10 type r box

[goose5741 10+ year member]

So this is going in my cousnins truck...and i don't know whether to go ported or sealed, i think he has room for either, sealed might be more convienent cause it might fit under the back seat...but he has plenty of room to go ported too. How big of a difference is it gonna make output wise???? And what size boxes would i use for each??? I'm guessing i'd tune a ported box somwhere in teh low 30's....

Yah i don't know much about type arrs so someone help me here lol

i did. 1.6 cubes at 35 or 36 Hz = wangage for one 10 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

its gets low for a ten too hehe

That should work well for ported...?

this box and change the tuning to 36 Hz. if you want i can do it for ya let me know

Why tune so high??? (sorry i'm kinda a nub when it comes to boxes)

 

[photocrazy8 10+ year member]

ok a 10 in woofer is not ment for low low frequences like a 15 or 18 so you wanna tune high so that you dont over extend or bottom out the woofer. and also by tuing high you get a larger range of frequences that your sub with peak at (these frequences will be higher though). and also when you tune to 35hz + you also lose some of the lower output below your tuning frequency but with a ten that is not an issue since tens are not ments to hit lows.

Thats what i was thinking...my experirience is more in 15's n stuff so i'm used to like 30-34 being what i want to tune to. I'll take some measurments at his house tommorrow when i get there and actually decide how much room i have. thx for the help

np ne time, lmk.

and if any one could look at my explination and make sure its right and if its off please correct me. i want to learn....

It's not that a 10" can't hit low well because it's possible; it's that the T/S parameters of a 10" sub make it a little more difficult to build a box with both a flat response curve and low extension.

is that why if you tune low then the 10 will hit lows but only peak at the lower frequencies and if you tune higher they will peak at more freuqencies that are higher and you will also lose the bottom end

Depends on the sub. Depends on the net volume. Depends on the tuning frequency. I don't know if you've tinkered with WinISD yet, but here goes: different drivers have different T/S parameters as you may know and therefore it is difficult to determine which box parameters will give you the best results, and I cannot say that the tuning the box lowly will peak only the low frequencies nor can I say that tuning high will drop your low frequency extension. As you change net volume, the transfer function magnitude will change. The same will happen if you change the tuning frequency, but usually a lower tuning frequency will "stretch" the curve to become more flat while moving it to the left a little. An extraneous net volume will usually peak the curve greatly leading to boomy bass. Although I rambled on in this post most of the time, the best thing I can tell you is to download WinISD and try it out for yourself.

i have tired winid and most people say its only good to see how your sub will react but not for anything else...

Yeah it is, it gets you in a ballpark area so it's mostly used for guesstimating. I'm just saying a 10" has the ability to play lows, but the T/S parameters make it more difficult to accomplish that.

yea i guess i need to learn how to read and better understand the t/s parameters

thanks for the advise and help

My 10's play low, I peak at 38hz...
