srool Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Hello ! If my car peaks @46hz, should I tune my box to 46 or few hz lower like 40-41? Also, when it comes to numbers only (score), how much port area is too much? I saw competitors that did about 25 sq.in /cf, I don't know iff more is ok. Thanks !
STEALTH808 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 its always install dependent. port area depends on many things. box size, power, subs etc. best way is to build, test, and keep building.

srool Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Posted February 26, 2013 I didn't talk about the port area specifically, but the ratio of it and the box volume. I know that everything is dependant, but I hoped to finde some thumrules and guidelines.

srool Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Posted February 26, 2013 I'll explain all: I'd like to build a box for burps, just to maximize the score out of the subwoofer. I have 2005 subaru impreza: Amp: 1 DC 5.0k Subs: 2 12" DC XL Batteries: 1X D3400 + 2X D3100 2 runs of 0G from the front to the rear Dual inputs (meand quad) on the amp. Metering: SPL LAB Wireless bass meter. I checked the pead with 12" infitity Kappa Perfect in a 1 CF sealed box. I don't know how much power I'm getting in every frequency, I don't know if I must know it or not.

alaskanzx5 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 from my exp in my car a box tuned to 43hz with 16" of port per peaked around 45-46hz. i would try 38-40hz with about 14-15" per cu ft. remember though the amount of room the box takes up and the direction the box is facing along with many other things can change the resonant freq a little. a lot of testing is the only way to get the best result, every car and setup will be different. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
fecupe2001 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 in theory you should tune 5-10 hz below peak , in reality, who knows!!! My last build using 2 10´s peaks at 54 hz and it´s tuned to 57 hz lol, and yes, i tried tuning lower at the beggining and score dropped, also, port is close to a loading wall wich lowers the tuning and peak frequency in some cases if you didn´t know that I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.
