Recommended Posts

so i finally hooked up my dc xl nobody said that shit was so vicious. it's wired at .5 omh because the the olny way to get good power going to it with the only amp i got. anyhow i think im tuned to around 35hz. my prob is my subs only sound good on low song id like it to be universal , so im thinking tuning to 38 would that do the trick? looking to play different types of music or everything not just low songs.

Yo dog i heard you like boxes. so i put a box inside a box so you can bass while you FAIL

What amp? You probably aren't seeing much more power at. 5 than you would at 1.

And why do you "think" you're tuned to 35? Maybe the tuning is lower than you think.

haha yeah I'm sure it would, my friends 18 was at 33hz, he never even touched a lot of the highs. Another friend rocking his 2 12s had them at 36hz the subs were on about 600w, they did fine on the higher stuff but the power and strength would you say wasnt really there on some of those low low songs.

What is the high pass filter set at?

Sometimes it is not just the tuning, but also the size of the box. The sub more than likely will play up to 100+ Hz in the box you have now, but the design has a peak above tuning that is overpowering frequencies above the peak.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.
