hitting the LOw notes

[assassyn 10+ year member]

well ok I want deep low bass.

I have 2 12" l7'subs and a ZX.1500.1 amp

will a BIGGER box give me more low end over a SMALLER box?

BIGGER port or Smaller?

Longer or shorter port?

And SQ would be nice too.

there is a song on a mixed CD I have called "put on" does anybody know How low that song goes??? My subs dont go that low in the current box. But I mostly listin to Rock

I have lots of room in my towncar, BUT I still have to get a full size spare tire in my trunk. and should I face the subs towards the back or at the trunk lid?

umm, tuning lower would be the first step. I think put on is at about 28hz at its low frequency. (i think)...

28hz is accurate. Oversized box and low tuning. Something about kicker's l7 and 28hz tuning just sound weird to me.. .

Ya, first I think he should maybe change the subs out.

Maybe 6-7 cube feet tuned to 30hz, I would have to put my spare on top of the box

Go sealed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Sealed sounds great but I want more Low end exstention

ive heard l7 12"s at 30hz dual set up and i didnt like it TBH you could try tuning to like.. 32-35 or something.. my cvxs are tuned to 35 and can get pretty low

You mean you want more SPL, you aren't going to beat the frequency response of a sealed enclosure by going ported.

 

[assassyn 10+ year member]

I want the low notes To have nice DEEP ground pounding Bass.

How far should the subs be away from the back of the car

33hz...works fine with L7 12's, at around 6-6.5 cubes....gets plenty low too

You could port it through the rear deck,or remove metal behind the seats and any insulation to help it out. Lowest tuning I think you would need would be 33hz but thats pretty low. I try to keep boxes about 9" to the back minimum and A foot around the box at least.

Would porting the box thow the rear deck or arm rest hole, sound good. is it better than the port in the trunk

For getting low I believe the best way would be to keep the sub and port as far away from you as possible, so I would think the trunk would have a tendency to sound 'lower'.

But to get low, I would first try actually tuning low or going sealed...and by low I mean 30hz or lower, none of this high 33 stuff..
