Tuned to 28hz and Regret It, In a Way

What subs does your cousin have?

An Orion hp12d4.

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

Glad someone knows how I fell.

well thats u but i can stand to listen to chopped and screwed all day.. for a good musical box tune her at 35-36 and itll still dip the lows well.. atleast all mine have

I may just have to tune to 35 because it may be that it's his type of sub. Thanks Eric.

does not mean the tuning was at fault. other parts of the install/box can come into factor here.

Yea but I'm just confused because we have the exact same cars. He even has a class D amp don't know if that makes a difference compared to my class AB.

What else could be at fault? I do think his sub is more of a comp sub though.

the whole box styling could be different. his sub/port back? the sub mounted too close to the port opening? his amps tuned properly? things like that

Same box style slot port, sub and port back and the sub is about 4 or 5 inches away from the port. I think my sub thats next to the port is about 3" away.

Port area is about the same too.

Ok cool, good to know. Now I have to 3 peoples opinion on 35hz. Also I forgot about Bigpimpin, He's tuned to 34hz and gets way down.

hmmm...would be somethin that would have to be checked out in person if it came down to it. his SSF might be set awkward too

Thanks for helping, His amp is kinda old so his SSF may be a little awkward.
