Yellow1000 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So after a few months of playing with different boxes, I'm stuck on something. I can't get them to hit in the low 30s like I want. Nice smooth and deep bass. The vehicle is a Ford Escape. All my boxes end up in the high 30s- low 40s. Which has been great as far as use on all music, yes I listen to everything literally. But I want like T line style low lows out of them also. Is it even possible or am I wasting time ? We're these not designed to play super low super loud?

Triticum Agricolam Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Whats the specs on your box? Net volume, port area, & tuning. With the proper box you should be able to get good low frequency output out of those subs.

Yellow1000 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Let me double check them. I don't recall right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow1000 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 The box is right at 2.9 cubes overall, with 29 inches or port length I think. Single chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 OK, can you measure what your port area is? Width & height.

Joe X Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 OP I think a whole sketch of the box would be best "2.9 overall" I don't understand if it's external volume? net volume? BTW, the sub should be able to play the lows, if you get the lows at low volume but not at higher volume it may be low port area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebirdude Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Big box. Long port. Dunzo. Taint rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow1000 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I believe my port is 12x3? I'll have to check it. It's pouring right now though. Anyone got some box suggestions? The ones I tried were basically JL spec boxes , I got the specs from a guy there I cslled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 JL specs I believe tune you to 35 hz. If you tune lower (like 30 Hz or so) that should help with the lows. What amp are you using?

Yellow1000 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I used a new p1000 Rockford , and currently im using a kicker 750 X1. Birth sheet says 941@2 ohms. I assume that's enough power to keep these happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
