OldsBoomer Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 personlly i wouldn't go any higher and why dont you try to have a sub up port up box, and add another half cube maybe. i've seen a sub up port up set up in a S-10 and it sounded great Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonite Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 do an interchangeable port so that you can tune it low for daily and high for competition Quote DC SOUND LAB NUT HUGGERCurrently Own 4 - 18" lvl 6s (m3) w/full Carbon Fiber option 2 - DC 5k lvl 4 motor lvl 2 motor On 8/2/2013 at 8:13 PM, n8ball2013 said: this is much worse.

Hostility Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 do an interchangeable port so that you can tune it low for daily and high for competition i dont do comps. just want a loud daily. and i was told port side was best, and if i port up i dont want to hear port noise. is there anyone that can desgin a box that will perform better then i the one i made? or any shops or designers that can for money? i think steve is a little busy to do one for me.

Team Bassick - Kimo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Personally I like a sealed enclosure for a good all around sound. However, a ported box is a more effecient and can sound just as good if not better than a sealed box if done right. The suggestion of sub up and port up probably will give you the best sound and be loud as well. If you liked your selaed enclosure sound better and wanted to just get louder you could always add two more 10's.......

If you got port noise then thats bad but, if you got good sound and your moving a lot of air well thats good. It really depends on tuning and the opening of the box. I hate to sound like sales man for aero ports/flared ports but, its what I've used lately and its fairly easy to tune with. For an every day box i'd run 2 4" flared full length with everything firing up. the flared ports cut down on port noise.

The Performer Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Do what you really want to do, but the fact of the matter is most daily drivers are tuned at around 32hz because that's a good clean low response, and your main midrange bass will be determined by your components. Your friend might be right, you probably are missing alot of peak at your higher notes, however if his background to that statement is based on him doing competitions, then of course he's going to be looking for that high 40hz peak. If it was me I'd go with a low 32hz, but since it's not then you do what you want, you gotta ask yourself what do you want to enjoy from your music when you're driving around.
