Boon Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yeah your high-bass will seriously lack impact tuning that low. If you're gonna do it, low-pass it at 63hz or lower and you better have the midbass from hell. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really. Tuning around 28hz is be the lowest i would go.

cichlidfort Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I just built a box that is 29 hz. The box I had before was 35-36 hz and I am debating if I should put it back in. My 29 hz box does't pick up highs nearly as much. It's a tossup. Lows are nice but you to have some serious power to really get loooow.

Boon Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 The last few boxes I have built I've ended up doing a free-space tuning of 40hz or higher. You put them in a car and load the subs and ports off the air in the car and a couple of surfaces and they'll play way below 'tuning' without a hitch and you get way better output because you have the freedom to use larger ports. My DD9515 in a 3 cube box tuned to 42hz played 29hz very very loud, was just in a small car and loaded well off the roof... Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
