help: making an sx sound decent

[psych0ticnemes1 5,000+ posts]

i know the sx isn't built for sq, however i like how it sounds... but man it cannot keep up with techno or rock very well...

it is in a big 4 cube enclosure tuned to 35...

if i drop it down to 2.5-3 cubes tuned to 28, think it would be a lot more accurate with rock and techno bass hits??? Or do i have to seal it to get it to keep up?

i'd rather not give up the sub if i don't have to...

ACTUAL HELP APPRECIATED! i don't need to hear how the sq sucks...

Thanks

dont think id make the box real small, just tune it lower

mines at 29 and sounds nice, but its an HC, havent heard the SX

My SXs liked smaller boxes. Try it.

i liked the way my hc sounded when it was in a sub on top port on side box with a 2.7 @ 32 hz. very musical and very very loud. =(

A 15 sx in 3.2ish cubes at 33-34Hz is farily accurate as far as "keeping up" with the music. I still do not like the sound of the sub, but it doesn't drag too much and gets stupid loud, so take that for what it's worth.

Im going to say this is going to be an uphill battle. I never could get mine in the right box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

****, alright thanks anyways... it's crazy loud so i wanna keep the loudness but make it sound a bit better... i'd sell it but i don't want to be without bass for a few days lol (and building boxes in the winter sucks!!!)

Why would someone compare an HC to an SX? He didn't ask about the HC and they are 2 completely different woofers.

The SX will sound no better than it is made to sound. If it was built to be a SPL daily driver then dammit that's what it will be. If you want SQL buy a XXX

I'd go with 3.5 cubes tuned to 28hz.

Won't he lose alot of output tuning that low?
