Integra_boomer Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 hey what do you guys think i should tune the box for my 15" BL? The sub will have 4-4.25 cu ft of airspace and il only be running about 800rms to the sub. I want something that will smash lows but also get loud at comps.. also it will be slot port. of all the boxes i have made a peak around 42-45 hz in my car.

chapo123 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 im loving 35hz right now. suprised me with how low it got. and it gets loud too Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to anyone on what to tune your box to. Its trail and error. Every driver/enclosure is going to act different in a different evironment. My box is tuned to 26....but plays flat all the way into the high 40's. Id say just tune lower til you get what you like.
