I installed my enclosure today, and I'm very impressed with the way it turned out...its exactly what I was looking for. I am having some issues tuning my JL 500/1 amp. I've used one of the setups from their web page, but they don't use my speaker, I have the 13TW5. If anyone else has this setup, and is happy with how they have their amp, could you please help me so I can get the most from my speaker. Thanks in advance...

Here are my recommendations to start with:

Set filter slope to 24db

Set crossover to 65 Hz

Turn off Infrasonic Filter (This switch is generally used for ported enclosures)

Turn off Bass EQ (At least at first)


Bass EQ Settings:

I would start the Center frequency at 40Hz, Any higher or you will get too much upper bass from this sub.

Also do NOT turn Boost beyond +10

I would set the Q to a wide setting to begin with (1.6 or 2.7)

I agree with most except infrasonic... I would leave that "on" in this application. That will eliminate any frequency lower then 30 hz not go to the sub via amplifier. Human ear can not hear about 20Hz and down anyways and there are very afew recordings that will reproduce 25-30 hz, this allows the amp and subwoofer to work a lot more efficiently. Less heat on amp and less workout for the suboofer for a sound you will not be able to hear.

Great results with our 370Z magic box. we are continuing the special for the forum members, and still have a great package with Sub and amp when you call. Infact we can put together a great package for a complete system... I will guarantee the pricing.
