[QUOTE="zoltman1991, post: 8886675, member: 691561"] Hello! Ive been doing a lot of research and found a lot of people talking about SQ built ported enclosures. Preface: This is the music I listen to - heavy bass, liquid basslines, 'space bass', dubstep, melodic bass. No techno, house, hardstyle, etc. Liquid stranger, of the trees, rezz, svdden death, zeds dead, subtronics to name a few. I feel this music selection is 'musical' in its basslines. Quick shifting, dynamic, fluid bass. A lot of it I feel does hang around the higher ends. Depending on the song, some can get low. I don't think anything would really hit below 30hz. Currently I have a single CompQ 12" pushed by a JD1000/1 in a 2.5cuft box tuned to 35hz. I don't like it. The response isn't consistent. I does not hit the high-end basslines as it should. So when I song shifts in freq, it sounds inconsistent. I've realized I'm more of an SQ guy, which I think my music calls for. However, I still like loud. To combat this, my current plan is to add a second CompQ 12" and push it by a Fosgate T1500-bdCP in a sealed box. Yes, slightly underpowering, I know. Birth certificate shows 1822w at 1ohm. Anyway. Right now I plan on throwing them in a 1.25cuft per sub sealed box (min rec is 0.88. So box is 1cuft after sub displacement). My goal is to get a consistent range and flat curve. I want to get low, but not too low because I don't see that, and I want to be consistent throughout wide ranges. I'm hoping the second CompQ will add the 'power and SPL', while maintaining a good SQ balance. IF I WERE to decide to move forward with a ported enclosure, what should I be looking for? volume? Freq?
