Low tuning in wall?

Recommended Posts

If you do a wall i would run a min of 10k, when putting that much work into walling off your ride and only running small power is a waste of time IMHO.

I'm running about 8k in a S-15 ext cab....

So if you wall it get that shit moving with 15k!!!!

Note: i forgot what subs your running lol

Nightshade V.2's can take a decent amount of power butt idk about that much lol. I would run a SAZ-4500d or equivalent power to each sub If I end up going all out which it a MAJOR possibility.

Is there a possibility of changing subs?

Yes, I could change subs but I live like 10 mins from sundown so it is very convenient for me to pick up my subs + I already have 1 18. I could do 3 18's but my port would have to be over the subs all the way across which seems a bit unorthodox to me. I could also do 4 15's.... Then it just comes down to the cost of things lol.

(2) 21" drivers would be amazing ;)

I have a V.2 right now in my car (Great subs BTW). I have 600$ in hand to drop on another sub..... and I actually debated on whether or not to get some 21's but decided against it because the most cost effective thing would to just get another NS V.2 or a third haha.

The v.2's take hell of a lot of power to be honest, if you have enough space, i'd do 4-15's recone the 18's to 15's then wall that shit!

I would say 30hz would be plenty low. There is not much music that plays below that and you box is not going to stop at 30 it would play a little below that.

Honestly, I was thinking of stuff from like the 25-26 hz range.... Right now my box is tuned to about 29 hz with one NS. V.2 18 and I still desire a lil more low end output...I love Ed Hicks setup peaks at 155.2 db at 25hz with only 9k watts If I could do a 150 at 25hz I would be sooo fuckin happy. 4th order time?

Umm, you are already running a 4th order.

Hey thanks guys I guess I have come to the conclusion that I should just keep tuning the same and just double cone area and power and after that think about lowering tuning... Sound about right?

I'd try a Bandpass personally if I was going to get low again. :)

Terrible idea. Tuning really low and bandpass won't exactly let you play music. By default they are going to pass a small band.

And yes, doubling your cone area and power is a much better idea than lowering your tuning. Assuming of course you have enough space.

Haha my bad I was saying 4th order as in a 4th order bandpass and forgot that all ported enclosures are also 4th order enclosures... and I guess that is not a very good idea then...
