Is 42Hz tuning frequency bad for my daily driver. (Bbox Pro Series Dual 10-Inch Shared Vent Subwoofer Enclosure (Charcoal))

I had one of these boxes before and it does sound good. But there are some issues with a ported system. One,the speaker can get away from its web. Two,a sealed box will hit lower than any ported system.. You need a lot of power for a ported system to hit really low. I ran two power bass 10"s of a kicker mono 250 amp in a sealed box and I never heard something hit so low in my life. Just make sure you have a amp that has 18-db bass boost on it

The description says "Optimized for use with subwoofers" I'm guessing it's not high fidelity. My sub sounds fine hooked up to it, but if I was going to hook up some regular powered speakers, I'd buy something that's advertised for that purpose.

Regular tuning has worked thus far for me... If it's going to sit for a while, tuning it down may not be a bad idea.

I am able to drive it at 8 Hz with similar response as above 25 Hz. I have no need to go lower, so not sure of response below that.

This big box is 2.25 per sideafter all displacements. Tuned to 40 but I measured 38hz.

Based on the most technical of measurement tools, ie. SPL meter on my phone and frequency stepper on YouTube, I estimate right on 50Hz. Possibly as low as 45Hz but unlikely. I'll get back to you with a better idea in a few weeks when the sub arrives. Edit: after a long wait the sub arrived. It seems the optimum crossover for a sub is roughly 50hz. If you are looking for the crossover between the 8" subs and the horn tweeters then the answer is 2000hz.

what Max K says is true if there is a way to change the code and there instructions on how to do it. Otherwise check the outside of the box it came in as to the Hz that it runs on them if it isn't changeable find another one of a different frequency. TFCOR

Frequency response is 85hz to 22kHz. There is no published graph or information for the crossover frequency. There is a crossover installed in these and most all multi-speaker units. I just installed these to replace cheaper Kenwoods. These produce down to 85 Hz bass and put out an excellent 91dB. The Kenwoods only covered down to 100Hz at 85 dB. Also the best way to install them is to use the DEI 050311 Boom Mat 4" Round Speaker Baffle behind them. They give much better bass response with the baffles installed. The mats are available in pairs right here on Amazon. You can use this link: DEI 050311 Boom Mat 4" Round Speaker Baffle - Pack of 2 Frequency response is 85hz to 22kHz.

Dear Bill, Thanks so much for the advice. I set the speaker for speaker pattern 3/2.1 which I assume means three in the front, two in the back and subwoofer.. and produces 5.1 sound. Anyhow, sounds good to me and the RCA cable works fine. Had the Protector message come up and shut down the tuner a few times... I eventually figured out the the dangling speakers wires going from my A and C speakers that I had disconnected from subwoofer were causing the problem... Disconnected them from the speakers also and normalcy returned.. Again Thanks.....John

I have two sa 12's down firing in a box I custom built at 2.19 cu per sub with the ports meeting in the middle facing back. Powered by fosgate 1100a2. Its the loudest system I've heard out of a truck. It flexs my windows

Sealed: 2 cu-ft, will be it's loudest with a 40.5Hz tone.Ported: 4 cu-ft, (2) 4" diameter ports that are 11.75" long, tuned to 29.7Hz, with an F3 of 28.1Hz. The Fs of the sub is 24.1Hz, I personally usually tune 2-3Hz below the rated Fs of the sub, which would put the tuning frequency around 21Hz.They've updated their specs on site, I'll adjust the specs I listed accordingly.

Well I have two quantum cosmic series 12's on the 2.1500 and it sounds like my jeep is going to rattle apart. Both of my subs are rated at 1200 if I'm not mistaken . I'm happy with it's performance on both subs. Recently I bridged it onto just one of the subs and it sounds fine but it just won't tune right . But to answer your question I'm satisfied . As long as your not trying to hit on the db meter you'll be satisfied with the performance and the price

The true frequency of this subwoofer it 27-150 hertz. The 50-150 hertz is the crossover range for the subwoofer if you are using the normal input. However, if your receiver offers an LFE(low frequency effects) then you do not need to adjust that on the sub. The adjustment will be made on the reciever. In addition, I haven't found a movie or music signal that this sub won't pick up on the low end.

I bought 4 of these for my HK520 and love them. They are great for music and movies but if you like it loud, they will need some help from a subwoofer. If you run them by themselves, make sure you switch the receiver's speaker setting to small speakers. If not, you will damage them because they can't handle low frequencies. I set my crossover at 100hz and they sound pretty good. Hope that helps.

Ya it knocks for the price. Really depends on your cab size. I have a large bodied car and it still hits really hard. Buy thick guage wiring. Keep the frequency to medium low and the level just below max

I have a Victory Judge with aftermarket exhaust which is substantially louder than stock. At highway speed, no one I talk to can tell I am on the highway. As for the speakers, they are more tuned for voice than music (I.e not too much bass) but I still like em a lot and can hear my music at 70+ mph.

A 4 cubic foot ported box tuned to 32hz. I have two in my car, for the price they are great.
