EricR Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 ive never done a spl setup...yet. but of the ones ive seen id say between 38-44 hz. just depends on your vehicle/install. lots of trial and error Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

That'd be ya best bet on gettin some understanding! When you say SPL are you talking straight SPL application or do you want to play music? If you play music. Test tones work like the higher you tune the louder it goes.. heh. so higher resonate frequencey vehicles get higher scores up to like 70 hertz. But that doesnt play music for shit..

Guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 true, the higher you tune, the worse the musical output is, but the higher the tone burst output is. ex, a 30hz tuned box will bang at 35hz. you have a box tuned to 40hz, 35hz wont have any sound, just air.
