Nightshade Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 He said his score actually went down from the 12's, i went n herd his new setup today, sounds ALOT louder than the 12's but apparently the meter didnt think soNot completely the truth. I went back up after you left and I got a chance to play around on the meter. Here's the scenerio. I first did a best score of 149.7 at 52hz with the Nighshade 12's in my car. I then began to lose db's and ended up at a low score of a 148.1 with the 12's. I wasn't able to find out what the problem in the car was before I started the 15 build. I did a burp today and ended up with a 148.6 at 48hz and that is .5 up from my scores with the 12's right before I switched to the 15's. I played around on the TL a little bit and with the help of Steve and Chuck from Team High Excursion we found the right frequency in the car. The frequency was not 48hz but 42hz and the car did a 149.7 on the dash at 42hz. I still have to nail down the problem of why my score had dropped off origionally but overall as of now I'm up 1.6 db's from the last time I had the 12's metered in my car.So in conclusion I did a 149.7 at 42hz with an ongoing problem that I haven't found yet costing me 1.6 db's. So if I find out what's causing the problem I should easily see a 151.3 in my car how it sits now. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 goodluck so far im interested as to why the peak dropped so much u think the taller box makes the subs "think" the box is tuned lower and its using the hatch as an extension of the ports? very loud tho, id be happy with the results thus far, without knowing ur imp rise and mysterious drop in scores from the last time being metered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Sounds like you need to play with box tuning. I think there's more in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Sounds like you need to play with box tuning. I think there's more in it.There's definately more in it. I really just need to find out where my origional 1.6 db's that I lost with the 12's went first before I start playing with the tuning any. I do really like the way that it sounds being tuned to 38, and the peak of 42 is awesome for me to bassrace at. There are so many songs in that range that I can use and be good with. I forgot to say that I set a new world record in my class today. It was in the car 1801-3600 class with a 149.4 on Fred's meter with a backup score of a 149.3 The 149.7 was the number I did in testing with Steve and Chuck both holding on the windows and during the burp only Chuck held the window but not Steve. I need some of my teamates there to help me brace the windows and make my score jump up more. I hope I figure out the missing db's here very soon. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 looks nice. Mayber throw a 3rd baffle on the top of the box to counter sink the subs more. maybe youll see a slight rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
