Hey guys, this is my first post over here at ecoustics. I frequent CA.com quite a bit, but I feel that I will get more support over here with my box decision.
I will be powering this sub with an Orion 2500D in a CLK 430 trunk.
My max dimensions for this sub is:
15.5H x 35W x 21D
I would like for this sub to be used as a daily, musical sub that will get very loud (which I have already determined) when the need arrives.
I primarily listen to a lot of Electronic music (break beats, D&B, progressive house) and also a lot of rock, metal and alternative(TOOL most of time, double kick stuff).
My biggest problem I have had with ported boxes is the group delay of blending the quick changing bass frequencies together.
My first thought is to tune REALLY low, around 28-30hz, and build the box between 3.5-3.7 cu.
hmmm maybe a little bit bigger of a box say 4.0 cubes and tuned a tad higher I think 32-34hz would be good. you never called me man. =( but sorry I didn't give you a real answer on ca.com. I think when I was pming you I was in a transe from lack of sleep. =(
man there is a 3x dbdrag event up here in farmington in august. you coming?
I know hunter, I just didn't want to bug you with the busy weekend. I will give you a buzz soon. Do you think 32-34 might be too high? Remember, I just don't want any group delay, that is my biggest concern.
And John yes, 15.5 will be just enough, but I could go 16H if need be.
you wouldn't be bugging me bro. I love talking audio. =)
man its hrd to say. but tuning that low just makes me wonder about the upper freqs....ill jump on bassboxpro6 tonight and see what I can come up with. it shows group delay lol. =) and ill shoot you some ideas.
