Difference in tuning from 32hz and 35hz??


Recommended Posts

Hey guys im working on figuring out where i want to be at tuning wise with my build.

--RE SXX 10 d2

--Hifonics brz 1200.1 at 1 ohm.

Im looking for a good all around daily driver with a possibility of a comp once in a blue moon. My current prefab box is garbage and is tuned at 46 hz and like .89 net cubes after displacements i figured out. Im aware but i got it for free.

My new build will be 1.28 cubes net with 2 3" (rather than 1 4") because that puts me at 11 port area per foot. Aeros req 9-13 not 12-16.

My question to everyone is will i be disappointed with tuning to 35hz vs 32hz as far hip-hop goes?? Ports can get $$ so im looking for some help from experience. My re seems like it can hit nice and low but my current box holds it back.

My other option would be to make a box build at like 1.6 cubes tuned lower but would have less port per foot. (9ish)

Anyone have a preference which they liked better throughout their various builds? I wish i could just build both and try em out but im a poor college student :((

I think if you want more of a hip hop, tune lower. Rap and hip hop generaly go lower than other genres.

yes but you look at the range which is between 12-17, the more port you have up till 17 generally the more spl u are supposed to have (depending on the woofer). I guess yeah i want to be tuned lower but i want it to be loud too

I'd tune in the low 30 range 30-32. Also have you thought about just doing a slot port? Only reason I suggest that is so you can get your port area up. On the boxes I do I generally tune low 30 range w/ 17-19 per. Would be much happier that way IMO
