ANTMANTHAKID305 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Tuning around 34-36hz thanks i'll try that when i make it to work in the morning. to do that i turn the frequency all the way down to the lowest i have and mess with the sub sonic filter to adjust it properly right???

FeArZ Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ditch the prefab, you can make a box for less than 100 that will sound 50x's better. Cvx's will eat up 1000rms in the right enclosure, I would break them in for a few days, then let a rip, but if you clip them to shit and they fail thermally that's on you. What do you mean when you say clip to shit meaning the amp giving the subs to much power of not enough to do what i'm looking for or messing around with the bass boost. I asked kinda new to it i haven't had a bass amp clip on me in some years but i knew it couldn't power the subs so i wasn't surprised. He means watch your Volume and get your gains set by a shop since you work at one they should be able to do it.

I think he is talking about if you build a box a tuning of around 34-36 would be good.

ANTMANTHAKID305 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 so for the mean time with my prefab box generally what should be a nice low bass frequency that should be good for those subs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 i can't believe this guy works at a shop ^ this guy. Lol Everyone learns. i wouldnt be a dick if he was some noob that was just getting into the game. we were all there at some point. but like this guy works at a shop and is making money installing systems for people. he should know these basic questions if he is professionally installing stuff in paying customers cars. like he obviously doesnt know what clipping is and thinks tuning the box is turning a dial on the amp. i want to know where this guy works so we can save the company money from having all the customers coming back in with warranty claims. and for people who dont buy warranty to not get an install from this guy. the questions this guy is asking as installer is scaring me.
