type R 15s (need more help)

[Jared420]

everything hits very hard low but the only dissappointment is my higher bass. Is it a tuning issue with my box or maybe the lpf on the amp? The very high bass barely hits for example in the song I Put On by jeezy the first bass tone barely hits then it drops to the 2nd and that hits very hard it drops to the 3rd lower one and it hits harder and crazy and then it bottoms off with the very very last low note and it still hits hard and loud but just bass like that first not isn't really there. According to the calculators I used for the box it is tuned to 32 HZ should it still hit the highs good or should I have tuned higher?

I will try and get a few videos up possibly tomorrow which might help you guys see what I mean but does anyone have any ideas or somewhat understand what I am talking about?

Problem is....You are coming from a sealed box which will hit the high notes better than a ported one tuned to 32. But yes if you have your LPF set too low then you won;t get higher freq bass from them. Set it around 80hz or so.

Set your sub sonic filter on your amp or you will go through those subs pretty fast. And if there getting stinky off "700"wrms which in reality is prob more like 600wrms then chances are your clipping the hell out of your amp so turn the gain down.

The subsonic is set to somewhere around 20 and the lpf is set to what i think it pretty close to 80 , its hard to get an exact number because the numbers on the subsonic are at min 5 i think and then the only other reference point is at max and thats 50 so I have it set about halfway and the lpf goes from 20-200 this is set a little under halfway.

Where should the subsonic be set to? i dont want to ruin the brand new subs. As far as clipping i dont really understand fully what clipping is or what it does to a sub

any suggestions for the subsonic?

subfonic should be 3ish hz below box tuning...no its not normal to smell them either my brand new hertz subs dont smell at all, my brand new type r 10 doesnt smell either

most likely if it smells you have something cranked to high

alright thanks yea i think i may have gotten a little greedy with the gain knob, im gonna turn it down on the amp so i cant go too far.

OK i am bringing back this thread to ask a little more advice. I feel like I am getting the hang of everything a little better and have a decent grasp on alot of the basics of sound systems. Like I said this is the loudest setup I have had to date , and although I am satisfied Im still not satisfied. I dont exactly have that slamming bass that Ive been hoping for but I feel like Im decently close to getting there. I have already decided I will be doing a rebuild in the spring. Ok so there are probably about 50 people on here that are gonna wanna say I TOLD YOU SO!!!! but Ive given it some though and Im gonna say F#$K the backseat. Its comming out and Im building a huge normal rectangle ported box.

Equipment I want to use,

AQ2200

2 15'' type rs (possibly 3, i will explain)

Big 3 0 gauge

switch my power and ground to 0 gauge

Good battery in the back.

Now here are the questions.

My box will be able to be about 12-14 cuft before any displacement. Will this be too big to run 2 15's and would I be better off with a 3rd (they are dual 4 ohm subs so 3 could be wired to .67 i believe) so I would have a ton of airspace and a decent amount of power to 3 subs, or a good amount of power and at least 12cuft for 2 15s.

I figured I would just put it in this thread instead of starting a whole new one. I wanna start doing my research now so i can get things squared away on this one because it will be somewhat legit instead of squeezing a weird shaped box with underpowered woofers and a box that is way on the small side. This time i gotta do it better more power more airspace bigger port area.
