[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7359826, member: 614752"] You need an SPL meter, a test tone CD and some subs to test. You should be able to see your peaks. In theory you can get a rough idea of your half wave by dividing the length of the car's cabin into the speed of sound then divide by 2 (or use this handy calculator) [URL="http://www.mcsquared.com/wavelength.htm"]Wavelength[/URL] Most cars are more like 45-55 hz range (up in the 60's if you wall) and as has been said that's mostly only useful for competitions. A box tuned to the car's peak will be a one note wonder and not sound terribly good on music. [/QUOTE]
