[QUOTE="Wattser93, post: 7273815, member: 618954"] I currently have a Type ARRGH on 350W in about a 1.25 ft^3 sealed box, it's basically a pieced together substage that only costs me about $100 at the end of the day. I'm not looking to spend any more money on new equipment (audio stuff isn't a priority right now, too many other hobbies). I'm looking to get some low end extension out of it, it's in a 2DR Blazer and it has pretty decent authority until 40Hz where it REALLY rolls off in a hurry. 35Hz notes are quieter, and any music down at 30Hz doesn't have any impact at all, basically just a background hum. (I'm using a frequency generator for my iPhone to check the frequency response and audacity to confirm the frequencies in certain songs) What's the trick to getting some lower extension? A buddy of mine with the same sub, same sized sealed box, on 500W in a trunk gets a lot lower extension and it sounds much better, both being few with the same HU, so my only guess is that his trunk is helping with the low end extension (his 30Hz notes hit as hard as his 40Hz notes do, my 30Hz notes barely exist while my 40Hz notes are louder than his), my conclusion is that either his trunk is helping the low notes or the cabin of a 2DR Blazer makes is killing the low frequencies. I've looked at going ported, but if there's a simple way to improve my low end extension without a new box I'm open to that. (like stuffing the box or something).
