Power and Peak Frequency Change


Recommended Posts

Every application is different for sure, yes, as my boy bassjunkie said, i´ve lowered the peak frequency of the build by adding more power in the past, this has happened to me only a couple of times , i can give you this statement, adding more power lowers your peak frequency IF THERE´S A CHANGE, once again, this isn´t a constant, sometimes peak doesn´t move at all, i´ve never seen someone that has raised the peak because of adding more power, but you never know!!

If you are gonna meter the car, i would burp the same peak frequency you had before adding more power, and then, i would burp 2 frequencies below that, if score drops then you know the peak frequency it´s the old one or maybe only 1 hz below that, i wouldn´t waste my time burping above the usual peak :)

Glad you replied here, bro. I don't even know the peak of the current setup yet. I plan on running a sweep, then burping that peak. Then doing basically the same thing when the new amp arrives. Thought this would make for good discussion.

I've seen when an increase in power lead to an increased the peak freq. There's a guy in my state who that happen to.

Interesting. Do you know by how much?

He went from doing 56's at 33hz, to 59's at 37hz. Went from 10kw to 20kw.

Damn!!! hahaha you never know then!!!

Stang, sweep it´s not always the best way to go, i always start with a certain frequency depending on your car, box and tuning, for example, my explorer, i use a big box with a 39 hz tuning, i started at 42 hz then 44 hz, score raised, burped a 46 hz and score stayed the same, so i back it up to 45 hz and raied 0.2 dbs, that always work for me way better than the sweep, but once again, every car, person and application are different as obi showed me a couple of minutes ago lol

I assume it's possible, when I see people's clamp results on certain amps they get more power on lower hz test tones or higher depending on the amp, so i'd assume you're peak frequency would change if your amp puts out stupid power at 50hz as opposed to 35hz or vice versa? I hope that makes sense. just my .02 :pardon:

If it´s a show, most common thing is to have only 30 seconds for metering, i guess a sweep would be your best option, try a 10 hz long sweep, for example, a 35-45 hz sweep, a longer sweep than that might not be too accurate, if there´s 2 rounds then it´s ever better, you round the sweep on the first one and on the second round, just burp the peak you had with the sweep and a couple of frequencies below and above that peak :)

anyways, i dunno why i´m talking so much crap, sorry about the off topic lol
