I have dealt with the solo X only in a SPL application for the 10's and 12's   but a street app for the 18.    around 8 cu ft tuned to 34hz      all I can say is wow!   very very very loud, and actually sounded pretty darn good for an SPL woofer.    2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

You made an enclosure for it that had EIGHT cubic feet of space??? That is crazy. Luckily I only have to deal with a SoloX 10. I think the recommended is 2.85 CU.Ft. What did you use to tune it to 34Hz, and how? I have never really tuned anything before, just basic settings on the Apline Deck (CDA-9853).I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

Tuning a box has nothing to do with a deck. Its all in how you build the box. If you use the search function im sure you will find endless amounts of posts about port tuning in boxes. Lots of good info out there. good luck lol"People with mullets live 40% longer"   - Ricky Bobby

lol im trying to follow exactly what you guys are talking about but theres one thing i need to know, what is an SPL woofer?

Ahhh, Port tuning ok. I have resources to learn more about that. Thanks KillerSn. ArcAngel, there is a big debate going on about whether SPL and SQL are even valid terms or categories.

SQL - Sound Quality Level

SPL - Sound Pressure Level

"SPL Woofers" are subwoofers mainly used in competitions to show what setup can achieve the highest db. The biggest consumer subwoofer to date is the MTX Jack Hammer (SRP $7000) It puts out 12000W Peak 6000W RMS dB - Decibel, A unit of measurement for the ratio of loudness.

ahh thanks for explaination melted.

So what your saying is you can either have a system that hits hard as love but sounds doodiety in terms of being able to hera anything but bass -OR- you can have a system that sounds really good but doesnt hit really hard. Correct me if im wrong
