Mikey Bates Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 My current box is what i believe to be 5.25 net cubes and tuned to 31.15ish hz. I have a DC lvl 4 m2 18 on about 1200rms, a dc 2k in the future. By going from 5.25 cubes to 6 cubes and 31ish hz to 38-39 hz (as daily) will i notice a change/ db increase?

97Jetta1637 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 honestly, i'd go with the same net volume but readjust the tuning to the 38 range. with a bigger box your 1.2k would be better suited. moar power = smaller box. less power = bigger box. and the dc 2k will be "over" rms handling on the website, not the peak at 2800, but still. as far as the db +- goes, idk, you gotta test it Quote #teamihop Two 12 inch DC XL's Carbon Fiber Cap Stetsom 7k Shell of box / baffle built by me Port / sealing the box by John Hone Fuck midrange Alpine-9886 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177428-97jettas-sql-trunk-wall-loudest-99-buick-century-custom-with-a-one-legged-owner/ price has no influence on how something sounds I told him to move the fucking port. they see me hoppin they stoppin they can't believe im so white and dirty It looks like you got so drunk, that someone came up and stole your leg.

"not the peak 2800" ??that's what i'd personally do. then when you get to 2800+ start going smaller. than what you currently have. say you were to throw a 3.5k on there you'd probably go with something along the lines of 4-4.5cubes ported.

Mikey Bates Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 ahh ok. but 5 and a 1/4 sounds bout right for 2k? and hopefully higher tuning boosts my db really trying to break a 145 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Jetta1637 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 correct, 5.25cubes would be fine for the 2k.
