Kranny Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) 35hz isnt low. 5 cubes a piece is alright for 18's, but you'd want a little more usually. what specific woofers are you using? Edited July 27, 2012 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 So my buddy put an alpine type R 15 in a sealed box, and its hitting way lower than my 10^ft box tuned to 35 hz with two 18s in it, similar to the dc lvl 4's. Granted, im giving them 1k a piece but they rms at 2500, but what's the deal here ? I mean, I THOUGHT 35hz was fairly low. But that sealed box he has his subs in is giving incredible bass response. Now, I didn't build the box the 18s are in, but it looks like it has enough port area ? I'll post pictures when I get to a computer, but any idea what it would be ?? The best you can do is giving the external dimensions of the box and the dimensions of the box and the vehicle this is in. Also you should check your subsonic filter so that is not tuned to high and the incoming signal not to be hi passed or equalized etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 You have roughly 8 cubes net in that enclosure, you should have 12 cubes net for 2 18s, that box could work well with 2 15s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseyMclame Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Ah. So a small box may be my issue ? I mean would that really effect it to where It wouldn't play the lows that well ? Like, on the song Put On, the first and second bass note are loud, te second being te loudest, but the third is kinda there and the fourth really isn't there. And the way the box sits now, the port is about .. 6-8 inches from the hatch. Id rather it not be any taller, and it can't really be any wider. Don't I need a certain amount of space between the port and hatch ? Quote Current setup in my 96 Hoe Hu - Pioneer DEH-80prs.

Miguels Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 4 to 5 inches it how mine is.. the reason i went higher was to be able to use double baffle on all walls and still have enough cubic feet Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
