Punkeyboozter Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 nice, there's a dealer near here any hows, anyone know a good tune for daily driving? trying to hit as close to 150db as possible. 150 arnt as easy as people think. If that is your goal then that is fine. If you plan on doing hair tricks and doing 150 then that just upped the stakes. While I am not saying its not possible it will require some effort and even more $$$ Just saying so you know what you are getting yourself into. For daily I personally wont go higher then 35Hz ...many who chase numbers tune higher then 40Hz to give you and idea. Some like it just fine for daily but its not my cup of tea. Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice.

mississippiboi12 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 yea i'm wanting a tune so it hit all the note, not just low or high, and i want to be as loud as 150db but as of now i know it'll take more, thats why i said as close to it as possible daily, not just blurps,and i really want more sound quality than worried about numbers, but i do want to be loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say do some aero's first as its much easier to adjust the tuning. Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice.

Start now to do ur cabling and get ur alt sorted. Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice.

Assuming its a trunk car I would say subs sealed off forward with port forward would be the loudest in most cases. If you are not planning to fold your seats down then sub back port back will work best for most part. I have seen ported into the cabin as well by using the rear speaker holes but results varied and its sometimes hard to tell if its the box that is at fault or if its not a optimal application, You will never know how loud it will play just by using the software. there are too many variables. My advise would be to build it as good as you can and then start testing. That is why you would always hear many people say "loud is ugly" Once you find out exactly what works for you you can rip it all out and build it again this time making it look all good and stuff; but most of the time when people reach this stage they dont bother or already start looking at buying new gear. Personally the effort and journey to get there is all part of the fun so don't rush it too much. Do things right or it will always be in the back of your mind. Dont give up if you dont reach 150 the first time around and most of all have fun. Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor.
