how to tell what a box is tuned to

[Hydrastas 10+ year member]

this has got to be a joke.

actually it's a 160$ setup that broke my fin, so what if i started out in car audio without busting open my checkbook. it sounds good and pounds just as good buck for buck as most high budget systems i'd say. im just wanting to find the **** tune i ended up with for this box.

You really think that? SERIOUSLY?

yea, appearances can be deceiving. although the box looks like shit it's actually not too bad. it trumps my former setup that consisted of well made boxes.

your setup may be like mike tyson, but pound for pound roy jones can punch just as hard as to my saying of buck for buck.

Ive built worse boxes. srsly. we all start somewhere. That sub should be fine off the power but your tuning is way to high for most music. set your SSF to the max

Isn't a subs motion at minimum at the tuneing freq.Not to thread jack but it might help a bit.

I really need to save that pic to have on hand //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I'm sure someone else will come to the rescue, though.

I really don't know what to say.

At least making such a big box means you're making the most of the shit power you're sending the sub.

^^ i've still got that 2nd sony amp, im thinkin about strappin dem *****es and throwin this sub what it wants. but seriously, my new single sub setup is actually much better than that one. took me a while to finally get the nerve to test out a ported box for the 15" but apparently a single ported 15 gets louder than 2 12s and the 15 sealed.

edit: oh and with less power

Wouldnt haveing a port with that much area that close to the rear cause some restriction.Making the port seem a little longer to the box and lowering the tuneing a bit?

More than a little uncalled for...

Oh God sir, that is worse than anything I've ever made. And that's BAD.

After watching the video, I actually suggest that you throw the box away and make a new one. The joints are flapping which looks like it's causing a loss of pressure. That's the entire theory behind a ported box, and if the air within the enclosure cannot support the cone, you can damage your speaker. That's what I fear from this.

You sir need to give up on caraudio.

I tried to give you advice and i see you took it in building a ported box.

Now please just give up.
