[QUOTE="BumpinTypeR, post: 5689011, member: 607000"] i have a custom built box that is 2.15 cubic feet after displacements tuned to 37 hz fb. alpine recommends about 2 cubic feet at 36hz fb, but i went alittle bigger since i listen to rap. oh and heres an update: today i played da blow, bme click, and throw it up all with the volume at 40 and the custom eq on to test. i went back and smelled the air coming out of my port and it smells good.....its def not a strong smell and it smells like wood. so im thinking the whole time it may of just been the smell of my enclosure? but i set my gain withs a 0db 50hz test tone, but people have told me most songs are recorded at -3db, so doesnt that give me some room to boost alittle? and i also played a song with my eq at flat, and when i turn it up my bass isnt very loud and the music coming out of the speakers is actually alittle too loud for me...it kinda hurt my ears (i played at song at 46 volume which is my max "safe" volume with all settings the way they were when i set my gain) so im just stuck what to do. reset gain? if so what settings because the sla up made everything more rounded? continue using custom eq (not past volume 40) if it is infact just the smell of my enclosure? just set my eq to flat and not have alot of bass? i dont think i want a new amp because if i were running around 1000rms i would have to upgrade some electrical stuff.. thanks guys [/QUOTE]
