Audio-Concepts Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I am looking to take my old car audio sub and use it for an HT Sub setup. But considering I dont have a lot of experience I figured I would ask. Questions 1. What is the best positioning of the sub and port?? 2. What plate amp around 200rms is best bang for buck?? 3. What is best tuning frequency?? I appreciate any help that is given!

^_^ Gem132 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I wouldn't have a clue on the port positioning but look on parts express for Dayton plate amps they have decent ones for cheap, and also tune low like 25hz below if yuu want the full movie experience as some movies drop down real real low on explosions etc Pioneer deh-80prs2 10" Tantric Sounds HD's Ported Box Tuned to 33hzSoundqubed 3500.1Hertz HSK 165Tantric Sounds 6.5" Coaxials80sq ft of MurdermatXs Power D3400 & D3100 Sky High Car Audio Cable Throughout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio-Concepts Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was thinking around 20-25hz. Im looking at the Daytons and a couple others, but the Daytons seem stout and at the right price for power. Im gonna be building towers, a center ch. and a pair of bookshelfs in the spring after my car is finished!

RooTxBeeR Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Other thing you need to take into account, If it's a car audio sub, it may not have been made to handle low low bass.

IH8PunkRok Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 id say you want to have the sub and port facing away from you. in a home it is very easy to hear noise. mine is setup port forward sub forward. i always load it off a wall to try and keep noise down if the room is not carpeted then sub port down works well Bash is good cheap power sub 20 hz is a great tuning if it will be for movies only. if you plan to play music too keep it at mid 20s -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio-Concepts Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thank you so much for that insight. Greatly appreciated. I live in an apartment, soon to be townhouse, and flooring is carpeted! So sub/port back it is. The subwoofer is an Onyx LSv.2, it will play flat from 20-50+ hz. So with a tune about 25 I should be good for all ranges of music/movies, correct!?
