the box is tuned to 34 hz with one type - r i posted the vid earlier. i ordered a hifonics 1606 d and ater reading spec tingleing with joy i realized it had a sub sonic filter. after i read that i remember the other day a kid telling someone on here to make sure the amp has a sub sonic filter. so what should the filter and low pass be set at for ideal conditions in a ported? i'm just tryin to find out since the amp arrive monday. help always greatly apperciated.

just for the record i never tuned a sub sonic filter before and unsure as to how it works.

i'd set the ssf to about 28hz. or so and the lpf to about 70-80.

^A lot of times the subsonic filter doesn't actually cut off where it's marked on the amp, it's better to do a bit of testing with that. I'd go around 30hz to be safe, but that's your call. The lower you can cross everything over the better it will sound, bringing your stage to the front. I'd say 60hz would be good, but that depends on your how beefed up your midrange is.

It depends on what it's tuned to, but hopefully similar.

SSF should be set a few hz below the tuning frequency. Reason is that a sub becomes "unloaded" (the box provides no suspension) when played below the tuning frequency. Without the SSF it is very easy to damage the sub with too much excursion, as there is nothing holding it back.
