thorshammer Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Playing below tuning does cause heat. lol Source signal is extremely important when playing with high powered daily apps. Many and I mean many chopped and screwed,downloads from free sites etc... have extremely poor playback and are clipped all to hell. If your source is clipped the rest is done for.

Mha Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 so does the youtube converting cause clipping? I have downloaded converted song and with no bass I could tell the quality was there but when in my car I thought, hay... The bass will drown out the poor quality.

OrionStang Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 "Fs" of an 18 xl is 32, the f3 can be manipulated, right? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727Designs Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 "Fs" of an 18 xl is 32, the f3 can be manipulated, right? F3 has more to do with box design.
