Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4501 Registered: Dec-03 | heh yeah, seen that happen a time or two. it's always fun. the trick to frequency response is to watch the foll-off. a lot of times a speaker may say it's good from 200-30Hz, but when you see the response graph, at 30Hz, it may be down in the grass around -36dB, which essentially means the speaker barely moves, and you won't really be able to hear anything that low.. you need to see the response curve where it's relatively flat then ignore anything below about a -6dB for response. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 4505 Registered: Dec-03 | simply put, your frequency response for a speaker tells you how high and how low a frequency the speaker can produce. in the case of your subs, the high end won't matter, so 200Hz doesn't mean much, but 309Hz is how deep they'll play. human hearing goes down to about 20Hz. ideally you want subs that go down that low, too. if this sub you mention is only 30Hz for the low end of it's response, I'd guess it's a 10" or smaller sub. if so, then it should be alright, though you won't get really deep bass from a 10" sub unless you spend a lot of money to go with a high excursion model like RE's triple X, or a JL 10W7 etc. |
