Mikey Bates Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 How to pick best tuning? Soudsn stupid but ive been seeing people tune to ets say 35hz, but 42hz they hit a higher db. why is that and if your going for spl how to you figure out what tuning really is the best...becuase if you wannt hit lets say 150db at 35hz, how do you know that tuning your box to 30 hz, is going to give you the loudest db at 35. btw, just using numbers as examples, they may be absoutly wrong and dont make sense, but you get the point i hope.

IH8PunkRok Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 its all based on the car and the subs read a lot and you might pick up on the basic idea 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...

stroupe79 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 my box is tuned to 35hz per Rusty's recommendation...my Jeep's resonant frequency is 47hz..and my spl peaked at the high 40s to 50hz range...I am sure I could pull higher db's if I tuned my box to something in the mid 40s but then I dont think I would like the overall sound...I was never really building the box for numbers just giving you an idea of what happened with my setup Quote http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tuned to 29 hz but my peak is 40hz sealed. I was not going for numbers on my build either , but I happend to luck out and still break 50's off only 4k Quote 8 SSA EVIL 15's 4 CRESCENDO 5500'S 2 SINGER HAIRPIN'S 21 XS POWER D1600'S ALL MCLAREN AUDIO MID'S AND TWEETERS 1 TARAMPS HD4000, 1 TARAMPS HD800 SEX!
