Tuneing?

[Loudrango112 10+ year member]

Im ordering a box either tonight... or tommorrow now what should I get my box tuned to? I was thinking about 32hz.... I dont want stupid loud stuff... but I dont want it quiet. I want it accurate and to hit the notes really good and to hit them low. Do you agree with the 32hz? if not what would you think.

(also my sub is a 15" SX)

32hz is usually a good middle-of-the-road frequency

how do u tune a box...ive heard "tune" alot just never really known how to tune a box...i know it has to do with port size and what not...j/w

by varying port area and port length for a certain box size, the tuning frequency changes

I got it tuned to 32Hz well to be exact its like 32.69343436436245763245623456294378526 but close enough and I dont think that will kill me having it not EXACTLY 32 but lol I'll have to live
