Help my sub won't hit high notes

[goingdef 10+ year member]

I like the 20-35 region //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

until I get a new box my subsonic is set at 28-30hz but not for much longer hopefully!

I don't have my sub blaring and most of the time my t tops are out so it's not to much

It hits that low but you can't hear it very well that low is mostly vibrations

If I turn off my SSF bad things happen. At 20hz the sub will make the entire enclosure and the whole false floor its attached to jump almost a 1/4" (the box is over 100lbs, the sub is 60lbs, the battery on the floor is 60-70lbs, amp is 20lbs, and the entire floor itself is 70-80lbs...so basically around 300lbs)

Im getting 0.91 cuft sealed..Kickers need a bit more than that..They sound so much better ported as well..Id get to 1.4-1.6 cu ft min ported,to get more out of that sub,that could be your issue.What do you think @ Buck?He does not even have 1cuft min sealed?

I like how it sounds and the music flows better from bass to midd

i would just give up on car audio if i was you.....

 

[Dallis 10+ year member]

So I'd be better of with a ported box?
