another question...do u think i should build a box tuned to 32hz?

 

[outspoken 10+ year member]

had mine @ 40 then had one built @ 32... imo the 32 sounded better, more even bass response, much less peaky. but i'm just a worthless newb //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Just get a test tone...same effect, none of the annoying "vocals"...

is that all your system consists of? if so, you might want to hold off on showing off.

Depending on the car of course . But the box itself should have considerably more output with a 40hz tune over a 32hz tune. Less freq response and less low end

yeah right now thats about it...i wish i had more money but....i dont at the moment. but anygay its pretty loud. some songs ive found to be "loud" in my car are Go to Sleep, Down on Ya Kneez, Suga Koolaid, Screw Dat, Beat without bass, Leather so soft, Brown Paper Bag, Da Blow, Knockn Heads Off, Push that *****, Streets on Lock, Im Da man, U and Dat, In the trunk

the problem is that there are a lot of songs that i like but i cant hit the lows in them. it just sounds terrible. like the chopped & screwed songs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

This would be because your box is tuned so high. If you find yourself unable to hit the lows you really want, then yes, you need to build a box tuned lower. Like 32-34hz seems a pretty common tuning here.. personally I'd tune down to 28-30 tops in my setup, but I have slightly different goals, myself.

Bottom line, your high tuning is killing your lows. Tune higher and you'll be happier.

Indeed.

Personally I like sealed, but that's just me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Play Jeezy's Thug motivation or (Jeezy's) Air Force One's. Those are usually my show off songs.
