I'm trying to prepare for a comp coming up on Oct. 21st... I was suggested by our local DD dealer to make a box tuned to 45hz (he didn't specify cubes) but I wanted to try to figure out what would be best, myself. It's gonna go into a '91 corolla sedan trunk that gives me, at most, 3 cubes to play with, i believe. I've got 2 1508's to play with and hopefully I get my cadence zrs10 from CA.com by the 21st (I'm currently amp-less). Right now, they're in a 2 cube box tuned to 40Hz.
After playing tones in their current box from 30-60Hz, I notice good "by-ear" responses on 32hz w/out vibration from the car. Once I hit 40-55hz, I can hear it get louder but I'm getting a ton of vibration from the car. So now i'm wondering how to approach the situation with the time I have left til the 21st. Sound dampening the trunk fully and keep my current box, or build a bigger/higher or lower-tuned box and leave just my trunk lid deadened?
