Sniper Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 Hello all, im currently building a box for an SSD 15 i'm buying from a fellow member of our SMD forums, I have built a box measuring 22x19x17, I want to know what I should tune it to however, I dont know a good frequency to tune to, I just what something that will slam hard without overdoing it (its gonna get 500w rms per coil, hopefully that will get it moving ) , I just want to know what will push some air and get loud, presumably a tuning frequency to utilize how much air its able to push... cant think of the name for it as of this minute... but er yea, what should I tune it to peoples? Quote 1997 Pontiac Grand Am SE Broke stock Head Unit Stock speakers suck -if I get a job, it gets 2 SA 8s in a 2.5cube box (roughly 2 cube with the port and woofers in)- -oh, and a new HU and some speakers that dont suck. and possibly a new muffler and tint job (previous owners tint is smudging in the back, if you know how to get tint off a window without damaging the heating stuff, let me know!!!)-

01xtreme Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 I would prefer closer to 30 than 35, myself. 30-32 or so.

Sniper Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) so does that mean I should go for 33Hz then? also, I listen to your stuff a lot Bigpimpin91, this is how I dropped the picture in the hall >.> (that was when I was running 2 15s, 2 12s and 2 10s [ 2 BOSS SPL 15s (riot I think), 2 Lightning Audio P4.12.4 (they're good starters), 2 MTX Audio T.6000 10s (excellent subs) (just figured I'd tell you ) -- a little bit later -- (edit) I did the calculation on 33hz for my massive 3.74 cuft box (its big for me because it was for my original 8s when I built it XD) and I came up with a solution of how im building the slot port, but first I need to ask if it sounds right to you height - 3 width - 20 vent length - 23.31 Edited September 29, 2008 by Sniper Quote 1997 Pontiac Grand Am SE Broke stock Head Unit Stock speakers suck -if I get a job, it gets 2 SA 8s in a 2.5cube box (roughly 2 cube with the port and woofers in)- -oh, and a new HU and some speakers that dont suck. and possibly a new muffler and tint job (previous owners tint is smudging in the back, if you know how to get tint off a window without damaging the heating stuff, let me know!!!)-

lamchop_8 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I'd do 32hz. Its keeps you in the good low note range high note ranges as well. Think about it. Then again its your setup so 33hz.-34hz. is cool too I dont recommend nothing above it. Fi generally Recommends 33hz. so do what you do but heres my 20 + 2 cents . Quote Very Very Soon 2 Come???
