Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 206 Registered: Nov-05 | is it bad if a sub goes from 18 HZ all the way up to 700HZ...someone told me that u dont need itto go past 100bc all the other speakers get those ranges....so if i were to buy a sub that goes to 700 would that be bad??..or do i port the box and have it tuned so the sub doesnt go near 700 HZ? |

Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 733 Registered: Jan-05 | you set it on the amp, i think its called lpf[low pass filter] and hpf[high pass filter] it filters out all the hz above the hpf and below the lpf i think u might wait untill some1 that knows more about it answer. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3803 Registered: Jun-04 | one thing I do want to point out though is IF you wanted to you could use a large speaker as a midbass instead of as a subwoofer cutting out the low end all together.......something we sometimes forget we can do |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3804 Registered: Jun-04 | this brings me back to an idea i shared on ecoustics before...if you had an amp like i do with seperate gains one for each channel you could use a fmod or seperate electronic crossovers to filter at different frequency ranges say one at sub range and another at midbass but this would require a bandpass filtering effect the way im thinking of it now....the advantage to approaching the setup the way im saying is that MOST amps are stable at a lower ohm in stereo than they are in mono so you have more wiring options that way if you need it plus you can use one amp to do what would have taken two amps to do normally |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3810 Registered: Jun-04 | to the budget minded individual it could work well but lol your right 3 mm xmax isnt too good but depending what you wanted to do with it say a computer subwoofer or home audio diy subwoofer heck even a homemade sonotube type tline it might do the job im considering building a sonotube type tline with one of the 6.5 pyramid midbasses i picked up off my buddy for 4 of them at 10 bucks total ...they have a 67 hz fs i believe ...ive never built a tline and im curious |
