port tuning? whats your opinion

[Craig28]

would tuning a box to 30-32 hz be good to hit lows on screwed music but still be good with regular music? im trying to decide on what to tune a box to if i decide to build a better one for my xxx 15.

its the older kind. i have a few options on what i could put it in. most likely gonna go in a van though man. i would wall it off if i had the money, but i dont.

id say 35hz would be a good choice. 30 would give you more emphasis on the lows but i think the XXX speaks for itself so it wouldn't be too much of an advantage tuning lower just less high bass

the box i have right now built is around 36. i just wanna build a new one because i hurried through the last one and did it half assed. i think somewhere between 30-32 will be good.

Basically everything 30hz and above will be the loudest, I mean like 30-37 not 30-5million. You'll be able to play the mid to high 20's but not like you're gunna play whatever you're tuned to and a little higher. Thats how it was explained to me atleast.

sorta depends on the vehicle and box size but ya your tuning frequency or sometimes a little higher is what you "peak" normally is. But the downside of tuning lower is lower spl. there's a point in every woofers output curve where tuning a few hz lower makes the peak lower but it doesn't make that freq louder if that makes sense.

As Mr. Emperor said, depends also on the box size, i wouldn´t tune under 35 hz if it´s a bix box with some nice power, if it´s a small box with a lot of power then yes i would tune around 32 hz, but having to listen c&s music all day long must be kind of boring bro, what´s the FS of those subs?

[k3n12ock]

The FS on my AQ is 38 and when my box was tuned to 32, the lows KILLED! I loved it but was talked into tuning to 36, which I did. It got just a bit louder, but the low lows weren't. Now my box is 38HZ, 32HZ sounds like ass now. Basically, if it's just a daily ground pounder type, do 32HZ. If you plan on competing, tune to 36+.

[fecupe2001]

That´s a high FS, didn´t know that, that sub should murder on the sensor
