SnowDrifter Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 As the title suggests... I've never really built a 'demo' box before and I'd like to give it a go. All of my boxes have been pretty musical and play reasonably well from 50-60 down to mid 20s, even high teens on an older box. Last time I metered on my previous install, it was a 143.5@28hz (2 12s 3500 watts) I feel like I am losing a ton of output being tuned so low. So I need some ideas for box tuning / what the painful frequencies are.

fox_racin4 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I tune to 34hz usually Alot has to do with how the car peaks/where it peaks My wall is tuned to 40hz (on paper) but i can play 25hz-55hz all within a couple Db Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baaudio Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 its really crazy how the different frequencies feel. Justins blazer is pretty crazy, you feel yourself moving so much and its pretty violent. but idk if i would classify it as painful per say. the lower frequencies arent as painful as they are violent is what im trying to say. when i sat in brian butlers ranger, 149 db @ 48-50 hz it was more painful to me. it choked me out and made my whole head tingle. i think woofer placement has something to do with it as well. i think of my setup as more violent then painful but it gives me the same kinda tingly feeling in the 35-40 range. so id say ==> Violent<35 hz<Painful. i realize ill prolly get bombed on for something like that, but its a very general statement of what i have observed.
