Dediated sub for 15-30hz?

Sealed box + lots of cone area = nice low end

Have you heard one? I would love see the effects if someone has a vid! large cone-sealed box

all of the subs i have ran i preferred sealed boxes except my L7. I ran my IDQv2 15"/IDQv3 10"/JL 12w6v2/fi q 10" all in both sealed and ported boxes. The ported boxes were louder with rap songs, but if i threw in dave matthews i was almost as if i had no sub listening to carter beauford on the drums.... i hated it with a passion. I put them in sealed boxes and it was a very well rounded sound with the rap and hit the drum beats like it should of.... I will always go sealed over ported in my daily driver. The L7 just had no SQ and couldnt keep up ported, but i didnt like it sealed. It was only meant to get loud so i could impress people when i was what...15 years old.

edit: sorry i re-read this and it is way off topic. I like the output below 30hz better sealed, anything above that, if looking for output i would go sealed no matter what. i had some super nice door flex with my single 12w6v2 ported.

my box is tuned at 31 HZ and i play quite loud under tuning as well....

played "how low can you go" at full tilt a couple of times

If you want output below 30hz and don't want to go with a large sealed or IB setup, a transmission line would probably fit you well. The only issue with that is space. My single 12 takes up about 5 cubes gross in a transmission line but it plays flat from 15-65hz with a +4dB peak right at 22hz. Smooth response on all types of music and can keep up with anything. It also has a nice midbass kick around 80hz too.

just get 3 or 4 of these 12s and power then with 500-600wrms each so about 1500-1800wrms and you will feel everything shake trust me they are some good subs for cheap because they came out a couple years ago but trust me power them right and they will perform.

RE MT tuned to -8 hz.

hahah i cant tell if this is sarcasm or what cuz -8 hz isnt possible......id love to see -8cycles per second

but the again there is also no reason to have a sub dedicated from 15-35hz

play get low that hit is 30hz iirc and that is much lower then most tones you hear in regular music anyway

get this guy a XXX15 in a 4.5cube 30hz tuned box and i gurantee its enough ow end for him

pretty much, no need to waste the extra time money effort and space, most songs don't get much lower than 40hz, trust me i know, i do audio mastering as a profession

how about (2x) 15 RE XXX, 9 cu ft^3 @ 34hz, 130sq in port, gets plenty low

Even 40Hz is rare.

not so much nowadays

seems like the industry knows that the lower bass is better.

x2 on the phoenix gold cyclone... servo subs FTW!

and what about that new massive audio SQX sub? isnt it supposed to play down to 10hz?

Depends what you consider "low."
Play Bass I Love You in a ported box and see how loud those ~5hz and ~10hz notes are.

FYI......You can't hear freqs that low, they only rattle the **** out of things. Plenty of movie soundtracks have material that low, but you don't hear it. You and your house feel it though if you have a sub(s) capable of getting that low.

Punch that hits you in the chest is higher then 30Hz. Play "Nothing But A Good Time" by Poison, it has LOTS of kick bass punch //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
