IH8PunkRok Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Doing a build in a truck. I've tried many different boxes, small, big, tuned low, tuned high but no matter what the notes around 45 hz and up are pitiful. The low notes, low and sub 30 are the loudest. So how can I fix this? Sure low notes are cool but playing all music is better than playing only super low stuff Quote -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...

IH8PunkRok Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 what kind of truck? Subs, amp, more info. its a 2002 chevy silverado the rest of the info you requested is useless since we have this issue regardless of type of sub, number of subs, size of subs, box, tuning, orientation, and even power 6th i may consider midbass drivers wont be able to keep up at that low of a frequency. they would need to take over at 45 hz and about 140 db (not much but for a midbass driver it may be a bit of a stretch lol) Quote -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...
Autruche Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Probably have the best luck going bandpass if you are having a tough time getting to the higher 'more musical' notes. A 4th order would be a fairly easy way to get what you are looking for, though I do personally love my 6th order, as I get a near perfectly flat response from about 25 up to 50. What sub(s) are we talking about though? Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

Joe X Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 So it says that you have Hertz ESK 130, that's a 5" components, those usually start to kick in at 80-100Hz I'd say your gap is upper in frequency also, after all you said you tuned high and it didn't fix it looks more a gap in the 50-90 Hz region and not much below. I don't think going bandpass will help you with your problem, do you know for real the exact specs of the box you are using now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_racin4 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 whats the box config.? i know in my truck, 2 18 Fi btls on an AQ3500.1 subs forward port up, it would play down to 20hz no problem.. ( tuned to 34) so, i cut the port down and tuned it to "42hz" ( on paper) and i brought peak up to 29 and also had a peak around 46 or so as well.. subs forward port up seems to work best in my truck ( before i walled it) subs up port side also seemed to work ok Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
