First sub box

Bronze Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 55 Registered: Aug-04 | OK this is going to be the first box that I have ever built and I am wondering what you guys think of this plan. It is going to be for a 12" Arsenal. Is it big enough and how do u think it will sound. Also does where I put the sub matter?? |

Bronze Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 57 Registered: Aug-04 | really...I really dont know much at all about building boxs so I just went on a site that calculates it depending on what u want it tuned to and on the AA site it said 35 hz so This is what i came up with...any help on what I should do would be greatly appreciated. Im not really sure what you meant by smaller port area |

Bronze Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 59 Registered: Aug-04 | ohhh ic....so even tho the AA site says 35 I should go to like 32?? I am just trying to get something that is going to be loud but I also dont want it to sound bad becuase I will ride in the car everyday. another thing is that i mainly listen to rap if that has anything to do with it at all. |

Post Number: 8741 Registered: Jul-05 | 32hz is really my personal fav tuning so im not saying that u have to - it gives a nice mix of sound quality & loudness with good accuracy 35 is more on the SPL side of things never used a arsenal b4 but seeing that its Fs is = 27hz , 32 should be fine IMO ........ |

Bronze Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 60 Registered: Aug-04 | alright....Thanks. I am just kinda nervous about it cause it is the first box and the first quality system I am putting together and I just want to make sure I am doing everythign right. because the subs I have now are in a horrible box and sound like hell. |

Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 177 Registered: Jan-06 | I have 2 10'' arsenals instead of 12'', but im going for everyday listening moreso, so my original thought was to put it in a sealed box tuned to 35, but since the sub is more SQ, should i go for a 32 tuned port....will that be still good for everyday listening(I listen to a lot of fast rock that has lots of quick double bass pedal) |
