When I think of low, I think of the octave from 15hz to 30hz. If you want to tune for the mid to upper 30's you will not get anything below that frequency that will be worth hearing. How low is low to you?

well i dont want to stupe to under 30hz by any means but i would also like to put down some nice numbers i guess 32 is the lowest i would go and be comfortable...

I hate to be anti-new substage but 2 L7 15's on 1600wrms and you're only doing 139.x? Something doesn't sound right. You need to go back and check your setup because unless you're driving a school bus I'm pretty sure something isn't up to par. Your new set up might wind up falling flat if you don't find your issue. Am I wrong in my thinking?

completely stock electrical...1600 was just a guess not actually sure what it was putting out...its in a civic so the batt is about half the size of a normal car battery so that didnt help, also the trunk wasnt sealed at all...

Yeah, I thought 139 sounded kinda low too, but if it's not loud enough it doesn't really matter what the numbers are. Was it ported?

ya, tuned to 38hz before displacement, i say this because it was a ttb t box which had 3 chambers per sub, its basically like a snake moves...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
