Are you building a box so you can do comps or you just want to be loud?
The size of the box has nothing to do with it bottoming out.
Haven't you heard my car? Tuned to 40hz, sounds great to untrained ear but missing out on 60hz to 125hz sucks. Thinking that a 6.5" or a 6x9" will produce that range efficiently without allot of work is madding.
Just think how shity this song would be with out 60 to 125hz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auDv6cf2PBM.
And I hope Ryan corrects me on this but for some reason building a box that fires into a trunk should be NO bigger then half the air space in the trunk, because having your subs firing into the trunk turns the trunk into a 6th order bandpass. |
Everything is wrong with a box tuned to 55Hz. You forget about the F3 roll off... With a high tuning like 55 Hz I would estimate and F3 of like 48 Hz... Thats a horrible tune for rap music... Might be ok for rock music... Will give you more mid bass... Less of a subwoofer and more of a woofer function.
Dont over complicate systems. Sure its like a bandpass. A car itself is a "box" and doing various things will always have some effect.
