Tuning for a Civic??

[mendon mafia 10+ year member]

Im about to install and build a custom box for my friends 04 civic si. he is installing my old phoenix gold 15.0:1 and my pair of brand new 12" VQ's.

what tuning should it do his box for? i was thinking 37 hz because his car is so small and cabin gain should be crazy around the lower frequencies anyways but im not entirely sure on this.

any reccomendations will be helpful. thanks.

For our old civic hatch, 52hz seemed about the sweet spot.

 

edit: for SPL, sorry.

its not for comps its for daily 52 hz seems retartedly high to tune a daily box. also its not a hatch its a trunked civic si. subs and port facing back.

I have a 2002 civic sedan and the sweet spot was 50 Hz

then what you're asking is silly. why learn the sweet spot if your not gonna tune that high? if you want to tune to 37Hz, tune to 37Hz. just know you can get louder if you tuned higher

m not asking th tuning of the vehicle im asking what i should tune to box to for good lowe end and top end bass.

then change the title of this thread. And a good tuning would be 33 Hz to get the lows popping.

thank you. im sry for the title i just figured people would read the threads not just the title. apparently i was wrong.

I edited my post, but was not clear you intended for daily until now.

its just your title is misleading and your thread is not specific. from what it sounds like it just seems you want to get loud, so people answered your question to the best of their ability. nobody knew you were trying to get the lows.

also its not a hatch its a trunked civic si.

There is no such thing as a U.S. 2004 Civic Si with a trunk. 2004 Si's were hatchbacks only.

well idk maybe its an 03 then its the newer style. im all good on this tho im gonna do 33 hz. ill take some pics of the build when i start on firday night.

What would be good dimension for a 1.7 cubic foot to 2 cubic foot box slot ported at about 35hz for a Kicker CVX 12" and it also will ahve ina 2004 honda civic. (a bigger box doesnt always mean louder does it?)

Or what ever the Freq, must be for LOUD hard low hitting bass, i dont mind some high end bass aswell i want it to sound good not only just beat the crap out of my trunk.
