higher or lower??

[slicks5150 10+ year member]

should I go higher or lower.

I'm tuned at 32hz for two atlas 12's if I go higher(like 38~40hz) will I get louder and at what loss(like low end )?(more spl or sql)?

if I go lower what will I get? louder? not louder?

these subs are recommended in a sealed box. But I really wanna keep em ported. (soon to be in a new vented box).

I am running a pa lt980.2 amp to em, at 220wrmsx2@4ohms(not verified)

in a 94 corsica.

qts is at .52 and it sounds louder than at.33 I think they recommend the mid qts for a larger enclosure. so thats where I want to go next I think.

where is a good place to get a 1.5ohm resistor wire to jump my leads on the sub?

If you tune it to about 38hertz, then you will definately get louder, but you will lose the low end a little. This may not matter very much depending on the music you listen to though. If you want to sacrifice some of the lows to get overall louder, then go for it. Tunning it lower then what u have now would only help you hit some lower octaves. If I were trying to get a little louder, then I would tune it higher.
