Crandis16 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 So I'm putting together a system for a buddy of mine, He has a ford focus... I think 2009? So far he will be getting 2 Sundown E-10D4 and everything will be wired down to 1ohm and will be getting anywhere from 600-800wrms, but most likely 600wrms to avoid voltage drop on a stock electrical system. The box will hold those 2 10's with the port on one side of the box firing towards the back of the trunk. This is where I need help from the guys and gals on SMD.... He just wants something that slams as a daily driver... no competing with tones or playing chopped or screwed music. What do you think would be a good frequency to tune the box for most music? This will only be my second box btw My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTC360 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 36hz is that perfect daily tune imo.

bkolfo4 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I would go for 33-34 Hz. If he will not be competing, center the port between the two drivers. 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.

Joe X Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 33-35 is most frequently used but an optimal setting depends on many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) 33-35 is most frequently used but an optimal setting depends on many things. Your answers basically always have a disclaimer:"optimal setting depends on many things". We all know that, I'm sure the OP does too. He's just wanting a general idea to what others tune to for daily setups. OP, I am tuned to 33, and its very musical in my application and gets plenty low as well. Edited May 26, 2012 by CleanSierra Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crandis16 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks everyone, this was helpful. I know some prefab boxes (which I don't use) are tuned to greater than 40Hz and I wasn't sure if this kid wants prefab quality or home built quality. I'll probably just tune it to 33Hz if you say so. 28hz ftw! (not for 10s tho LOL) 10s id go mid 30s lol.... 28Hz. I don't think that 600wrms in a box like that would push much hahaha My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crandis16 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I generally shoot for 35 hertz or so-ish my most recent box was tuned to 35Hz and it sounds pretty damn good to me. I just wish I had more power and more subs My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
