Resonant Frequency Results....

The way I did mine was like this:
1 cube box in my truck.

Played 20 to 70 hz, in 1 hz increments

Recorded each score

Placed the box outside, with the meter about 3 feet away.

Played 20 to 70 hz, in 1 hz increments.

Subtracted the ambient score from the in-car score. The frequency with the smallest difference is your resonant frequency.

In my case, it was around 44 hz. Now the exact note depends on my vehicle temperature, meter placement, and what setup I'm using. Funny thing about my truck is that it peaks in pretty much the same range no matter what setup i'm using.

Really, it just comes down to building and testing. You can do all this testing to find your resonant frequency, but there's far too many other variables for that to be considered the only method of testing you need to do.

Also, it is not uncommon for a vehicle to have two peak frequencies.
thank you. this was basically what i was looking for.

I love it when everyone gets over technical and still it means absolutely nothing. Reminds me of when I used to work with physicists...they'd dream up shit that would work wonderfully on paper but when it came to getting us engineers to actually build it, they couldnt understand what "in the real world" meant.
yeah i was pretty lost back in the technical part of this thread.
