Just look at Thummpers 2 10 horn think.

It does 145s legal at 22hz.

But I'd like to see what it does on 40hz to 55hz

Its all dependent on your vehicle.

Example, I tuned a few boxes too 40hz in my Explorer and it was no audible difference on the low notes from a couple I did at 32 or 35hz, but the low tuned ones did lack on upper end.

Cabin drop FTW.

Did you design the horn yourself or did you just find the design somewhere, those are really interesting, I would love to know how those are calculated up.

I pretty much copied thummpers horn. Knowing outside sizes and guessing port width I made my own.

6 sided sealed box. Leave the subs at home. That would be safest.

Testla did not choose the safest frequency.

I'm having a similar issue, but with an Infinity Perfect DVQ 10". I decided to go with a ported box, but I know that I don't want too much punch, just a good fill. However, I still find sealed boxes lacking. In terms of the music I listen to, it's random, but there's often a lot of kick bass as well as boomy bass. I decided to let my comps handle the kick since I can't get both regardless of enclosure.

Anyway, the question is how do I equate the sub's place in my trailblazer to account for the free air outside the box, and how does that effect the frequency I tune the box to?

how does speaker size determine tuning in your mind? i gotta hear the all elusive answer to this lolz.

i have tuned 10's at 29hz before but it was strictly a boomer only.

Getting super low is fun, body panels = waves in the ocean lol.

I've always wanted to build like a box tuned to 20 Hz and try it just for the lolz. I wan't it to sound like an earthquake rumble. It'd be barely audible and would **** in the rest of the sound range, but it would be hella cool to show off.

I DID THIS!!!! About 5 months ago for a ht setup. used my old kenwood tornado cone 10". WAS SO AMAZING! hit some really low notes! REALLY LOW! until i blew the sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
