Best Tuning Frequency

Recommended Posts

I realize this is somewhat subwoofer dependent, but what are the best tuning frequencies for different goals like spl or sq. Also what would be a good way to match a subwoofer to the goals, T/S parameters?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If you want a fart box, tune above 38-40 hz. I like the way my 30 hz box sounds.

What do you want your system to do?

I am starting to build boxes and I am getting the hang of it...my friends are asking for me to build them boxes, some with different system goals than others. I would like to know if there are different frequency ranges that will be better for SQ...daily spl...competition spl...etc

Tell me what you think.

It's all woofer, vehicle, and amp dependent.

Fart box = used to burp a particular frequency and will sound like shit on music.

IF tuning low, make sure its a few hz above the SSF of the amp. THIS WILL only matter if the amp has a SSF that is not adjustable. example i.e. IF the SSF is pre set at 30hz, you will want to tune a few hz higher.

So a "fart Box" could be used to maximise spl for a competition if you knew a song that had long single frquency bass?
