Thanks for it. Louder is always better. What tool do you for adding the bass? Audacity has bass boost built in but bass boost usually means clipping.

I just checked it, -2.7db at 36Hz, with -3db from about 34Hz-37Hz using the Blackman-Harris, so -3db sounds right then. I must have gotten my copy of it from you then.

I just double checked it and that's what my copy of the songs registers at in audacity. I obtained the song from a link in a thread somewhere around here, so maybe my version is a bit boosted. 36Hz isn't too low, but the OP was asking for up to 35Hz, and I don't see 36Hz as being too far away...

Juice Box - Gorilla Zoe It's been mentioned plenty of times before in the bass track thread, it peaks at 36Hz -2db according to Audacity. (not quite low 30Hz range, but it's decently low)

Lol. My system wouldn't impress anybody from loudness, it's about the Ess Que (going to do an IDMAX hopefully to replace the Type-R ). It's still "very loud" to anybody that hasn't heard a proper system, and will embarrass a BestBuy prefab and Kicker square combo, but is nothing huge. It's loud...

You're doing a blow through? That takes commitment and you'll permanently devalue the truck. Have you thought about walling it instead?

What sub?

VWs are for chicks. There's more to life than gas milage. I'd take a CTS-V with it's 18mpg highway before I'd take a crappy european econobox getting 50mpg. I currently get 12.7mpg.

It's notorious for being inaccurate though. I'd try to use WinISD to confirm results before building one to the specs you get from the RE calc.

That's probably clipping. If your Alpine is anything like my Kenwood, the sub level is only an attenuation knob. I have to set my sub level to +15db to get full pre-out voltage. Turn off all of the bass boost features, turn the sub level to max, turn down the gain all of the way, and reset the...

His amp is 2Ω stable in bridged mode, it's a Rockford Power series, they're also heavily underrated. The models rated at 25x4 have benched at over 75x4, you really need an O-scope to set the gains properly, it'll do more than rated, how much more? I don't know, but quite a bit. Using a DMM to...

+1 I've put more sweat equity into my system than money. It doesn't take a huge budget get a good sounding system. Too many people think buying a $1000 set of comps and $800 amps will be the ticket to SQ. The reality is that 90% install and 10% equipment will sound 100% better than 10% install...

You can run it at 0.5Ω, but if you your electrical has troubles keeping up I wouldn't expect it to last long. I would run at 2Ω to be safe. If you had either 2 D4 subs or 2 D1 subs you could run it at 1Ω.

+1. I spent less than $1K on my system and it's been one of the best purchases made. I spend an hour a day in my car, so being able to enjoy the music is a big deal to me. Of all the things we spend money on in life, enjoying music for the hour a day I can is far better than suffering with a bad...

People can touch with supervision. They can't turn it up past 27 and they can't touch the settings. They can play with the iPod and pick songs, skip, turn it down, etc..., but they know that if the volume hits 28 or they touch any of my tuning that'll be the last time they touch it. Any time...
