking too.

I would download WINisd and spend a little time modeling up your subs and figure out which would work best considering what you are llooking for the subs to do. 30sq in of ports does seem a little small, but then again I have never used those subs. either way I would ditch the 23Hz idea. 30 is about as low as I would think of going for a sub box in a car.

I downloaded WINisd and it says I need a 1.734 cu ft box tuned to 23.44Hz lol

Oh well, I guess Ill do a box tuned to around 35 Hz
