What frequency should I tune my box to? And how should I do it?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm new here at SMD, so I'll give a little introduction...

Hey guys! My names Caleb, I'm a 16 (and 11/12th months) old, I live in Auckland, New Zealand, and I love cars, parties, and I'm sure you know all the rest ;)

Anyways, I would like to know what frequency (Hz) I should tune my subwoofer box to, for this kind of music:

J. Cole - No Role Modelz https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e3XquGJfL_I

Schoolboy Q - Studio https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8zo9VTJUVWc

Kid Ink - Round Here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gS5lLM5jjmU

Dom Kennedy - My Type Of Party https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=44-_CWBFamc

Dvnny Seth - The Kings Speech https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IM9qWfIi-o4

Dvnny Seth - I'm Leanin https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_zhBI6sbry0

So yea, that's the kind of music that will be played (usually) through my subs, so if someone could tell me what Hz I should tune my box to that would be greatly appreciated...

Now for the second question, how should I build the box so that it will be tuned to that ^^ Hz, I have two 12" subs, both will be operated at 175w rms untill I get a more powerful amp. I will have one box, but it will be split in the middle, so that each sub has its own airspace. I want a very tall thin port, one for each side. The box (I'm thinking) will be around 40cm high x 40cm deep x 100cm long...

I have to go now, but I'll upload pics of what I want the box to look like when I get home...

Thanks for the help guys!!

I have my box for two sa12s on a sundown 2500 tuned to 31 hz via a full length 6 inch aero and the box was designed by Ryan from RAM designs and it slams and KILLS the lows so if that's what you're wanting I'd tune in the low 30s for sure. Hit up Ryan for a design he knows his stuff and will get you bumping the right way....and welcome to the forum BTW!

I'm assuming those songs peak around 40 hz. I'm also assuming this is in a sedan and not as suv or truck. So your going to want to tune to 32-34 to peak in the mid 40s
