[QUOTE="TaylorFade, post: 6833389, member: 618111"] I love this thing! I probably have the lowest numbers of any TL owner, but whatevs. I have been researching about how to find resonant frequency and I tried the method that was suggested and I just wanted a little feedback on what I found. I built a 1cf box for a 10 that I had laying around. It's a RD classic and since I couldn't find any T/S on it to be able to build a box with a .7 Q, I tested in "real time" outside the car first going from 37-67hz. Then I put it in the car and ran the same frequencies. The peak outside the car was 39 & 40hz. The peak inside the car was 42hz. The biggest cabin gain I got was +4.7db @ 43 & 44hz. Unfortunately, There was no pronounced peak any higher than that and I actually had a negative cabin gain in the mid-50's and low-60's. These were all done at a steady ~ half volume because I didnt' want to foul the numbers by the amp heating up or voltage drops. And the sub in the car was sub up in the driver's corner. I suppose I could run them again with different sub placements to see if that changes the results any, but what do you guys make of those numbers? And since I got it I have been going nuts metering every car in sight with a sub. Lol. Just wanted to share some of the results with y'all - (2) AA Mayhem 18's on a pair of big *** RF amps (5K's?) in an Avalanche. 151.0 @ 51hz. High, I know, but that was his peak. - Single Crossfire 15 on an AQ2200 @ 2 ohms in a Foxbox in a blazer. Sub up, port driver's side 143.7 @ 41hz. - (4) Polk MoMo 15's on an Orion 5k in ~ 4 cubes [B]sealed[/B] in a toyota with a camper. 142.7@ 51hz. Lol. - Single e8 on a Punch 75 in a single cab Dodge. .6 tuned to 33hz. 127.4@41 on music. Well, before we blew it. Lol ...and shit that I have tried in my car. All on ~ 1kw in the trunk of my lexus IS300. - 2510 in 2.25 net, 36 sq in of port tuned to 37. 141.0 @ 37hz - 2510 in a 4th order. .6 sealed, 1.3 ported. 36 sq in of port tuned to 49. 139.7 @ 41hz - Kicker L7 10 in 1.1 net with a 32" long 6" pvc port. Sub up driver's side, port into the passenger corner. 138.1@51hz - (3) eD 3.6's in that QW horn thing I posted a build log for. 137.1@ 40hz.
