sgaboi1 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 he's joking. i thought it might be a typo and meant 40 hz, but his current box is tuned to 31 hz. please don't try to tune a box to 4 hz lol and please don't buy a random box and call it a day I was hoping so. I've never seen that number. & Yes I'm thinking 33Hz. So my entire box would need to be tuned to the 33Hz and each sub chamber should be 1.75ft^3? Making the entire box 3.5ft^3? Recommended enclosure info: Sealed ~ 1.0 to 1.5 ft^3 Ported ~ 1.75 to 2 ft^3 @ 30 to 35 Hz Cutout: 11.10" OD: 12.5" Mounting depth: 6.75" Mounting flange to top of surround: 1.25" Displacement: 0.16 ft^3 Quote You can subscribe to me on youtube @sgaboi1, I will eventually start to post vids/pics of my system updates.

sgaboi1 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 So for instance if the sub is naturally tuned @ 33Hz, i'd set my sub sonic filter to say.....26Hz?... And my subs should be able to take between 600-1000rms a piece & I'm going to push them with an amp that would push around 1500rms so I should be safe right.(in case I'm not awesome on the knob) Thanks no you set your ssf based on what your box is tuned too not the fs of the sub. and those obsidians will eat up that 1500 rms all day long as long as it isnt clipped. Ok thanks I hope they do too. That means I could sell the amp & uprade. & any box suggestions? actually i just built my box for my 2 skar 12s. ill post my torres calc. your obsidians should do pretty good in it too. edit: i just remembered that obsidains like smaller boxes so this might not be the best for you. unless you feel like doing alot of bracing. Hey, I just noticed you have a Taurus as well. From your info., I'm assuming that your eletrical system is stock. Are you having any light dimming issues or battery drainage? I'd really like to see your setup if possible. Thanks Quote You can subscribe to me on youtube @sgaboi1, I will eventually start to post vids/pics of my system updates.

new guy Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) nevermind that torres calc i posted would be perfect for your subs. for somereason i thought i seen that they like 1.5 ported. just be sure if you do build that to add some internal bracing.

Thanks i used to have the taurus i just got a different car though. i dont have any pics of my old system though. they have a 110 amp alt iirc. all i did was upgrade my battery ground and my lights dimmed pretty bad to 900 rms @ idle. but it would stay above 13 volts and lights dont dim too much while driving. these cars are a bitch to do anything on im so glad i got a new car. but if you have any questions i can most likely answer them.

Oh ok. And I have no mean which to build a box, so I'm looking for someone to build it. And yea I thought they would dim. I agree, I never liked these cars. I only have it because my parents & grandparents got it so I could go to school. Not caring about the fact that "I" bought a car that "I" liked. Anywho, I'm thinking of making using my stock tape deck as well. I'm going to use a line converter. And the 2-5.25 + 2-5x8's suck. Also, did you really get 130db? Or is that something else? Thanks for your help man. Edited January 3, 2012 by sgaboi1 Quote You can subscribe to me on youtube @sgaboi1, I will eventually start to post vids/pics of my system updates.

new guy Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 it rattles like crazy. before i put deadner in there you from far away the rattling was nearly louder then the bass and you could hear it rattle inside the car if you had a window down.

That sucks. I hate rattle. I an deadener is not cheap. I guess I'll have to ride that horse when it arrives. & I wish it had speakers in the rear doors. They make custom car audio for everything except a Taurus. I need someone to hit it and collect. lol Quote You can subscribe to me on youtube @sgaboi1, I will eventually start to post vids/pics of my system updates.
