tune of a seal box??

[Rotten]

nooooob question, cant really find a cut and dry answer, so here it goes...

i have two 10" fosgate p3's playing in (give or take just a little) 1.6'.... followed the box advisor on thier site, is my F3 what i should be "tuned" at?

witch would be a HIGH ASS 51hz

thanks for the help

There is no tuning a sealed box

for a Qtc, you would generally want it to be at about .707 for a "balanced" output between quality and loudness.

Tuning a sealed box is just a matter of changing the size, depends on Vas, QTS, and Fs of the driver. A good box calculator would have options for sealed boxes as well.

F3 is 51Hz on those subs? wow. my midbass are tuned lower than that.

.707 is butterworth

there is also, linkwitz riley, chebyshev, bessel and brickwall...multiple ways to tune an enclosure depending on your goals

wait a min.... im an idiot.... im thinking that 51hz might have been what the sub likes when in the recomended .7 ft... ???

lists fs @ 29.... that seems closer to what it oughta be.

I was going to say...my subs only play to 35Hz...my midbass play 51hz with gusto all day long. 51hz is easy for earbuds...if you want it tuned lower make the enclosure larger...probably about .95 for a 40Hz F3
