Tuning Question
|
Bronze Member Username: BassfiendPost Number: 21 Registered: Aug-06 | Alright I've seen this a few times: "I'm gonna tune my box to 35hz" (or 34hz or 32) What does this mean? Is it necessary? I'm just gonna get a Kicker ZX750.1 Mono Block Amp & a single Alpine Type 4 15" dual 4 ohm sub... With a vented box... So this isn't really pro, just daily driving... Any suggestions? Thank you...  |

Bronze Member Username: BassfiendPost Number: 22 Registered: Aug-06 | So what box size should I get for a single Type R 15" Dual 4 ohm running a 2 ohm load, using kicker zx750.1 amp? I have a 2003 Dodge Neon SE... If I go to my local car audio/video store can/will they build me a box? BTW: I want vented... |

Silver Member Username: BobimpactDanbury, CT US Post Number: 129 Registered: May-06 | We're getting anywhere between $150-$250 for vented boxes these days depending on the level of finish, the fanciness and the "craminess" (how much crap we have to take off of your car to make the box fit.) Your local shop (if they are refutable) will ALWAYS make a better sounding box than generic box from eBay. We computer model every box first, have better build quality than 95% of prefab makers and if it doesn't sound perfect, we rebuild it. I can't speak for your local, but we will almost always throw in fancy pants extras for our customers when they do a custom box with us. |
