Sub tune in sealed box?

What should you tune your subs to in a sealed box?
Got 4 kicker L5s. Want more of the home thearter sound, not the boom.
Listen to all music
Thanks

4 kicker L5's seems like an odd selection for a SQ setup.


im curious to see how you fit this in your truck without removing the seat altogether, or keeping it permanently flipped up.

im not sure on how you would tune them, but i think if you went a little over the required airspace for the subs, you could get the sound you are lookin for.


Low E Red will chime in soon, he and MSall know their stuff.

I dont have them installed yet. Im going to do a blow through with them. I have done this in my last two truck and i love it. Save room, can have mass bass if desired. Im going to start the box here real soon, but i want to build it to sound like the home theater. So if anyone know how to tune it to sound like this that would be sweet
Thanks

Well build box to about 8-10cuft. Then set LP to play low > 50hz. And adjust bass output levels to very low and keep things deadened so it blends a bit better and rattle isnt present (it will pinpoint the subs immediately.)

So do i need individual chambers. Im using a 2 channel amp. 2 subs per channel. Maybe 2 subs in one chamber 2 in the other?
Thanks

I would recommend 4 separate chambers because it needs a good bit of bracing if you ever decide to jump on it. But 2 is perfectly fine. What amp is it? I may have a better way to wire/run it.
