Posted July 19, 200817 yr What is the optimal box size (cubic feet) and port area (square inches) for a 12" BTL? Tuning to about 35 Hz.
July 20, 200817 yr Author http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7153Please don't do that, I hate when people assume I'm an ignorant moron. I know the recommended. I'm asking in real situations, what has worked the best for a 35 Hz tuning, daily setup. I understand you think I don't know what I'm talking about, but please assume that I do. 1.75-2.5 is a little too broad for me. Please let me know if you know what the absolute optimal for the sub is. Thank you very much for replying, though.
July 20, 200817 yr dude. why not try it out. there is no magical amount. try 2 cubes with 13 s q. inches per cube.
July 20, 200817 yr There is no 'magical amount' they are all generalized for you to figure out what will work best in your install and your musical tastes. This is what DIY is all about.Stay within the ballpark and your good to go for a musical and daily driving scenario.If you want a more pronounced bottom end and less mechanical power handling and a slight more 'boomy' sound go with a box on a bigger end of the spectrum.If you want a less pronounced bottom end and more mechanical handling and a 'tighter' more accurate sound go with a box on the smaller end of the spectrum...Thanks!-Nick
