low bass output question

[shizzzon 461]

trying to decide on 2 different setups and basically, if you like loud (40hz area) but also don't wanna lose that low rumble in the 29-32hz area, what setup would be ideal?

all ran off of a 5,000w amp

3 12" Fi Qs(BP option mandatory) Sealed in 4 cubes.

3 10" AQ-HDC3s ported at 37hz.

I know that the 10s are louder but i have never done a setup of this magnitude and am wanting to know really, for someone who may have done something this loud before, what is your opinion on this?

I know the sealed setup, i can get my lows just fine, will not be as loud as the 10s but is it gonna be very noticeable?

Basically, i can give you a scenario-

If i set SSF to let's say to start rolling off at 34hz, you think with this much power that i'll still be able to pull out some major lows with songs such as Late Nite tip, lil jon songs, bass tracks down to 30hz...

If you think i can, then i'll just stick with ported.

I really want the ported design because a lot of songs i listen to peak in the 40hz range so this would be beneficial but some songs that are also very loud are low hitting in the 32hz range. Just wanna make sure i win both ways.

"Low bass" and a 37Hz ported enclosure are nowhere near compatible.

Go sealed...

If you are going sealed, I wouldn't use the SSF.

But sealed is the way to go in my opinion. Superior FR when compared to ported.

I am still trying to get time to build a nice sealed enclosure for my Brahma Mark II

Why, do you want an exaggerated response at certain frequencies?

i have never done testing in sealed enclosures but do they have lower overall impedance rise compared to ported?
