solosickness Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 Hey everyone, just got done building and installing my 10 cube ft box my goal was 35hz, im pretty sure i accedentally tuned it lower, consitering the hardest hitting song i bang is...dj billie e beats for my van, witch is super low.... ****can anyone tell me what freq the beats are on that song?**** cuz thats what my port screams bass at. think i tuned it lower due too an internal brace behind the port, pretty positive thats what it is. anyways, im thinkin bout rebuilding it, only too brace it better. Im a big fan of lows, and got more then I barganed for lol. and solos are not recommended to be ported at less then 35hz, i just dont wanna stress my sub...done heated her up 2-3 times, but im quick to know when enuff is enuff. do lower freq's travel farther? cuz i know tuning it high make it louder too the ear.

rmzsuzuki89 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 I always thought the lows were louder to the ear. I know higher is louder on the mic. My Feedback Thread http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/103868-official-rmzsuzuki89-feedback-thread/page__pid__1441542#entry1441542

Torres Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 how much port area do you have? depending how much, if you want more lows i'd lessen the amount of port area a lil bit
Andrew2944r Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 Sub might be heating up because of clipping issues. 10 cubes if its after disp is alot for a 18" on 4k watts. Team Ampere Audio
solosickness Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Posted October 31, 2009 how much port area do you have? depending how much, if you want more lows i'd lessen the amount of port area a lil bit i have the exact box reccomended by kicker for the suv box, 10 cubes 150 sq in port right on the golden ratio, but the brace behind the port tuned it lower i think....at 35hz what songs should bang hardest?

Andrew2944r Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 That big of a box and that much power you need to run smaller port area to control the sub better. I run a little over 21k watts and run 3 18's in a 24 cube box and my port area is 245 sq in. All depends on what your trying to do in the long run, but I bet the lows sound really good.
