I like my stuff tuned low too...I've never tuned above 33hz. Currently I'm running a apir of 10's tuned at 28hz and I'm loving it. Whether or not it plays 10hz is irrelevent to me because I'll never listen to anything that has a note that low. And with a f3 of 26z, it plays the lowest notes better(at the same amplitude as the higher(50-65hz) notes) than any sealed box can.

wow there are some ridiculous statements in this thread.

i guess my 2 18's aren't going to hit anything under 38 hz since that's where i'm tuning?

Yep, just like lincoln said, they'll just stop moving...resistence is futile.

i dont want to miss out on music, i think i'll tune to 20 hz instead. i listen to rap, son.

maybe build one tuned to 10 hz and swap that in when i want to show off on bass i love you.

 

[lincolntc690 10+ year member]

tune to 0Hz ftw you'll miss nothing then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Hmm, i always had better lows ported. Sealed anything below 35 was non existant.

I think it just depends on the application. If you have 15's tuned tothe mid to high 30's on 2kw each, then yes, your geared towards SPL

and should just admit it to yourself.

That does not mean every ported application is just geared towards spl.

Ported can take you quite low throughout the musical and audible range.

yep,mine is very musical and if you think mine dont slamm on good recorded rock songs like 3 doors down(17 days),and puddle of mudd,you've got another thing coming lol

dude, i am warning you. Don't do it, you will regret it. Sealed is much better for the music you listen to. You will lose all the bass notes that rock/metal provide if you port, and it will sound like shit.

you need to shut your hole unless you know what is coming outa it. Ported boxes CAN sound good with rock music too. its all how you build and tune the box.

winnar!

LOL @ ported not sounding good with rock.

It's a shame this board isn't made up of more experienced members who pass along good info, and younger members who can sit back and absorb it with confidence while also humbly (and with an open mind) gaining their own experience. Oh, and female members who like to post **** pics.

Instead, we have very few seasoned members and a huge majority of young clowns who spout of a ton of garbage. Unfortunately, new members come on and don't know who to trust. At least half of them take the crap advice and it just breeds more clowns. Oh, and where are the chicks? ******* are good!

People just shouldn't give such headstrong advice unless they really know what they are talking about.

Ported can sound great with any type of music. It's not just for rap or SPL. Man, I hope no one really believes that garbage Insupasmomsom01 has been posting.
