Fi BL 10 Box Tuning for Sedan

[carlopogi 0]

Hi, i just have this dilemma on what to tune my box to for my Fi BL 10 going on the trunk of a Sedan

i saw in the sticky topic that 32hz is the optimal tuning, does that also apply for Sedans? cause i just had this thought that tuning it to 32hz might not give much punch anymore and will only get loud on lows, is 34-35hz better for a Sedan?

Thanks in Advance!

it all depends on what you like to listen to...

i tuned my box to 33hz. and it peaked at 43hz

i listen mostly to hip hop, rnb, and pop music

i talked to the person who's gonna make my box

i think we'll make a t-line box, but im not so sure to what to tune it to

what do you guys suggest, my car is a sedan btw, thanks

I'd make a ported box tuned to 32-34. I t-line is going to be huge.

yep, gonna take 3/4's of my trunk, lol

its all planned out now..

32hz is alright on a 10" BL on a t-line right?

Just remember, you drop the power handling of the woofer in a T-Line.

@johnecon2001

will it still be fine to feed the fully loaded bl 10" with 1500rms in a t-line box?

what would be the best tuning for a t-line ?

im really in a dilemma, half of my mind is saying to just slam the sub on a 33hz ported-flared box instead..

[Smanleyman 15]

Typically a t-line is tuned to the subwoofers fs, in this case either 41.5 for d1 or 40.3 for d2. This seems high but a t-line has lower extension, and the higher frequency results in a smaller box. I don't think I would give it more than 1000 in a t-line.

[johnecon2001 82]

I'd give a stock BL in a Transmission line 800w.

How about you do a normal slot vent?

what exactly will happen to the sub if i feed it like 1500 on a t-line?

sorry i'm quite a noob with t-line..

if its so complicated like that, then i might just stick with a regular ported box .. hehe

what i actually want to achieve is to be heard from few blocks away, thats why i wanted a t-line..

can i achieve that with a ported box?

sorry for such many questions

thanks for the tips guys!

this is where the help stopped. people like you are why there are laws passed that include $1000 fines and vehicle impoundment for noise violations.

no one is going to help you piss off your neighborhood and continue to ruin the hobby for the rest of us. if you want to be loud in public, do it at a sanctioned event on a meter.

naw, i actually only turn up my system at school events / fair

im sorry if it sounded like i am making a bad image for our hobby

1.5@35 worked real well for my 10'' BL. I had 1000w on mine.

For a dayly driver tune it low. Then you will have a SQ set up

[carlopogi 0]

for a t-line box, should i tune it around 37-38?

cuz i read somewhere that t-line boxes doesn't need to be tuned so low anymore since

it can really reach the lowends good already
