BboyTaktix Posted September 25, 2010 Report Posted September 25, 2010 hey guys, I've been searching for a while and can't find the thread/threads that answer my question (i know it's been answered on here somewhere though) I used Torres' calculator to figure out my box tuning frequency for my 2 12's. Now my question is what do I tune my amp to in comparison to the box frequency? The calculator gives me a box tuning frequency of just over 31Hz, if that makes sense. So what frequency to tune my amp at? I'll be DMM'ing my amp tomorrow to the right power for my subs as well. (I don't have an oscilloscope but I wish I did)thanks!

Ji553r Posted September 25, 2010 Report Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) are you talking about multiplying your desired power by ohm load then sqaure rooting with the DMM? and are you talking about the sub sonic filter for your amp?

BboyTaktix Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Posted September 25, 2010 are you talking about multiplying your desired power by ohm load then sqaure rooting with the DMM? and are you talking about the sub sonic filter for your amp? I'm saying that if my BOX tuning frequency is about 31Hz (given by torres' calculator), what should my subsonic freq. and crossover freq. be set at? (there is 1 knob for each of these on the amp, and amp is clarion DPX11551) And what about 'bass boost' frequency? If I set my bass boost at 0 then does it matter what the bass boost frequency is at? I'm assuming it doesn't matter. Thank you.

Thank you. its up to you i would set mine anywhere from 24-27 and low pass around 8 0. yes keep bass boost at 0 and no it doesnt matter what freq boost it is if its not on Edited September 26, 2010 by Ji553r Quote I don't fuck around.

BTW low pass is subsonic and crossover is 24-27 correct? sorry for the dumb questions, just trying to get everything straight here...thanks again Quote 2018 Golf R - Stealth SQ system build - C508GTI front (active), 2x Pioneer Z10LS4, Zapco DSPZ8, Clarion DPX11551 (Mono amp), Pioneer GM-D8604 (front stage amp), Pioneer GM-A3702 (rear fill amp) SOLD! 2011 Subaru STI - 'modest' passive sq system - JBL p660c component (front) JBL P662 (rear) JBL W10GTI (sealed enclosure) 4ch JBL GO1004 (150RMSx4), Clarion DPX11551 mono amp (+-1200RMS@3ohms)
skittlesRgood Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 i would set SS at 28. LFP at 80 is a good number to start with.

BTW low pass is subsonic and crossover is 24-27 correct? sorry for the dumb questions, just trying to get everything straight here...thanks again no, they are both crossover settings. SS is the lowest frequency, lpf is the highest. its basically a bandpass crossover. Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

BboyTaktix Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Posted September 26, 2010 Cool. Both questions answered. And thx skittles for clarifying.

Ji553r Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 off topic but do you have any vids of you b boying? Quote I don't fuck around.

BboyTaktix Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) off topic but do you have any vids of you b boying? Lol no unfortunately nothing recent. Been b-boying for about 11 years now though. Dunno if you've heard of crews like illmatic styles and fresh format outta Montreal, Qc, but I usually practice with those guys and a bunch of others here. Good times. I'm sure I'll eventually get some footage of practice and post them up here under off-topic videos.
