You remind me of a college professor in sound engineer. You are very smart and I love it.

You hit some of the most important points. It is very difficult to get people to understand how a car can change your tune. The car is an enclosure! Love your videos man

i come from a small southern town. most ppl here listen to country and i can confirm, a lot of country SLAMS.

I love to move air. I tuned to 29.75 in my current vehicle. It peaks at 35 Hz but plays all the way down to 20 Hz without flutter. I love re-bass stuff but unfortunately I also like hard rock so it’s almost like I need 2 completely different set ups for different music. I find that if I tuned to 33 to 35 Hz yes it plays my Pantera better but then it doesn’t move the air that I want when things get down to around 20 Hz

I played a 33hz time in my van and turned it up... the most clean/ violent bass I've heard so far💯🔥

I listen to everything rap, hip hop, club, rock and country... I tuned mine to 35hz and found it to be a great median. It’ll play in the low 30’s while carrying a gain into the 50’s.... great info without the bias!

Everyone can't be wrong, everyone's that got ur custom box says the same thing. Loud and amazing. My experience coming soon, keep up the great work.

Can’t go wrong with a good ol sealed box

32-33hz is the sweet spot for me as well. I tune to 32.5 when using winisd, that gives me a margin of error of +/- .5, cause I make my own flared aero ports and they are never exactly the same. lol

I love this guy man.. Please keep making these video’s! I respect people so much that have no problem sharing there knowledge with other people wanting to learn about it. I’m a sub contractor and I am the same way in my profession I love to give advice and help people. But your videos help me understand so much better and easier then any other video on KZfaq man. And I have been diagnosed with a learning disability since I was 5 years old, and still to this day it’s hard for me to really learn and remember how to do something. You made it so much easier for me to understand just by having a conversation and explaining everything. Thank you so much for your time bro for doing these videos it really means a lot.

Country music today has serious knock in it. It gives hip-hop a run for its money in audio department, and not just in bass but the mids and highs too. A well balanced system will turn country music into a full blown outdoor concert.

I agree, my sweet spot always been 32hz on hip hop which is my main stream of music. I smash them lows and it’s so clean and precise. Moneybag and Yo G - Fed 2 straight knocks

My 12” Ground Zero GZIW 300 X-|| (FS 30.8HZ) in my home is tuned to 34HZ, got a great bass frequency response. I can hear bass all the way from 25HZ and up.

Bored with my 2-18” Skar subs. I’m going to start building up an enclosure for my old school Phoenix Gold Xmax subs. I’m a sucker for carbon fiber cones. Great channel!!

I love that you give your thoughts and share your experience

I bought a skar preloaded box with svr 10's tuned to 36hz it does very good for the price I paid.

Thank you that was very helpful and educational I always thought the lower the tuning the better

My rampage XMV4 is tuned to 30 and I love it. It plays all my music very well. I had a NSV3 12” tuned to 30 and it did low lows and loved that too. Now I don’t know what I’m a do next. I do love that I can play hip hop and rock and still get all those notes to play on this XMV4.

The Skar vfx has a flat response and peaks where u tune it. The Fs is 33hz but that thing played in the mids 20s n up to the mid 40s. In a box tuned to 34hz ported box.

Damn man ppl should be paying for this knowledge your dropping. Sure taught me alot!!. How can I go about getting an enclosure from you??

Great info on tuning enclosures per your needs. Keep up the great work MB 💯♥️💪

I hear you MB Ive been experimenting with many tunings and MY sweet spot is around 38hz....36 is nice but for me I like that hard hitting bass drum but still be able to get down there a bit. 42 hertz sounded great with punchy music like country but you lose that low end a bit....so I decided ,for me, 36-38 is my sweet spot and i try to build in the middle of the manufacturers recommendations on air space....I know for you to get that 33hz low end hum you got to add that air space...no way around it. Im just the middle guy little bit of both......but that amp makes a difference to....most folks just look at power and thats it....for me i need high damping...and low distortion....i also don't like to run at 1ohm because it stresses out the amp so i think its better to get a 3000 watt amp at 1ohm and run it at 2 ohm.....keep that headroom form accuracy. Just my opinion....love what you do ...

I’ve tuned to 30, 31, 32, 35 & 38. It seems like 32-34 is the sweet spot for hitting lows and still getting some spl

33hz ftw!

You make A LOT of sense. Tune the box for the application AND (main) program.

i like this video a lot! keep up the good work. you share lots of useful information

Bro I just really love your work.. It's really interesting and inspiring 💪👍👌💯

All right all right, dude is wealthy in knowledge here. Thanks for this.

Damn I wish I had a 33hz tuned box but only have had 40 and above so far. Great explanation and the mic helps alot. Makes a difference in hearing your voice in the videos.

808s hit hard between 29-35 hz

Designs built around sub specs will net a flat response if done properly. Granted your right, all subs peak at certain frequency's(also known as FS), it is the enclosure designers job to find what the intended application is, and build around that. Just got into building enclosures myself. I tune low, and use smaller port area for sq oriented builds, to off set the typical natural drop in output at the low end of the spectrum(below 30hz typically). For more spl oriented builds, where the customer wants loud ,and willing to sacrifice some bandwidth, a larger port tuned a bit higher(or lower pending user preference and music) will net bigger numbers, but then ya start stepping away from that flat response. Most that listen to real Music, want a flat response. It's a trade off, no free lunch here. Also to note, cabin gain should be accounted for. Cabin gain can vary depending on where the mic is placed. Typically lower "mid bass" is amplified through cabin gain, 30-50hz pending vehicle. I try and place the microphone at driver headrest for vehicle testing, before plotting out a enclosure design. That's where the listener sits, and the most important in my opinion. Unless they are chasing numbers. Being a good enclosure designer is mostly understanding what the customer is listening to most of the time, and building for that customers expectations, vehicle, and equipment. A bass whisperer if you will.

Great Info... I'm a proud customer...Dual under seat box for my Serria 2 x8...Sounded Great..

Thanks for the knowledge MB.

Great topic!! I go with 25 in a small car. If you don't need to be the loudest, you get a sweet belly massage

Your are absolutely right 💯👍

Informative video.. thx

I listen to mostly HipHop and Reggaeton with some old school HipHop and RnB I just bought a 05 Yukon Denali and it got them 3 rows of seats rear are bench and I could remove them but I don’t want to lose my seats I want to go with really clear and loud on the factory locations and for subs I’m thinking a box for 6 8” subs that will fit behind the third row My other truck is a Chevy Trailblazer and I have 2 12” soundquebed HDS2 and a custom box with 6 6.5 mids DS18 with 3 DS18 bullet tweeters

I think my box was tuned to 33 hz. In my truck it peaks @ 31 hz. It plays great from 28-40 hz. I also have 8's. 4 of them.

What a good tune for a chevy s10 extended cab for 2 12's

Yess. You so hit. So many miss the app. Once you put it in a vehicle it turns the whole vehicle into a 8th order.

huge fan man of your channel, i was curious how come you never mention FI audio? is that a subwoofer you recommend or worked with before?

I have the newest version so it’s 1500rms and I have an Orion xtr1500.1 and a pioneer gem-d8604 and I have a 250amp alternator with the big3 so I should be good on electrical. My issue is I’m not any good with winisd but I think I’ll watch a tutorial and give it a try. I’m not concerned with using my trunk as I have other vehicles if needed

I tune my boxes between 29 to 32hz, if you play a track like "let my beat pound" you will hear a big difference between a box thats tuned between 38 to 41hz and one tuned lower. I just like hearing those low notes it also sounds fine to me when I play other kinds of music but thats just me.

Spot on man.. I think you tuned me at 32 hz and it works well

I listen to alot of music like tupac, ice cube ect and then i listen to alot of mexican corridos. What do you reccomend

This confuses me, if you tune your box to 33hz, this is the point when your sub stops moving , so how can it play loudest here with no movement of air ???

My box is 33hz and play like it has an epicenter

A skar EVL 18 inch sub.. Do you consider that a peaky sub or flat? I got em, sealed em cause i just like that feeling in my body from sealed bass, i bearly oversized the box, hits perfect. Hits super low and mean. I find that yea its loudest in the 30 hz somewhere.. probably 31 - 38 hz.. it gets all the way down low but yea bass rolloff is a b!tch.. ported can bring that low end decible up but i dont like ported most the time. Once in a great moon someone builds a ported box correctly. lol I just like lots n lots of watts and lot n lots of subs to get it.

Is 34hz pretty good as well for rap music

GOOD WORD!

I had to tune high (41) to fit a u15 on my back truckseat and it was loud but has nothing below 35. Did audio guy taught me that a little below tuning basically voids the port

That police officer needs to learn the knees to balls tecnique

⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I’m running at 37hz I like the way it sound for my baby dual 8in L7 subs

@mbenclosures hey man love the vids, had 2 type rs for 10 years lol i just got two 12 ct sound mesos was gonna get the resilent souds gold 12 but i wana try to keep the weight down i would love to get a box built from you would love a horn/t line enclosure bout i doubt it would fit since u keep sayin there big, i do have a big car genesis g80 but i would seal the box off (wall)and keep the middle opening on the back seat down

MB . The higher the box tuning. Plays louder. Around the vehicle or truck. Thanks. ??

Does the tunning change if my box is in my trunk but the sub and port are facing the inside of my car?

33 MB a Freemason

I'm running 2 mtx 5500 12s they hit hard I heard they are hard to blow up which is good for me

people like me that like bass and likes all genres of music are kinda screwed. no matter what I do some songs in my playlist will hit and some won't. I had the idea to put 2 separate boxes in the car with different amps and tunings, but everywhere I look that gets discouraged and called a bad idea, and because the hobby is expensive I never do since it'd be trying something everyone says is a bad idea.

What’s the best type of port for all genres of music? And what’s the best sub size 8’s or 10’s?

MY two genres are techno and rap. What subwoofer would be best?

What would be a all around musical box? Jazz, hip hop, rebass, decafe, r&b, reggae, oldies using a Epicenter, country, blues, etc. i listen to all genere of music.

Hi buddy will 33hz still hit 40 to 42 hz I've got a dd 610 in a 40hz box it struggles on lows for example " on my level " last note on the drop it struggles so would 33 or 35hz be better thanks

What tune for Country Music: Josh Tuner, Your man…. What frequency can make that bass guitar 🎸 peak out at?🤔

MBE Brother I Always Wanted A Alpine Type R 12" Sadly Its Not What I Expected It Sounds Good Playing Hiphop Im Using A 1400.1 CT Sounds Amplifier With A Big 3 XS Battery AGM Battery, But When I Play Latin Track Salsa/Merengue Its Not What I Expected Any Suggestions?

I got a question, What do you think is the best position of a 18" sub and port location in a Suburban with the third seat removed? I am thinking Sub facing up with the port facing to the back and at the bottom of the box. Your thoughts please

Have you ever done a series tuned 6th order you can get a pretty flat response with just about any sub

I have a MTX 9500 series 12" in my Acura mdx, kicking s.h.i.t still. I'm looking for something to replace it. Any recommendations. Brand and model. I heard the Massive audio hippos and they sound good. Want better than what I have and more. Suggestions please.

This why you specify how you want your enclosure tuned to where I'm from Houston tx all the stereo shops like to build subwoofers enclosure tuned to 45 hertz don't like the sound to be honest with you?

I have a 1990 BMW e30 convertible my trunk is separate from my interior ., I have a 12 inch American bass hd when I put the top up bass is loud but when I put the top down bass goes away considerably it’s ported box looking for more output out that 1 sub what can I do

Hey don't mean to bother you but I got 2 avatar stu 12's on 45 amp hour c max on soundqube6k I clamped 146.9 only cause my box is 3.8 cubes I'm thinking my box is too small so now I'm getting a custom Baltic birch with 8 inch aero port in middle and my box is going to be 5 cubes tuned to 32hertz would I be good for a lil lowes and the meter with 32 hertz

I would love to hear you Intel on bandpass boxes 6th order partially.. 2 separate tuning 28hz on bottom 50hz main port..

What about dj screw?

33hz best hz

Hey mb I have a db drive g5 12inch what Tuning you recomend for a pickup truck and I have an epicenter plus with a 30hz chip

You recommend 33hz for a 13W7 in an suv? Im thinking 4-4.75 cubes. Hip hop only whats your thoughtd on 25hz ?

Why I love MBE = Building Bad Ass Enclosures...

LAMB OF GOD. Chris Adler that's the shit I listen to, between my alpine type x 12s and my old school jlw6v2s ... old school 2003 subs nothing can compare... SQ over SPL all day everyday. Let me know what your running and if you can make this song sound like an M-60 machine gun........

I think I am suffering that problem with this box that came with a sub and even when I changed to another sub it sounds about the same not really putting out the music the way I would like. So the box is "tuned" and even with a better amp connected to the sub. The amp is putting out really well the weak part seems to be the box.

Salute!

Hi, I am watching Your Channel recently. I want to Buy Enclosure Design Blueprint for Kicker L7R 15" 4ohm DVC 900RMS. Can you tuned it for me 32Hrzt please?

Iyo what's the ideal net volume for a sundown x15 on 3000watts. Amp is the sundown audio scv-3000

Hello is 90 sensitivity and the Xmax is 33mm for 10 inch subwoofer. In your opinion do you think it is efficient

Are you talking about crossover tuning, or actual software tuning?

MB Question for you... how important is the correaltion between a subwoofers (FS) compared to the Enclosure Tune? Example: Box is Dual 10 inch... (2.8 cube, Kerf Ported to 36) will be going into a Sedan and rear seats both can fold down. And I mainly listed to Hip Hop I am shopping for good decent subwoofers (10 inch) what should these subs be at ideally in regards to (FS)? Should I be looking for (FS) below or above the 36hz box tune? ie: 32/33hz or 38/40hz etc. Any info will be appreciated..

What should you tune a toro tech 12 force one single box 38 hz or 30 hz

what do you think of a 6 cu box for a 2004 suburban tuned at 33 or 34 ? i listen to alot of old school like zapp and roger and i also listen to rap from nwa and 2 live crew to future and 21 savage. also the reason for a 6 cu box is because im debating on 2 sundown u 12’s or x 12’s wanted to see what would be your opinion, with either option theyll be played with a sundown sfb 5k

MBE I WILL GET 2, 8'S DB DRIVE what should u tune the box

I would like your opinion on american bass xfl vs hd

After messing around with my box tune I wound up with a tune of 38 hz .

How about a set of say sony xplodes. I recommended a frend to get a 4 cu box for it tuned to 32hz was I wrong to suggest that he listens to hiphop mostlly but his gf likes some country. I gave him and eq 6500 to be able to feed the sub higher frequency's for country thought that would cover it. Im asking cause he I guess bought something online so I hope i didn't stear him wrong. I know no matter what it'll blow away the prefab those sony's came in. that was all blown apart.

Would you still tune to 33 hz if your cabin peak was 38hz

What do you suggest for my 4 HCCA Orion 12’s in a 72 Cutlass??

OG I got the same amp as u the Rockford 1500 bdcp and I have a ported box tuned to 33 hz. What should I set the frequency hz im assuming that's the low pass filter setting on the Rockford to? 🤔

What hz would you recommend for 2 12s for a trunk in a sedan?hip hop music. Bass sounds better when seat are folded down at 32hz would it sound better with the seats up if it’s tuned higher?

Hey buddy what would u tune the port for 2 12 wdx g2s but I listen to old school Spanish music and some what hip hop

On the average, how much does the box tuning decrease when placed in the truck

I like to feel the lows and be windy. But I also like to listen to high bass. I have a single Xv3 18. What type of box should I build for the best performance. I will hook it up to a bc4k at 1 ohm

What do you think about the quantum 15 qw5000 d4
