SPL808 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm running a 2400 watt hifonics brute series amp....and I'm very opened minded about music....old school rock, reggae, rap, country ect. But mainly when I turn it up I just look for a song with good bass notes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPL808 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 what kind of boxes have you tried??? All slot ported....I'm thinking on dropping the frequency lower now that I've looked throughout this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecupe2001 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 well, what kind of music you like the most? i also asked you about your old boxes so i can have an idea on how that sub perform on those box sizes, i´ve never designed something for that sub, but, something like 2.5 - 3 cubic feet and 38-45 SQ of port with a 35 hz tuning should play very nice!!
