Silver Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 811 Registered: Feb-06 | Trey, Y go sealed for Rap?? Sealed has better SQ, and would prolly b a better choice for Rock and stuff with quick drums, snares, etc. I'd port it facin the rear. Removin the back speakers does help alot, dependin on the size. My caddy had a 12" hole adn it makes a huge diff. with the factory sub removed. Lots of airflow comes thru |

Bronze Member Username: PitbullguyChi Town Post Number: 80 Registered: Oct-06 | i like rap but i like alotta other stuff too; some techno, classic rock, metal, r&b...definitely don't want a setup good for only one kinda music. |

Bronze Member Username: PitbullguyChi Town Post Number: 81 Registered: Oct-06 | Chauncey can you put that in newbie terms? take a subs "Fs" and divide it by the "Qes" ?? wtf does that mean |
|
Silver Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 814 Registered: Feb-06 | according to chauncey's tip its like 56.???? so u could do both. |

Silver Member Username: UdaiPost Number: 214 Registered: Dec-04 | A ported setup can work well with with those types of music, but is a tiny bit more involved as far as box building goes. Personally I like the sealed boxes more, mostly because of the smaller size of the box. And this is just a personal opinion- but I also prefer sealed for techno/ trance. In the setups ive heard ported boxes were a little bit boomy. Now for the people that are going to reply with "OMFG NUBE YOU AINT HERD SH1T YOE MY SETUP PWNU," please save it.. i dont care. |

Bronze Member Username: PitbullguyChi Town Post Number: 82 Registered: Oct-06 | well between SQ and SPL i think ill lean towards SQ since i really do listen to alotta different music. So...sealed right? |
|
Silver Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 816 Registered: Feb-06 | I'd say sealed then for the SQ. If you change your mind you can always do a ported tuned around 33, not too big of a port.. should sound nice either way. I'm not sure how AAs sound, best way to be sure is try both. All subs are different. |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 10199 Registered: Jul-05 | specs...fs and qes can be found when looking at the specs of a sub |
|
Bronze Member Username: PitbullguyChi Town Post Number: 84 Registered: Oct-06 | yeah, figured that out right after i asked  |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86OG eCoustics Member Post Number: 8747 Registered: Aug-05 | EBP for the win. i use that on everysub i look at. lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: PitbullguyChi Town Post Number: 85 Registered: Oct-06 | what is EBP mr. muddy sir? |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassIRL Post Number: 645 Registered: May-06 | If QTS below 50 go sealed. 50 - 70 = either way >70 = ported. QTS above 70 = sh:tty driver LMFAO Just go sealed if you don't want "yo" style sloppy, boomy response SEALED RULZZZ Another thing IMHO rap = not music. If you want to listen to rap just take a test CD and put 50hz on repeat , come up with lyrics yourself. Well there are a few other rules when you want to listen to rap: your trunk absolutely MUST rattle your car has to be falling apart you should not have any mids (just some distorted half way blown highs will do) your box has to be ported (well bandpass would be the ultimate) your setup must include some "bad arss" 6x9's prefferably laying down on the rear deck (5x7's will not get you respect on the street ) your amps must be "bling" (Audiobahn will do) your highs MUST be powered off the HU >50% of the system must be bought on the street You are set |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86OG eCoustics Member Post Number: 8765 Registered: Aug-05 | i agree more so with Maris'. however, i am talking about the EBP result, and not the QTS...although QTS can help as well. i was told a driver higher than a QTS of .4 would do better sealed. and anything lower does better ported. it is more fine tuned. i have seen drivers recommended for Ported that hat ~70 so i go with his. Chauncey's is more general, but can still give you a very good idea of what box to put the sub in. btw, LMFAO Maris. |

Bronze Member Username: PitbullguyChi Town Post Number: 86 Registered: Oct-06 | "IMHO rap = not music"....your "humble"(LOL) opinion just became pretty worthless. As someone who listens to almost every different kind of music i think that's pretty narrow minded, and frankly, stupid. Fs 23.1 / Qes .41 = 56 I think i'm goin sealed. i certainly dont want a setup that only suits hip/hop music. besides sealed boxes are cheaper for the most part |
