the truth about bass!

[craniumcrackinbassv2]

i have been trying to do my research on sound waves and how they work. thing is im coming up empty due to my lack of knowledge on car audio and how sound frequencies move about the cabin. my goal is to give people watery eyes and that hard to breath effect when the bass hits. i have gone through many ideas for my system, and what i really want to do is face them forward with the port forward with the trunk sealed off( like i said in a previous post ) but like i said i want HARD hitting bass, bass you wouldnt expect from 2 12's. the question is how to i go about doing this? do i measure out the entire cabin from the front windshield to where the box will be then from door to door? what do i do to achieve these goals?!? please help!

It's pretty simple really... Get yourself two 12's.. Two 15's if possible... Seal them off from the trunk.

Then throw as much power at them as you can. Oh, and tune your box to about 38hz.

You have to consider upgrading your electrical when running more than 1500rms . You need to get about 3 batts in the trunk. N upgrade front batt. Then you need to upgrade your alternator at a certain point. So it's just not subs box and amp.

It's gonna get expensive ...

and some sound deadening to retain a lot of that bass.

Personally that hard to breath affect has come from over 150 db at anywhere between 33hz-43hz. Now getting that out of a trunk will be difficult it takes ALOT of power and air moving. and for lower frequecnies then travel farther needing more distance to travel to get the full wave to complete. its going to have to deal with your box ALOT. get think of how water flows and go from there

if im going to do something im going to do it right lol, i have all the electrical down pact and the batteries thats all taken care of. i just want to know the science behind it all, because one system might sound different is 2 different cars so that tells me that there has to be something else behind it.

38hz? i highly doubt he'd be happy with the setup except for his TL numbers with that kind of tunning.

tune to 32 and make them loose bowel control

ok but isnt it possible for something to sound loud but not hit a high score on a meter? SPL and loundness are 2 totally different things are they not?

if it is the EXACT(impossible but you get my drift) and it sounds different then that has to deal with cabin gain of the particular vehicle. The shape of the inside of a vehicle will effect the sound of the system greatly
