Gold Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey 15 inch Alph... Post Number: 1290 Registered: Jun-07 | 3.5 cubes tuned to 38 hz 2 slot ports  i might be adding another one though chad hehehe idk yet. but im def down on being in the club lol |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 18799 Registered: Oct-05 | why do you guys tune so high? was talking to kevin holden and he tuned his around that high also. i had mine tuned to 33hz. i liked it but thought it could be lower so i made the port a bit longer to bring the tuning down to 30hz. now it has awesome flat response. |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 18800 Registered: Oct-05 | well i don't listen to too much bass songs. mainly jazz, blues, and some r & b. that is when i am not listening to my avril or heavy metal. with this lower tuned box, you get a real warm and low rumbling bass. the bass guitar sounds perfect and doesn't peak through the subs. i really love it. i did however lose a bit of out put on bass songs. but it still hits. i was listening to "get buck in here" earlier today and it hit. i added that piece in red you see in the pic below.  |

Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2287 Registered: Jun-04 | 3.5 32hz ... 146 flat adding another and a 3250.... 260 amp alt ... 8 cubes to 32 hz upfiring my hatch ... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8154 Registered: Jun-04 | I would say poly line it (in sheet form) for even better sq but youd probably have to remove the port length you just added to keep a 30 hz tune |

|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 18861 Registered: Oct-05 | bass race of course. out here in cali its all about the bassrace. |

Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 3307 Registered: Nov-04 | nice. now I am curious as to what the project is. dbdrag isn't too big around here. but I think soon the new mexico audio scene is going to pick up. there is a usaci event in april and maybe a dbdrag event following it soon. you could come out here for that. =) it will be fun. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Lagrange, GA USA Post Number: 1637 Registered: Mar-06 | Chad, I am trying to get ahold of a used Coke astro van for $500. If I do, then I may do a nice wall of 18's for bassrace/street beat myself. As of now though, the Alpha is holding it down hehe. I am looking at 2 Sonance 15's in the Edge before Spring Fling in 2 weeks. I am sure that will get a little loud Kevin PS: Your drawing of the sub in the box looks like a tea pitcher lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: TeamrevolutionATLANTA, GA USA Post Number: 232 Registered: May-07 | "PS: Your drawing of the sub in the box looks like a tea pitcher lol." WTF, LOL only kevin would say something like that. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 18896 Registered: Oct-05 | lol. sup guys. i must say man now that the sub is breaking in even more, the output is insane and the sq is just getting better. i will have vids up this weekend. its fukkking loud. |

|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam RD, Texas Post Number: 2346 Registered: Mar-07 | I wish my dustcap looked that good...... |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 18908 Registered: Oct-05 | compare to the mag i think the alpha out performs it. not by much though. it is definately louder. |
