box tuning

[wp7456 10+ year member]

I am looking at getting a 12" FI Q and was wondering if I tuned it to 32 hz., how bad would the drop off be for below 32 hz? Would it be too severe to hear notes like the 27 hz. note in "Put On". I would be using an 08zx750.1 if that matters.

If I wanted to tune the box to say, 27 hz., would my higher frequencies suffer more than if it was tuned to 32 hz? I also have a SSF in the amp that is set to 25 hz. Thanks guys.

The lows will be sexy and you will be just fine on the highs. im pretty sure Fi recommends 32Hz. and thats about where you want it. you will hit 27hz like a champ and you'll hit 45 like a champ too.

32hz will be perfect. below 30hz you really dont get much use on music. 32hz will give you all the lows you need and the higher notes will still be excellent. with 27hz youll be losing out on the higher notes for not much noticeable gain on the low end. youll be able to get 3-5 hertz below the tuning freq before the ssf needs to cut off the signal. so at 32Hz you're still getting 30hz and just a lil below.

ludacris - blue berry yum yums is really low, but still above 30hz.
