So the guy who built my box for me made it 33hz and everyone is telling me I should have gone 38hz because it will be louder. In reality, just how much difference is actually noticeable between 5hz?
great news! thanks! I went with 1200 watts because of my stock electrical (didn't want to upgrade yet). I hope I can still be pretty loud with only 1200 watts. :S
I installed my friends hd315 in a small enclosure because he wanted a little bass before his new box would come in. Well, the box was too small and tuned to low, low 30's. And it sounded like crap. IMO, that sub can't be tuned that low, it sounds so much like crap i was pissed. Well, once he got his new box in 3.8cuft @ 38hz or so, it made a huge difference.
Now if the thread question was: "How do you suck dick?", all of you could offer some expert opinions. But it doesn't ask that, it asks a technical question, so all you nOObs need to stfu and gtfo
if u been around systems a while & ur ears r still good , a 5hz difference is alot
depends on the sub since some subs dont perform on too low tuning like DD for example where as others like type R or RE susb sound IMO like crap tuned high
geneally speaking higher tuned = louder but u lose some quality ...
had a pair of those & i def wuld not cross more than 38hz since u lose the SQ , for SQL 35hz ,for SQ i had mine to 32hz & that sh!t got loud & hit all the lows tripping off alarms even when i tried em in a sealed box too ...
The only reason I asked is because I currently have my 2 12"s in a box tuned to 35hz before sub displacement and I'm pretty happy with it, but i wanted to get a little louder and really only rap or anything else with low bass sounds really good. I lose a lot of bass in like rock music, so I was thinking about tuning to 37hz with aeros. you dont think it will lose too much SQ and sound like trash do you?
Well I contacted DJ at Audioque, and he designed a box for me. THAT'S true customer service lol. It's 2.3cuft at 38hz. Should sound really good. It's an elongated design, width=19", height=14", depth=24", double baffled + flush mount. We'll see how it turns out!
I have a box with interchangeable ports and started with a 30hz port. I found that the 30 sounded the best BUT not there aren't to many selections of music out there that dips into that range. I also noticed it used a lot more power then at higher frequency. I then tried 35 and 40. 40 of course being loudest and had the hardest punch the 35 sounded the better and had enough loudness. I have a small box so under moderate power there is still enough loading for me to run the HP at 30hz without any ill effects. I wouldn't try it with larger boxes and or port area. Polo.
