What to tune my enclosure to?

[anglerz007]

I have decided to build a subwoofer based off reccomendations from SteveCallas and others on AVSforum. Here are the specs:

--Sound Splinter RL-P15 D2 (dual 2 ohm voice coil [wired in series for 4ohm load])
--Crest CPX900 (bridged 4ohm for 900 watts)
--260 effective liter enclosure

I will use the subwoofer for watching movies, listening to music, and for gaming, so I want to add a port. What should I tune my subwoofer to? If I did sealed I would only get 31.29hz.



BTW, the parameters for the RL-P15 in WinISD Pro are extremely inaccurate for some reason. So if you are going to plot it, you should enter the parameters yourself.

Thanks alot.

Since this is the home audio forum that started the RL-p15" craze, we're pretty familiar with how it models....:wink:

Both sealed and ported get a boost in the bottom end from room gain. So don't think that 31Hz is the lowest you'd get from a sealed box.

Probably want to tune the port to 15Hz or so....
