I just picked this system up for dirt cheap 300 dolla....f'ing steal right...but i am looking at throwing them in a 5.7 cube 28 hz box...1/0 already run ...red top ....big 3 done....and i beefed up my alternator...need some opinions
2000 gmc jimmy.....the only thing is i love that low low low clean bass ...i used to rock a fi Q in a 3 cube tuned to 28 and it was sick...141 db at 35 hz
i really dont care about spl ...i like quality...and the spl i get is just a bonus...ive owned just clean subs my whole life....2 12" re se....12" Fi q ....12" aa arsenal
yea well i never intended on keepin it. . .i still have my arsenal and my q. . .but i bought it cuz the amp i worth like 500 used . . .but i guess i will just build it and if i dont like it i will sell it. . i honestly just picked it up to flip it for more. . .the box its in now is like 1.5 cube and god knows what tuning
Nope im gonna build this box. . .i just sold the one box theyre in and i just sold the arsenal. . . but i love havin my Q and an ed nine.1 to fall back on
yes they do, my old setup was two DD2512's in a 5 cu. ft. box tuned to 35hz and it slammed. now i have my hdc315 tuned to around 37hz and there isnt much difference in output from my friends hdc315 that is tuned to 40hz. since the dd's were tuned a little lower than my hdc they hit the lows somewhat better on the real low notes, but i like a little higher tuning now because the mid rang 35-45hz is louder. and if no one has noticed, most rap songs, or any songs really, commonly hit between around 35hz and above. so u love these super low 30hz and under tones that arent on very many songs. go with 35 to 40hz tuning eric, it will still hit the lows good and have much more output than 30hz.
i agree with you on the fact that there are only a handfull of songs with tones around 32 hz . . .but im still so torn.....i like what i see on the response graph that i got from bassbox 6
I've heard quite a few DDs and used to run one.... and they don't perform well in boxes far below the recommended 40 hz tuning.
You are making a general rule for something that can not have one.
Box tuning relies on just more than what you buid it to. You can drop it in a vehile and it drop tuning ~10hz easy. So saying "tune it above 40hz" makes no sense.
^u do have a valid point that vehicle conditions\interior acoustics play a major part in how the roll off is & how its perceived by ear since my wagon is double second skin layered & even my almost 50hz tuned SPL competition box doesnt sound bad at all for something tuned that high , in fact it sounds about 5hz or more less maybeeven closer to 40hz
....im sticking to my original post which is on true low end DDs are not as good as some other subs which im sure other ppl can agree with ...
Nah, alot of people don't know that. People that are learning will read your post and think that when you tune a box to a frequency, it will be tuned to exactly that. It really helps to be a little more specific for learners.

I didn't disagree on everything you said. I was just making what you said more detailed.
Well I guess i get what you mean. But then on every question about box tuning you'd have to tell them tune it to X but its not tuned to exactly that... IMO will just confuse people.
