Michael James Murphy Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Alright. So I got a tricky question. I recently installed a pro box wit . Some cadence subs. I previously had some digital designs 510 subs in a ported box... I'm not sure what it is tuned too. But it's tuned low. I know where a local crank it up will be and I'm seriously debating if I should build a box for spl to compete. The only amp i have at the moment is a planet audio 1200.2 anarchy and it gets the job done.... For being planet audio. But Iwas jjust wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions for me if I do decide to build a box. It'll be tuned to 46-50 hz. I just started thinking about it yesterday and I haven't even started on box plans..... Yet. Thanks in advance any help given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourth Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Get a new amp. And why Cadence over DD? Just asking Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

Michael James Murphy Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Because cadence will be my every day sound quality in a pro box where as my dd would do a lot better in ccompetition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourth Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 What makes you want to tune between 46-50? What kind of vehicle? Do you know where the car peaks?

Michael James Murphy Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm going for spl. And I don't know what the peaks at either. It's a 2001 chevy silverado extended cab. I figured that would be a starting point. And I gotythe pro box and the two ten in cadence for 100 bucks. Not that bad of a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael James Murphy Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I know the competitorsnnormally tune high. That's why I was thinking about that high of tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourth Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Competitors will tune around the area of what the vehicle peaks at. Read up on this thread some it's got some good information. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/159769-how-to-find-your-vehicles-resonant-frequency-for-noobies-101/ Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself.

Michael James Murphy Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Good info man. Thanks a lot. I know someone who has a term lab and I'll probably give him a call... Bring over a six pack really 2 and get that done. It's really great that people will help noobs lol. And I'm probably going to work on making my truck sound good bbefore spl lol. Do you think I could get some "decent" numbers withtthose dd's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 The dds should give great results. Do a box with a changable.port su that you can go from a low daily tuning to a higher comp tuning. I think the silverado like to peak around 48-52 hz. A tuning around 38-42 hz should be a good start for a spl box IMO. 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.

Michael James Murphy Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 See for now I'm not taking out my back seat and I like the way the pro box sounds. And eventually I'm upgrading my subs. So I'm going to be building a new box. I don't think it would be a good idea to build a box like that. Because I would definitely need more air space than just under my seat in would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
