[QUOTE="wevie, post: 6999742, member: 603871"] I'm still in the "trying different things to see what I like" stage prior to making big purchases. After trying some various enclosures, I definitely prefer ported and tuned lower. A couple tracks that get low: Bass Mekanik - Machine Melt [bass Peaks from 60-16HZ] and Ludacris - How Low (Does anyone know what freq. this goes down to?) My questions are - for real low stuff - I'll assume below 30 hz - where would you want your box tuned? Around 30? Just above that, like 32? Or just below that at 28? Or maybe even lower? Subsonic filter - how many hz below box tune is a safe setting? And finally, for sub selection, do you want to look for an fs at or near your box tune? Looking at, for example, a DC lvl 4 15", the fs is 25.6 hz. From what I understand, this is the natural resonant frequency of the driver and it follows then that this would be the frequency at which you would want your box tuned for the most control. Would you really tune an enclosure at 25 hz for this driver? [/QUOTE]
