What is this Box tuned to?

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

I posted vids of my sub inside my box (Box has separate chambers), which I thought didn't sound too bad. Well I was wrong. It sounded like ***. I thought that my box was 2.2 CUF tuned to 32 HZ, but now I don't really think so. I tried adjusting the gains on my amp to get that muffled noise out, but much to my avail, nothing worked. Here are the measurements of my box (Everything was measured from the insde of it):

Wood = 1" (Souldn't need this, since I measured inside, but I posted anywayz)

Depth = 14.5"

Width = 15.5"

Height = 14"

Back Port Wall = 9"

Side Port Wall = 12"

Any and all help would be appreciated. I don't want to go sealed, but If I can't figure out what this box is tuned to, then I will

Why is it you guys never understand that the box "tuning" is dependant on the sub's specs you're putting in the box?

I understand that you build a box based upon the sub that you are going to put in it. I already had this box, and this is what it was supposedly tuned to.

You cant just stick a sub into a box "tuned for X" and expect it to work like it should.

Well, in that case, what would the box be tuned to if I put a FI Q 12" in it? I have the D1.

Would you like me to run the specs for you in Bass Box 6 Pro?

Im not a pro with this program (actually I now realize I **** unless the driver is already loaded in the program, which Fi is not), especially when it comes to manually entering the data and converting that to a box design, so my intial result was so whacked out Im sure it wasnt right.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I'lll keep trying, or maybe someone else with Bass Box can chime in with an accurate result.

 

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

I have that program myself, but I don't know how to use it. Also, you are right, if the driver isn't preloaded, the results are wack.
