Hey all, I was wondering if you could suggest tuning, as well as a suggested internal volume for a SQ setup? Thank you...I appreciate it!

^^^ wow that was bad

well if you want a pure SQ setup you'd go sealed, but the ported box won't sound bad either...

so if you port it i'd put it in a 4cuft box

lol I was wondering there If I do not lose much SQ going ported, I'll take the extra SPL cuz I am leaning towards just doing one 15". Do you lose much SQ??? Also, what would the difference between 28 and 30HZ...not much?

you don't lose sq. infact i prefer the sound of ported than sealed.

you won't notice much difference by ear but still tune it 28hz.

if you want louder and a bit boomier bass, you can tune it to around 36hz. at 36hz it still hits the lows.

I guess I don't quite understand...sorry. You said at 28hz "let it rumble the sh!t out of your neighborhood," and at 36hz bass would be "louder and a bit boomier." I guess I don't get the difference

I will enjoy either one...and they will be loud enough no matter what. I wanna FEEL it!

So is this like the box I should build for an SUV? If so, where would the sub and port face?

i'd face the sub up and port to the back.

or sub to the back and the port to the side if there is room on the side of the box.

does putting sub up, port back do anything for sound quality or just SPL? and i thought that only did something with hatchbacks and SUVs, what about trunks?
