memphisBred Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Is your box already built? That's kind of how I read it. Quote SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I would say 35hz, because thats the general best frequency to hit almost all the notes of most rap music these days, will play down nicely to 26~hz and up to 44hz pretty nicely.. also if that 6.5 cubes before displacement or after, i was told 5.5 cubes is the perfect size for my level 5 18s after displacement Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

mase:) Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 no the box is not built yet that was just a design. my box design now is 5.7cuft after displacement tuned to 34.5 hz. how does that sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub7Banger Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I heard straight from Rob (Thorshammer) when I was ordering my Level 5 18 that they sound the best in a 5.5cube box after all displacement. However, I couldn't get a freq from him because he said he just tunes by TL, and adjusts the port to where he wants it on the TL. Quote Warning, you are taking advice from a noob with 0 install experience at this point, any advice I give is strictly based on information gathered via the intrawebz and lots of forum surfing over a period of 2 months If you are considering buying a DC Level 5, do it. Don't think about it, just do it. It'll work. go to lowes get bricks wait in yard. throw said brick at vehicle. If thats me and that just happened to me Im going looking for him after that. 1. Goto lowes 2. Get some bricks 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!! Profit from everything. LOVE ideas like this. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
