reminds me of that South Park episode.
Japanese businessman: "You American havu BIG ePenis!"
in regards to tuning that new XXX to 45Hz, yeah it'd be tuned like most prefab boxes are, and bass tubes etc which works fine for daily use, if a bit on the boomy side for my liking. but here's the issue: He's showing off this sub to potential customers, and while a 3 or 4 decibel difference at the peak end isn't going to make or break a sale when showing one off in a car without an SPL meter right in front of you at the store, a ported box needs to be cut off at the port frequency with an infrasonic filter, and port-tuning/cutting the sub off at say, 28 or 32Hz is going to make to sub hit a whole lot deeper and harder in the gut than 45Hz will, which actually will make or braek a sale if someone bases their decision on their ears.
I'll admit though, I base my decisions a lot on how I feel a speaker sounds, instead of how it looks on paper in most cases (geo's subs being an exception because I already know basically how they'll respond, having an XBL^2 sub pair already.) I may not make my decisions the way many do, but I try to get people to audition a speaker before spending hundreds of dollars on them just to find out they don't like the results with their ears.

You're overcompensating if your e-penis is larger than the real deal. You'll need equal or less to not overcompensate. In your case, you'd need to get some of these Aurasound "Whisper" drivers, I've seen videos of them doing 20hz test tonesDarthness wrote:well i only have 2 10" subs. i guess im not overcompensating for anything?
