that **** i dont like
yeah i would definately get a box built from a guy here than at a shop. unless if i got an amazing deal. which you would not be.
Definitely not 38, that's "fart box" territory, it would sound terrible under like 34hz.Anyone have input on 38 Hz?
I'm going to try and tell them something like 34 or 35 Hz. I'm paying around 300 bucks for this think so I want it to sound good. To a 17 year old 300 bucks is a lot.Definitely not 38, that's "fart box" territory, it would sound terrible under like 34hz.
This would be true if wattage was only based on voltage, but because watts is volts * amps it isn't very accurate to say an amp only amplifies it based on the preout voltage. Preouts have hardly any amperage to them, and remember that some older headunits known for great SQ had preout voltages of only 200mVThe higher the pre out voltage, the lower your gain on your amp is, which means the amp doesn't amplify it as much, which means it's a cleaner signal. So yes, prevolt outage is pretty important. But if you're getting 5v pre outs from any HU under $200 they're probably not actually 5v preouts. I'd get an entry level alpine deck. They're 2v pre outs, but they still sound good.
that is a problem, i hope it turns out okThe problem is I've already paid for the box.
They know what they're doing building it. But when I bring my car up there Thursday I'll just talk to the builder and let him know specifically what I want.that is a problem, i hope it turns out ok
Its somewhere between 250-300. I handed him 290 today.Whyd they raise the price $50 since yesterday? Didnt you just put a down payment on it?
^^^^ thisWhy did this turn into a HU discussion?
OP your low bass is not getting quieter as you turn it, your mid/upper bass freqs are taking over. Which is making the lower bass seem quieter. I'm guessing your box/vehicle peaks in the mid/upper 40's freq region.
Do NOT have them tune the new enclosure to 38Hz, 32-34Hz is more like what you'd want.
They're awesome! You can really feel them, it makes your hair feel like its standing up.That's what happens when you go from a sealed box to a ported box. How are the lows now?
