MattyMattOne Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I Have a DD SW6.5. I built a box for it that's .34cuft net tuned at 57hz. DD doesn't recommend tuning it below 40hz, the website says 43hz is the Fs. It hits pretty hard yet bottoms out on the low hits of some songs(such as the low hit in the beat of "On My Level" by Wiz Khalifa). I was considering tuning to 45hz, maybe 40hz, I just want to hit the lows as best as possible without damage to the sub. The box has to be 8" deep, and 9" tall, but can be any width up to 36". i want the sub to be upfiring. Any box designs or suggestions please? I swear that shit shot out into the parking lot too. Very dangerous, but fun. 94' Mazda B2300. Logic Soundlab 1000.2 amp pushing a DD 1010(1.56ft^ft@37hz). KnuKoncepts wiring. Pioneer headunit. Homemade C.A.I. Cat delete. N1 muffler.

99blazer Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 the smaller the sub the more punch instead of a smooth low sound. i see that you live in oklahoma call audio extreme. the main box builder there is running those in his car and they sound hella good 08 Ford F150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMattOne Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Okay will do, as a matter of fact that's where I bought it from. I asked if he'd sold many of the 6.5's and he said I was the first person to buy one. I will for sure check up with him, good idea. I just want a bunch of opinions/designs to ponder on lol.

99blazer Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 should be a dude with red hair kinda skinny. he was the main box builder dude last time i went which was about 6 months ago. 08 Ford F150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 The reason why it is bottoming out, is because you tuned it to 57hz, and playing a 28hz note, not going to happen. I don't know about that sub, and about tuning it low, try and it and see what happens.

MattyMattOne Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'd consider doing a folded horn for the frequency you want. I'll look up what a folded horn is.. I've only made about 10 enclosures so far, a couple were sealed and the rest are slot ports. I'm just starting out and haven't done anything too extravagant. I use Torres Tuning Calculator and Google Sketchup. I was drawing some ideas up today and I think I want to center the sub in the middle of the box and doing two ports, one on both sides of the sub. What are the harms of tuning subs lower than the fs? I swear that shit shot out into the parking lot too. Very dangerous, but fun. 94' Mazda B2300.
