so i got my alphas right now tuned to 38hz, like rd recomends and they sound good/great on most songs...but theres a few select songs when it sounds like they want to hit lower, or should i say ive also heard it in other ppls cars and it sounds much different, like a lower rumble, whereas mine is like a loud quick hum on the same song...would i benefit from tuning it lower or would it change the way other songs sound...? i was thinking around 32hz...thanks
I have my 12" tuned to ~32 hz and it does the lows pretty nice, but I'm building a new box this weekend b/c the one I have now isn't built for the alpha, and I'm tuning it to ~34.75-35hz, Steve recommended that to me, told me it would still hit the lows just as well, I just wanted more freq response for the higher f's
bump anyone else...? would 32hz be good...or does neone else have ne recomendations i jsut dont feel like its hitting the lows like it shoulde be....lowering the sub sonic filter would be bad right?....cuz then the sub would bottom out....
I think you will be losing the higher freq you're used to going down that far from 38hz, that's why I'm doing ~35 hz. I'll let you know how it sounds this weekend, hopefully the parts come in on time.
For those saying that a box tuned at 35hz will hit the lows the same as a box tuned to 32hz well...I'd just like to see some proof of that by showing me frequency response.
thanks for the input im gunna go for, if it doesnt work then ill jsut put the ports back in to tune it to 38hz...damn i knew i should of made an interchangable port lol..o well maybe i will this time around....
