Jessica Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Kyle I'm at around 130 for 4 12's you might need more area. But I'm not loud so what to do?

But if it sounds good to you and others and we know it puts up good numbers do you really need more? There would only be one way to find out if you'll benefit and I'm guessing that means tearing your wall apart or at least cutting the baffle to find out. Guess you have to look at if it's worth it too you to find out. Would suck if you did it and it wasn't better or isn't as loud. I say if you're happy with it and clearly your subs are happy with it leave it as is. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Krakin Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Just remember that having that angle doesn't mean that you created more usable port area, you may have allowed some stupid eddie currents to be created actually hurting you overall. I don't know that for sure since I don't have the specs of your entire system, but I have seen those situations occur before with fluids outside audio.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

I say if you're happy with it and clearly your subs are happy with it leave it as is. I can gain 1.5db easy just by taking 3cubes from the box,.. Did that last year, .. and didnt like the sound,... and pulled it out. But, if i can keep the playability, gain cooling, and gain on the meter, .. ill do whatever it takes... A few quick cuts,.. new port baffle, add some mud,..spray it with rocket liner, done..... I just dont want to make it worse. I do like how it plays now, but,....... like everything, and others, im looking to learn, and,.. move forward on my own terms. Like i said,. if i just wanted loud... hell.. i have close to 2db just sitting in the box volume. But, my peak will rise..... which helps with my 45hz of vehicle res, that i fight now. Im looking at other ish... if ya feel me.. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive also seen a few hundered ports doing the same thing. Meades included in the DGAF. Then again, his is a burper... dunno if that matters... but i feel ya.

Krakin Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Before you do anything new I would write down everything you know about your system, that goes from outputs at a range of frequencies down to the position of each sub. You could even go into temperature, humidity, altitude and many other environmental conditions as these things will affect scores as well.

Not as full retard as burp or tone people, which I still have utmost respect for, but... I know my gear and my build. Basically slept in that thing. But, I don't understand some things. And hell, I wanna try to. It's fun. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
