Best Port Tuning = (SPL).

He didn't you dunce I did not that it matters. At least he is happy I helped him which you still haven't done in your whole rant.

He never asked for SQ l. Thank you for admitting that. I was right.

About what? What were you right about that helped him achieve his goal? Because all you managed to do is waste your time because it's not wasting my time. This has been entertaining as hell.

Boy you just pick what you want from the statement. Cabin gain determines peak in a burp box. Along with the fact that during lower frequency play more energy is lost to panel flex.


But in a daily system what this guy is trying to achieve I stand by my statement.

You really are a foot aren't you

Just ignore him like everyone else has. You can not have a productive dialogue with someone who is convinced he knows everything.

It's not always that simple it takes measurements, and modeling to even glimpse at the end result. Not only that your goals and mine would be different.

It sounds like you want loud I personally would suggest a ported box built on the larger side of things tuned to the mid 30s. It really depends on your cabin gain to see where your box needs to excel and where it can roll off.

Or a 6th order designed by someone who has experience with them. I don't have experience with them enough to give much input beyond my current knowledge. I don't even want to try and think about an 8th order. Bandpass boxes are big depending on the situation you may be better off dropping from 1 12 to 2 10s or even 4 8s in a slightly larger box and then you will have more voice coil to absorb the heat so more power can be applied.

I wish buck was feeling well since he was a good resource for box design, shredder was doing them too at one time.

My truck has had several systems from 1 eclipse aluminum 12, 2 JL 13tw5, 2 dd 506s, 2 sa10v2, 2 Dayton ho 10s, 2 DD 1508s and my next box is for what essentially is 1 10 in a 6th order granted it uses 2 nvx 10s but the output will be similar to only 1.

My goal post is forever moving. Hell I even had a system in another truck that was 2 kicker comp 10s on like 800w in what had to be the perfect sealed box for those subs combined with that truck. It wasn't loud but that was one of the cleanest setups I had. Wasn't happy with the output and those 10s got sold and replaced with something else. This hobby is basically a dog chasing it's tail in the pursuit of perfection

Hahaha I am still chasing!

Sounds like you guys got a cool community.

Which of your past Subs is the overall preferred?

The 28hz port is actually a good tunning for me.
While the subs output can still increase it has the door shake and side mirror, the lyrics are still clear.

28hz does not speak over the mids and tweeters.

I see people going all out into mids and tweaters especially when they have it tuned to 38hz.

28Hz is unique, and you can't buy anything prefab under 33hz.

Your argument fight actually is (educational) for me.
Since I didn't blatantly know exactly what you both we're saying originally.

So good it's for the thread and relating to a beginners perspective!

You're funny. He didn't want to have a productive dialog

Currently at 28hz Tuning but I don't think it's as loud as 33Hz Port Tuning.

So what do pros typically Port tune for SPL?

Thanks

The guys I see winning SPL competitions usually meter from 45 hz. - 60 hz. They usually sound like shitt when playing music.

Are you wanting SPL for your ride or to actually compete and have a chance at winning?

As far as my favorite sub setup? That's kinda difficult, the shock and awe I got from a pair of DD 6.5s was fun, the Dayton ho 10s after I figured out a port loading issue was probably the cleanest sounding sub stage I've ever had. The subs were plenty loud but they were so clean you almost couldn't tell where the bass was coming from.

My favorite though was probably a decade back when me and a buddy made a bet on who could get louder for cheaper. He went 4 10s sealed on 3kw in a single cab truck and I went with 1 American bass HD12 on 3kw in a ported box in a Nissan versa hatchback. I knew I had an unfair advantage of it being a hatchback so I kept my box tuning to a reasonable daily frequency and did not build a burp box. It was tuned to 36-37hz and he had a bit of cone area on me but I had a big motor sub in a ported box.

I ended up at a 148.2 and he was at 143.x on the meter. His moved a bit more air but mine just hit harder. I was into my system for sub 1500 he had nearly 3k into his.

It was just a fun build i was under a time constraint and had 500bucks on the line which at the time was a fair sum of money. The system didn't particularly sound great it's just a good memory.

Even if it's a never ending chase.
Looking at the Bandpass enclosures.
4th orders are just so good sounding.

Obviously not. If you couldn't sniff that out after OP posted twice you should probably lurk more and post less.

What gave you that impression? We all hate eachother.

That's why he's wanting to buy a meter genius. I guess he wants a meter because he will never compete? He's asking about SPL and meters for a reason kid. I guess you want to start shitt too. Sounds like more fun.

Or you could just skip to the part where you give the big galaxy-brain reveal of what being competitive means, OP can say flat out that he doesn't really want that but wants to be able to play music, and then you can dislocate your arm patting yourself on the back about how clever you are and post more pictures of other peoples' builds and scores.

This board is such a **** show lately it's cringy to even take a look.
It's sad what has happened... back to lurking I suppose.
I personally tune 3-6hz under cabin peak depending on flex myself. That under 30hz what I consider loud and low and requires a ton of power and cone. The term Spl has morphed into something different for everyone since everything changed around 2000. No more hi efficiency and big box. Now it's cone, power and electrical mostly.
I digress... Those 3 laws are still there but most subs are overmotored hi- excursion drivers with insane power handling compared to my day.

I've posted three complete builds of my own vehicles in the last three years. How many of your builds have you posted? I've also posted my own scores when I competed (and won).

Everybody isn't perfect like you man. Congratulations on your perfection!

Somebody takes every little thing and posts on the most pointless threads constantly. You feel attacked... Ask yourself why. I never specified you personally.
Jeez.... Just lurk and chime in. Everyone can add something but... Comon' Corn Pop.
Really?

When a person calls me out specifically then yes I will take it personal. Who wouldn't? That's like saying, "don't take this personal but you're a dickhead." Really what? What did I say wrong now? You seem to be the judge. I did not know that.

I'm about anti censorship. To tell you the truth from a knowledge level of myself. This thread was the most helpful.

I kind wish you wouldn't delete the posts or users because I now finally get it.

The arguments were valid even though it was conflicting.

Otherwise I'd never get the answer I needed.
