OrenB217 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I want to get the best sound possible out of a 15" BTL on Sundown SAZ 2000, by still being able to hit lows very well. I just want it to be overall loud inside and out of the car. Should I tune my box to 32 hz (recommended by fi) or 34/35 hz? By the way, this is going to be a trunk car for a 4 door sedan. Let me know what would work best Black 1998 Nissan Maxima1st Setup: 145.8 DB Outlaw @37 HZ On Music Out Of Trunk2nd Setup: 147.8 DB @42 HZ On Music Out The TrunkCurrent Trunk Build:153.8 DB Outlaw @ 49 HZ Out the trunk (150.8 DB Sealed)Team gg.
Sp33dyG Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 35hz for good overall sound the only person i wouldnt let build my box would be Ray. Team Heavy-Flex4 SA 12's tuned to 29hz Ampere Audio 3800.1 @ 1 ohmXS Power D3100Big 3Stock alt
Boon Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 2hz ain't gonna make a flying turd worth of difference at the end of the day... 10.x volts fo' life!
EricR Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 3 cubes @ 34 hz 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?
OrenB217 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 i was thinking 4-4.5 cubes @ 32, 33, 34, 35 hz, but why a smaller box?

Torres Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 smaller boxes help yield higher output and power handling, althought you lose a little on the low end response. i'd tune to 35/36 hz. i used to tune around the 30's, and this current setup is tuned around 35/36 and i get just as good of a response on the lows, and overall better sound altogether.

EricR Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 just depends on your preference. if you would rather it be low low 4-4.5 would work but like expo said smaller boxes get louder while handling power better. 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?
Torres Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 yeah somewhere between 3-3.5 after displacement.. i think i had 4 cubes on my 15" btls. if i could do it again, i'd put them in a smaller enclosure. my 18's are in 4 cubes per sub right now and i'm a very happy camper.
