New to Tuning: kicker cvr's in kicker "livin loud" ported box

New member Username: Zacritz929Somewhere in, Ohio USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Aug-06 | Ok.. Im new to "tuning" subwoofer with their enclosures and I need a little help. Like the title says, I have 2 CVRs(2ohm) in the ported kicker livin loud box. I have heard people talk about tuning enclosures to match the subs and I have no idea what this means. I know that the subs are 38HZ.. Does this mean that my amp should be set at 38HZ?? If someone could jump in and tell me basic info about tuning and help me with my setup Id appreciate it! Thanks |

While you are there bookmark it and read more if you want. it is a great site. |

Most people that buy the kicker pre fabbed box loader are newbie's who are Bass heads. No offense at all I am not being a D!CK it's just who they are geared toward. The higher you tune a box the louder the box will be in the upper freq range. It is much easier to hit high #'s higher in the freq range then lower. |

I actually have 4 of these subs but for now they are going to be in seperate boxes.. I got the preloaded box off of ebay for only $75 which is a steal. the ad on ebay said the subs were blown but i just wanted the ported enclosure but when it came in the mail everything looked brand new and the subs are in fine working condition. I think my subsonic filter goes to 15 or 25.. What would be an ideal setting? higher or lower? |
