Help On Box For 15" RE MT

[x2o 10+ year member]

what kind of car?
i got my boy with an mt 18 on 1500w 146.5db @ 46 hz so......

Car is a 2003 Mazda 6 S (trunk, not hatch)

Someone here said they had the same car and got loudest with subs up and external aero's back (CRX Box), but I have yet to try that. May consider though if I can fit my friend's box for his 18" BTL in my car as his box is sub up port back and that'd be a good way to see if it's much louder.

Hows that look? 4.6 cubes tuned to 34 with 72 sq inches of port?

that box looks good. you must listen to a lot of the new rap crap if wanting it to drop that low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

If trying to bring out the lows go bigger on volume and lower on tuning, but 35hz is about as low as I'd go for an MT. I did an 18 at 35Hz and it was INSANE on the lows...

I know with my 18" 24hz-30hz its just insane. in my 6.5 cube box tuned to 30hz

I hope I get to build this up and coming box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i got a 18" MT in a 2002 mazda protege in 5.7 cubes tuned at 31hz, sub up port to passenger side. it slams the lows and sounds pretty f'n good. straight built for a musical daily box, could careless about numbers

Haha I listen to a wide variety of music. Rock / Trance / Dance / Techno / DnB / Rap / etc. I figure a lower tuning will be more musical over the wide spectrum of things I listen to. But mostly I listen to rap, and yeah I play some of the new crap just to be known as the kid who gets it first around here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

But yeah, I think I may try that box. First I'm gonna swap in for my friend's 18 BTL and see if it's a huge difference to see whether I should tune lower or what. He's tuned at 33 I think.

I was considering porting to the side as I see a lot of people have been doing this lately, but I'm not sure.

Let me know what you decide to go with. I too am almost ready to start building my box for my 15" MT. I want it to hit the lows and sound good for daily. Not sure how much room i have in the trunk of my 2002 accord. So who knows let me know what your liking with your box.

i tried it once tuned @ 25 hz in a 2.9 cube box for the 15 inch uberwoofer.

was really nice on the lows, but 45 and up sucked a lot.

Yeah man no problem, will be sure to let you know.

And mp3pimp, I would be doubtful tuning the MT that low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif IMO the only time to go below 30 is for home theater. Some people disagree, but thats my opinion .
