Just got metered cut port and gained almost 2 db's

[gsuchyta 10+ year member]

My setup is in my sig

I have had this system for over two years now and I've always known it was loud but never could put a number to it so I got it metered twice

one was with the box how it was 4.6 @35hz

I did a 144.3 @ 49hz

Second time was with box 4.75 @44hz

I did a 146.1 @ 52hz

It was all done in the kick panel

I think if I swap those 2512's out for some HDC's or 9512's and get another 2200 and maybe get to high 140's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

hows 44hz sound daily? why not run 4 2512s?

Actually it really doesn't sound bad at all but going from 35hz which kills the lows to 44hz the lows sound nothing alike. I have to play completely different songs to show off the system for whatever tuning I set it at.

I'm sure a lot of people it would get plenty low for but I don't like it at all I think I'm goin to try 38hz and then something like 33hz to see what each sounds like.

I built that box inside my trunk so I can't really take it out lol.

I'm thinking about sealing off the trunk from the cabin, but that seems like a lot of work, but I know it would easily give me at least a 1 db gain.

and I would do 4 12's but their aint no way I can do that in the trunk of a civic. that would have to be a wall and I'm not ready to go there yet.

not bad at all, how much are those 2512's? i've been thinking about getting one, my 1512 is single 4ohm i need a dual VC sub.

Thank you

Well I traded an amp for the two I got but I think you can get used ones for around $200. the 2500a motor is the newest motor if I'm not mistaken and from what I've heard they are very efficient.

there's a 3512 for 220 for sale here, but the 2512 t/s specs suite me better so i need that.

well duh, obviously changing tuning can vastly affect loudness on the mic

It's a new revelation around here.

OP, cut it more so it's tuned to 50-55hz, see what that does for you...unless you actually want it to play music. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But that little civic should peak very high, around 60hz or so. Since you've already been cutting on it, I'd make this into a spl box and see how high you can go with it. Then build a daily box for them later.

I could cut the port and tune it much higher I just don't know if that will help much. I mean my peak frequency only went up 3 hz from a box tuning of 35 to 44 so I dunno if my civic is different or what but this is fine for me. I'll get louder with hdc's or 9500's and another 2200 then I'll see about sealing that trunk off from the cabin.
