Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 456 Registered: Jun-07 | so i have room for 28 cubic foot box really easy. aq 2200 , right now i am prolly going to get 2 18 RE sx's but! i was also looking at the blt but the site doesn't have any specs on it. but still i am guessing a pair of sx's will be louder just because of the cone area and plus i have all the room. really my question is. should i make the box as big as i can? if i make 28cubic feet box i should think that it will sound very low and yucky, and ill lose spl. just thought i would see what u guys think a good size would be |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 21342 Registered: Oct-05 | damn 28 cuft? you could put a few bodies in there. lol. like jake said 12 cuft is good. |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 457 Registered: Jun-07 | alright. i was thinking 37Hz. would that be alright? i was thinking about 1 btl ha. or 2 bls or something like that. and an other thing that i always get mixed up on. when u say 12 cuft is that counting the port to? so i would be like 4 cuft of port and 8 cuft of the rest of the box? or do u mean like 12 cuft of the box and then 5 cuft of port? (just made the port sizes up but u get the point) |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 21345 Registered: Oct-05 | whenever someone tells you a certain cuft, it means net. after the port and driver displacement. |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 459 Registered: Jun-07 | OOOOOO! thats all i needed to know! thanks! but will 37 Hz be ok? |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 21346 Registered: Oct-05 | 37 doesn't seem that bad. what are you looking for exactly? if you want a bit more flat repsonse and lower extension, you might want to tune lower. from my experiece, the btl really comes alive at 36-38hz so 37 would be good. as for the re sx 18, when i had it i had it tuned to 32hz and it was awesome. tried a higher tuning like 36hz but i didn't like it as much as lower tuning. |

Gold Member Username: Surferdude9371Im BTL Bumpin Post Number: 1043 Registered: Mar-07 | for the btl they suggest you tune about 33hz but if you you want pure spl then go with about 36 |
|
Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 21347 Registered: Oct-05 | its not pure spl when you tune it to 36. one of my box was tuned to 38hz and it got really musical and sounded great. the lows were hitting like crazy on young jeezy's hypnotized. |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 460 Registered: Jun-07 | i don't have a tone of money. but looks like ill be getting a pair of RE SXs i am going to make a wall like i had talked about before. really wat i would like is to get 150db this is something i drive every day, but u can't say there is no way ill get 150 because i have seen a few people with a pair of 18s and 2k watts getting 150 to 152. i want it to sounds good if i can... but more than anything i am just wanting to hit that 150 SO BAD! |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 5229 Registered: Nov-05 | You can't afford one BTL but you can two RE SX 18"s? That don't sound right. 150dB = $$$ Save up. |

Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2491 Registered: Jun-04 | i dont think people realize how hard it r eally is do a 150 .... just cuz u have the equipment doesnt mean its gonna happen ... but good luck man ... |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.1DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 13909 Registered: Jul-05 | 150 on a daily tuned set is very hard to do be realistic & just enjoy ur music if u wanna do 150 i suggest u build another set of box tuned for spl purpose & use that... |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 466 Registered: Jun-07 | i have the money to buy one BTL but not 2. idk. i really think ill get 150 or really close to it. i was getting a 145/146 with one BL and a rockford 1000.1 on music 37Hz . so with a pair of 18s i am thinking 148/149 and with me sealing the box off like this http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w226/zaxfire69/IMG_0745.jpg i am thinking 150 is something i could get close to hitting. then i should be really close to 150. |
