new box build help for a newbie @ 28hz

You're going to get extremely exaggerated low-end from the Premiers with that box. They were not built with boxes like yours in mind. You might think it sounds alright, but I would build another box for them. They really perform their best with tunings around 32-40.

edit: saw that your box is actually at 31. That might work out alright for you.

whats the worst that can happen ? I could always shorten the port length

as said before, I tuned it to 28 because I was told when subs go in, the frquency will rise

is it true about my box frequency rising guys ?

What they were talking about is that it will rise because the sub is being put into the enclosure, which takes up a bit of airspace...this will shift the tuning higher, but a meaningless amount

And I did the math and the tuning is 28.1577Hz before you drop in the sub (which doesnt really mean anything...so yea, your enclosure is tuned to 28.25Hz or so)

thanx pioneer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif What do you mean it does not mean anything ? Im sorry to keep going on about this but have I done the right thing going this low or do ya think it will ****

Will it still play 30hz music and above ?

Yea, you'll still play 30+Hz etc.

And I say it doesnt really matter because the very small space that your subs take up in the enclosure wont effect the tuning enough for you to notice.

Give it a whirl and see how it performs...if its good, awesome...if it lacks a little something I would think a 33Hz tuned (or so) enclosure would be a better bet

Thanx again pioneer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. If I need to adjust the tuning, Is it ok to just take out the port in there or cut it down a few correct inches to raise tuning, Is that the right way to go about it ? I think It's gonna POUND

No prob

Yea you can do that...I assume youre using an aero port or pvc pipe..? Because if its a slot-port I'd hope you couldnt remove it, haha

OOHH, lol, Its a slot port and I would have a bit of a problem removing it as its all glued down and screwed. Anyway, I like bass very rumbly, deep and wobbly beat line where you can feel it hard and where everything flexes. I could trim the length of the port down but with a hacksaw but dont I dont think I would do it anyway. The box will be staying as it is. I will get sum pics in a second

Yea, just give it a whirl like it is...and if you dont like it, then youre down just like 30 bucks maybe and just make another...meh

heres some pics. Just need to cut the holes for subs, drop the top on and carpet the box and seal up a few more areas then its good to go.

Here is a pic of the old port length I was going to use tuned to 29.5hz or so

and the new port length

Look how long that port is. YERRRR (if thats a good thing lol)

Yea, that'll work. Looks good, go try it out
