Port Size and Length

That's what I'm looking for, a little extra punch out of the subs but with SQ in mind. I still want a really nice flat and crisp sound just want that little extra push as well.

You might be better off using a Sqaure port...... 40hz is good... 45hz is good... 50hz is good.

( just depends on what you're shooting for:

40hz * universal * ( good lows, GREAT MIDS, good highs )

45hz ( Decend amount of lows, GREATER MIDS, Great highs )

50hz ( Limited Lows, GREATER MIDS, Greater highs )

- 30hz ( GREAT lows, good mids, limited highs )

Hmm, Maybe I do want to go back down to the low 30's then. The higher bass would be just fine with my comps maybe decent in the mid bass but I'm not counting on them for that. I definitely want the good lows though. I like the bottom notes more than anything. Think of that first little beat in Twista - Front porch. A little old but **** I still love that song.

Yeah... it's like a 15hz - 20hz note...

... Well, go back to 30hz use a sqaure port. I'm about to figure out something.

If I was building this enclosure I would tune in the mid to upper 30's. I love the lows, but "lows" can be a range depending on the person.

Mainstream music doesn't typically extend below the upper 30's, so if you plan to stick with the the mainstream, then the upper 30's or lower 40's(as Nissan said) would be perfectly fine for you

I like songs like "White girl" by jeezy (29hz) for showing off the 10s

and no..if it is the song I am thinking, it is not that low

I don't have my spectrum analyzer on this computer, but i think it is mid 30's minimum

edit:

..............that low is 29hz

I thought that note was lower than that...

... but the last time I played that song was when I was using my 4 12cvxs. So that would make it seem lower.

Tuning the subs lower doesn't just let the subs play lower, it also gives them a deeper sound, and makes more shit flex =D. IMO low tuning FTW.

You'll want to vent out the side so that you're not choking the port. I'd do a simple round tube port, for simplicity's sake.

Now that I look at it

... Circle port would be an easier build.

how old are you? just curious because you are very indecisive and impulsive

I'm 21.

... I just have alot of ideas in my head. For me to be satisfied w/ anything. I have to put everyone option out, build it, test it and compare.

interesting approach

lol...

.. But back on topic!

Question: Is that something that you've had in mind ( enclosure picture )

 

[PokeFan 10+ year member]

Sorry, I went to lunch and missed a few post. For the most part that's what I'm looking for but it's a pretty tight squeeze to get the box in and the port would be right up against the side wall. I think I'm going to have to have it come out the front. I was thinking round ports as well for simplicity sake.
