JoshDalli Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 What is the difference between the hz a ported box is tuned to? im looking at a box with a port thats tuned to 32hz, is that good for dual 15's?
Guest Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 generally speaking (but not always true) lower tuning = gain some ability to play lower notes but higher notes dont get as loud. higher tuning = lose some ability to play lower notes but higher notes get louder. box size and port size depend greatly too. like 95% of prefabs you can buy are garbage.
blanestudly Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 the different tuned boxes will make the sub sound better in quality or for SPL(loudness). So if you want a good sounding port your usually midhigh 20's. 40 hz tuned is going to be more for spl and wont hit every note as well. usually 32 is a good happy center of them. best of both worlds. it should sound good with the 15's if the box is well made. also it is very important to make sure your subs have the correct air space, look for sub specs to find out if there is enough cubic feet for the sub.
JoshDalli Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 so if the specs for the sub say 3.5 cubic feet and the box has 3.2 cubic feet would that work? this is the link to my subs im not sure which one to look at http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/BoxesandParameters/GTO1514DTD.pdf
blanestudly Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 if it says a min. of 3.5 cub ported then your just running them in a environment thats a little less suitable for them. let me look if thats what it is.
JoshDalli Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 okay the box is 3.2 cubic and tuned 32 hz, so whatever you can tell me i appreciate it
blanestudly Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 im going to go ahead and assume you should be alright running it in that box. The thing that is important tho is giving the subwoofer an environment where it is in the least amount of stress for the woofer to move. if your close your close. something that small shouldnt make a difference. i suppose i will ask, is that box for one sub that you have? or is the combined space 3.2?
JoshDalli Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 the 3.2 is per chamber. Im just trying to figure out if it will be better/ louder than the sealed box i have now
blanestudly Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 ported will always be louder. well. in most cases
JoshDalli Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 so that box should be a good fit then?
