subs.. any opinions?

ok. if i tune to 27 though, dont i need pretty strong midbass woofers since the subs wont be playing higher tones? i dont know how it works but im assuming the lower you tune, the lower the cutoff is for higher frequencies. if this is the case, my 6x8s are sony and put out pretty shitty midbass. id like to make sure my subs will still hit some of the higher notes (maybe 90hz and below?) i dont know much about frequencies.. help me out

well bumpinstang i live in toledo... i wish i could come down just to hear em anyways but i think im gonna end up goin with the kickers..

now before everybody kills me for goin with the 'worst' subs on the list.. consider that this is the first sub setup ive put in my car so sq isnt a huge deal to me right now since i havent gotten used to it... also the moneys gettin tighter as the days go by and the vrs were the cheapest (2 for about $150).

also, the biggest reason that i dont really care so much about what i have for the time being is that when i have the money im gonna sell the kickers and buy an actual system.. meaning components and probably 3 ways aimed at sq (with an amp for all speakers) and probably a brahma or xxx. (not to mention prolly a couple hundred worth of sound deadening)

so i guess for now the cheapest subs will do. as it is i have a sony HU and cheap sony speakers without an amp. cant wait til i actually have an income and can buy real speakers hah thanks for the input anyways guys.

well tuneing all depends on how much SPL yo uwant and how flat you want your responce curb to be. low 30's gives good balence for most woofers. tuneing in the mid-high 20's will give you responce almost as flat as sealed.... and still have a 3dB gain and louder in the lower Hz's.

also thanks but i think ill go sealed for these kickers to try and save some sq without confusing the hell otu of myself with port lenghts and all that.. plus for now id like to save some space.. plus i heard that subs arent under quite as much stress in sealed boxes because of the suspension pressure from the air... even though this really doesnt matter to me cause im gettin rid of em after a while .. but still thanks for the info
