Louder Boom!

[stevh0]

hey Guys ,

Ive recently sold my 4 15's and now my one single voice coil Digital designs 1015a is back in.

the current box is 4.8cu ft tuned to around 38-40hz with a slot port on the right side in my toyota starlet .

sub is facing back and so is the port .

The box is about as big as it will go to get in there

it plays nice , it goes low , it goes loud .

but i want it louder now ..

amp is a ice power 8000D - around 1500w Rms

what should i do ?

What 15''s did you have before?

[roscoe1129]

put the box so both port and sub are up...no new box there and if it works great if not flip it back over

had starsound woofers previously , 4 of them .

roscoe, ive dried that , id doesnt seem to get pressure that way .

seems to hit harder hitting off the reflex of the boot .

any other ideas?

maybe tuning?

[roscoe1129]

sure get your ported frequency lower closer to 32-35hz and try a crx style box

[roscoe1129]

also you could try just slightly reducing your box size by .5 or so cubes for more output. Your amp will work a little harder though.

nah , small box doesnt work well , doesnt go low and boomy ...

[roscoe1129]

so you just want it louder for regular play not spl comps....gotcha

[stevh0]

u reckon 32hz will work betteR?

well alot of the music today (rap r&b hip hop.) is tuned lower than years past where the poular frequencies were closer to the 40's hz range so if you tune lower it should help. Steve any input from the king??
