Inetba Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 I found a basic calculator (very basic) and it seems the bigger the box, the lower the F3. So with a 7 cubic foot box, that would lower the f3 to 24 hz. Isn't a 7 cubic foot box too big for a single 18 though?
SnowDrifter Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Truth be told I wouldn't worry about f3 in box tuning calculators. Once you put it in the vehicle that goes out the windowFor example... On paper my tuning is 26. Shouldn't be able to play below 23-24But I can play 20 without much issue ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

Dewayne89 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 My 18 is in 7cf and called for 8 and no less than 6 but it's a RE
Inetba Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 SnowDrifter, that video with the microfiber towel was INCREDIBLE. I've never seen anything like that!
SnowDrifter Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Haha thanks man. You'll get a kick out of this then Same songs, team mate's car ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Inetba Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 You can actually see on the second song when it hits tuning because it looks like the subs aren't moving! Incredible. You guys are causing me so much conflict! I've always wanted a ground pounder build and typically they're lots of cone area with lots of power. I always thought 18s were the easiest way to achieve this, but that last video was just nuts!

You guys are causing me so much conflict! I've always wanted a ground pounder build and typically they're lots of cone area with lots of power. I always thought 18s were the easiest way to achieve this, but that last video was just nuts! that is actually due to frame rate and how the camera shutter is working. Stop looking @ t/s parameters, the box is what will make the sub play low, period. The T/S might give you an idea of what box to put it in, but performance comes from the box. For lows like stated, look for 10" spider subs with a good amount of motor force, and tune relatively low. Tuning below 29-30 is pointless in my opinion, and tuning @ 18 is a waste.

Inetba Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 Rodger that, I'll start looking at subs with 10" spiders (or close to it.)
