inprove your BASS

[alantan]

very simple only..seal your woofer box completely....
make sure there is no air coming out from the box when your woofer kicks hard....

there are 2 way you seal a woofer box
1)use silicon sealant or glue gun to seal ever corners of your box

2)use double sided tape and stick it on the back subwoofer speaker round frame(refer to the picture), stick into a compklete round shape..and then screw it back tighly into your box...this way you can minimize/seal the small gap in between you box and your speaker.....

then plug it back and you are ready to feel you subwoofer that kick even harder now....

*why seal all the gaps? no air will be release from the box will make thesubwoofer rebound less thus more solid

p/s- try to press your woofer and check wheter there;s any woof woof noise..if yes..there's still air coming out..if no then get ready to kick it hard

but bro, im not too sure bout this though.. but im pretty sure when they make a box for the woofer... the whole there has its purpose... :huh:

just my opinion, dun shoot me

that box you are talking about is called a seal type box. there are many kinda subs, boxes have a range as well. seal type, vented, double vented, etc. however, yeah, for the seal box, if you do seal it completely it would cut out rattles for those heavy blasters.
btw, there are a few programs used by sound engineers to determine the optimal box size/shape/type. but if you get a competition woofer, should be stated on the site wut kinda enclosure should it be mounted on.
:D

yep, normally they use silicon glue.

best would b ask some 1 to custom made the box, n the time they r installing, ask them to put in some wood glue between the joint, then do 1 more layer of silicon glue inside.

erm... if outside? what would happen?

 

[drexchan]

have you guys heard of polystyrene beads? those used in filling the cushions or dolls...

heard that putting some of these beads inside the box will improve the bass. The mass to use is very important.

no function :P

 

[gavan]

the stuff to put inside the box is to get either a deeper bass at lower tone or a bass with higer tone, use bass drums on the drumset as examples :D

 

[xtorm]

juz moded my amp, got better bass now! great

 

[ksgoh]

what have u mod for ur amp, xtorm?

 

[KSL]

amp modification?? yea, i'm interested as well... erm, as far as i know, only mod for amps is larger heat sinks so it won't over heat as fast. but gettin better bass, i'm unsure about. what you did to the amp? :D
