Ian01 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yes, I did a quick search; and yes this could probably be in another section.. anyways with that said.. What does a sub or speaker sound like when it bottoms out? I have some 6x9s running on a 4 channel giving them a little more juice than RMS, and was curious, with the volume cranked I get some noise but I can't really describe it at this moment.. seems to be on certain songs (maybe when a frequency set for that speaker is loud). Subs are ran at RMS on stock power supplies so if that what it is.. I'd be digging out the warranty..

Ian01 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's what I figured, I was thinking like two wood blocks tapping.. that's how I'd describe my situation at least.. guess I should turn down what I can and upgrade my rears when I do my next set up. thanks for the input.

Ian01 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Good point, I'll grab some baffles when I'm in the shop next. Don't really want to put them in a wood box, just not as convinient (sp?) I guess.

Guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 if your 6x9's are bottoming out, you need to use a high pass filter (hpf) to cut out the bass frequencies that your woofers are made to play. ~80hz should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian01 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Another good point.. and since you mentioned it, I did mess with my filters last month.. I'll get on that after my nap!

Mariobjones Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah I wouldn't cross them lower than 80hz bro. And if you're planning on installing subs, I'd definitely put the 6x9s in a pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
