BADBOWTIE Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 DOES ANYONE HAVE OR KNOW HOW A PORTED BOX TUNED TO 38HZ SOUNDS OR WILL SOUND IN A 98 BUICK FOR ROCK AND RAP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Bates Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm newish to all this so people correct me if im wrong but depends on subs characteristics, car, box size, even if its tuned to 38hz, direction of box even. I have 2 12's in a sealed box, and changing the direction will change the sound drastically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 tuning around 37 hz will be good for a lot of types of music. I tune to 37 and it sounds great on all music. but tuning really only helps to get down low so your subs don't unload. if you have subs with a huge displacement (most good subs). If you have shitty subs you are gunna want to tune lower to protect them from unloading. what kinda subs will you run?

BADBOWTIE Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 if i just set my subsonicto 30hz on a box tuned to 38 will that help it from unloading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I would set your subsonic to 34-35hz. Do you know how to do it super precisely?

Nikitaaa Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I never understood why people abuse caps lock. DOES THIS MAKE YOU WANT TO ANSWER MY QUESTION MORE? Edit: 38hz will sound fine, but don't excpect to play 20hz loud and clear unless you really know how to build a proper ported box and control the cones movement. Just depends on what you are looking for in music.
