New member Username: DenrikPost Number: 9 Registered: Aug-05 | hey guys, I'm new to this, as you could probably imagine so I have a question about hertz. I have seen subs that have a frequency range of like say 30hz to 1.2k Hz. And yet with my amp I have it set on low pass frequency and turned down to 40hz (lowest it goes). When I turn it up to 150hz (highest on low pass) my sub sounds crap. Now why would one want a sub that can handle 12.k Hz if its not got any displacement on the quality of bass your getting, am I missing something? Please if someone could explain. Cheers, Dan. |

It's playing what you tell it to, and that's nothing below 150Hz. Standard Coaxial speakers have a Frequency Response of about 60-80Hz in the bass range, so basically, take your door speaker's bass, and amplify it a lot. That's what you're hearing, but even higher! I can't say I see the point in setting the LPF that high, but I'm sure it has it's reasons. I believe it's meant for ported enclosures specifically, as you can set it to the tuning frequency of the port. Although I've never heard of anyone porting higher than 50Hz, and that's for SPL competitions... |
