Ian Macfadgen Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 hey guys, i have a single sundown sa-12. i had the idea of broadening the range of my bass(i listen to lots of dubstep and dnb) by adding a single or maybe two sa-8's. if i made a box for that, would they need to be in a separate space in the box? or could i just make two different sized holes and put them in a shared space and port? what do you think?

will77530 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 they would need to be in seperat chambers and be tuned to different frequensies. it can be done but isnt easy. most will just use the eights for midbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 dont do it. they're going to be playing the same range of notes regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Macfadgen Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 dont do it. they're going to be playing the same range of notes regardless. i don't get it. i have two 8" oldschool jbl's. they definitely did put out a better 'high' bass. the 12 can hit the lows much better but when it comes time to hit a higher frequency, it doesn't seem to do it nearly as well as the 8's did.

OrionStang Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Then get the 8's but don't put them in the same box as the 12. Also, you're frequency range is dependent on the enclosure, not the sub. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also a different speaker altogether. Although I have never tried it out myself, many people say the SA-8s hit the lows better than the SA-12s. But it merely depends on both the speaker and the box.

Ian Macfadgen Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 what range are you looking to play anywhere from around 30hz all the way to 60-80. i believe most songs are in the range of 30-50 for the main track. all i want is to broaden the range of what i already have.
