Why are some songs louder


Recommended Posts

I'm kinda new here and i think this is where this goes. I just upgraded my system again and ran into a problem. some songs that used to be loud on my old system arent any more. both the new box and old box were tuned the same and i cant figure out why some of the songs i used to love to play arent as loud. the usual jeezy and gorilla zoe songs still beat but songs like white girl, six 12's and most of my gucci mane are not as loud. is this something with the songs i have or is it somethin else?

are you sure your box is tuned to 30hz? was your old box prefab? because most prefab boxes are around 40-45hz if i remember right...

different settings on the HU? did you change the settings on the amp or is this just a direct swap out of subs and box?

Did you move your box? I remember when I moved my box a couple of foot away from the trunk rear, I loss that "kick" feel on my back during bass notes, but gained better SQ

well the box is a lil bigger than the last one. maybe 9 inches closer to the back door. that shouldn't make that big of a difference should it

well all of tht makes a huge difference. if you go from 2 12's to 2 15's there gunna get louder on different notes. not only lthat but even 2 diffent types of 12's will like different frequencies. plus! and this is what really made the difference your box is bigger! ported or sealed? if its prted its probably tuned different than before and even if you had a sealed box a bogger sealed box will sounds slightly different than the smaller one. which part of the box is closer to the door? is it the sub side? port side? that will make a difference. not so much if its not one of those though.

Edit: also almost forgot the amp. you changd amps so make sure you set your filters and gains correctly. different filter and Xover setting will change the sound slightly, simply becausew its recting to the frequencies differently
