It's a Ford Contour 98 and the box is 2CF ported tuned to 32Hz. In my opening post I put 3 CF but nah its 2 CF. I'll take it easy the first few hours. Play some 30Hz Test songs and swine waves and stuff just to be on the save side. Just wondering if you guys broke you subs in.

With the box you tuned to 32hz you really dont want to play anything under that. Once you go under what the enclosure is tuned to, its like running the sub free aired (no enclosure.)

Some people do break in their subs by playing them free air, but they barely run any power at all to them.

I think you'd be much better off setting your subsonic filter to 30-32hz and playing the subs at a reasonable volume for the first couple hours.

2cuft is the sweet spot, it'll make you feel as giggly as a school girl.. The next thing you know youre in the back seat with it bouncing around in your lap while you what the cones jiggle up and down!!!!! ahhhhhh

It'll be so awesome, just remember to wear protection! :happy055:











Hearing protection you perv's, get your minds out of the gutter.
