stevh0 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 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 ?

roscoe1129 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 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 Quote Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

stevh0 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 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 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 sure get your ported frequency lower closer to 32-35hz and try a crx style box Quote Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

roscoe1129 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 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.

roscoe1129 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 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??
