brsteinbach Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Like the title says I regret tuning to 28hz but in a way I don't. I regret it because it isn't loud but on the other hand I don't because I love lows and it just kills them. It get's all the down to 22hz w/o distortion and shit and it gets all the way up to around 65hz but it's just a little on the quiet side. Anyone else ever tune this low and find out it's not really loud? But I was thinking about building a new box, same size (4.2^3) and tuning it to 32hz. Still kinda low but I still want to be able to get down. What do you guy's think about 32hz, and has anyone else had the same prob with tuning that low (28hz) and not getting loud? Oh and subs are in my sig.

Fish Chris Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 I hear you screamin.... Way back in the day, I had one of the old RF 18"s and I had it tuned to like 25hz ! Of course it dug deeper than $#!+ too..... Only problem was, at that point in time, their was very little music recorded with bass that low I remember I played the 3 or 4 tracks I had, that really showed off that enclosure > about 9 million times < until I was completely SICK of those tracks.... then started playing tracks that didn't sound so great > until I was completely sick of that enclosure / sub set up ! Nowadays, we have quite a few more choices of low bass music.... But even so, I often listen to "normal" balanced music too, where I need my subs to grab up to 80 or 90 hz, with authority. Actually, it's easy to explain what I'm after, "I want it all" !!! Just not so easy {read; cheap} to achieve. Peace, Fish

Torres Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 tune to 35-36hz and call it done.. tuning that low is stupid imo.. how much music really has notes that low? be real heredamn skippy! i'm tuned right in there and still get as low as i did when i was tuned to 30-31 hz. That my be but I love C&S music and my cousin is tuned to 35hz, has one 12 in a 2^3 box and it's really loud but does shitty as hell on the lows.does not mean the tuning was at fault. other parts of the install/box can come into factor here.
