So? a ported enclosure is prety much acting like a sealed enclosure an octave above tuning. So if you tune to 40 Hz at 80 hz you would be very similar to a selaed enclosure. Kick drums and bass shine from 50-80. I would recommend tuning lower like 30 hz. With a decent driver you would be surprised. Also the music would not be affected by the hump from tuning. Unless you like that bloated midbass sound then I guess tuning higher would be better.because metal plays at a higher frequency range?
I'm using an exterior port so I can add some pipe to make it longer.
how much fa da icon?????????????????????????Neals build getting started.

If I did that then I will get people chiming in saying why am I tuning so low when metal doesn't have drops 99% of the time.So? a ported enclosure is prety much acting like a sealed enclosure an octave above tuning.

Don't listen to those people...lol. Its not about how low your music goes but the response of the system. Tuning that high you will most likely be +6 at 50 Hz and +3 at 55 Hz. Its going to be steep peak which will be pretty undesirable from a musicality stand point. Where as if you tune lower then the peak will be flatter and longer which will be more musical. You can tune high but then you have a bloated kick drums and bass guitar that you have to eq out. Just look at some repsonse graphs and different frequencies.If I did that then I will get people chiming in saying why am I tuning so low when metal doesn't have drops 99% of the time.
I will try 32hz...or should i go 30hz?, How about 36hz? Geez...
That enclosure ported?Neals build getting started.

30Hz for hard rock/metal?? What kinda crack are you on??So? a ported enclosure is prety much acting like a sealed enclosure an octave above tuning.

@Jeffdachef 30Hz for metal lol please correct this problemSo? a ported enclosure is prety much acting like a sealed enclosure an octave above tuning.

Again it does not have to do with how low the bass is but the response of the system and how a ported enclosure acts. Right now sealed my IDQ sound good on metal and roll off at 30 Hz. When I go ported they will have almost the same response but a little more output from 30 to 45. above that will be very similar to how they play now.30Hz for hard rock/metal?? What kinda crack are you on??
My 2 15's box is tuned to 30Hz. He is def in the right direction, although I would suggest 36-38Hz for metal but def not 30. That's too low and tuning that low is made for lower bass than typical.
Last couple of times I've bought wood I went to Menards and looked for sheets that have damaged corners and ask them to mark it down.they mark it down from around 55 (forget actual price but it's over 50 anyway )to 35 for me. 11 ply birch. It's not Baltic but it's void free. Pretty nice plywood if ya ask me..Just put my order through. Who delivers using the Free Shipping option?
It will be awhile before I install it. Need to track down some sanded pine or whatever for a new box.
