Bump4life Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 if you have a good speaker and enclosure design you can pretty much play any daily music. i tune to 37hz. i listen to all music. it plays rap with authoity and rock and classical and everyting in between. generally if all yo ulisten to is rap you want to tune lower. if you never listen to rap or any low bass heavy music tuning higher is ok.(40hz and above) Quote Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

TheNewbie Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Lol, your probably hearing clipping rather than bottoming out Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTMANTHAKID305 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 ok. you cant really "tune" a ported box with your amp. i mean you sorta can. ok so your box is tuned at a specific frequency. most likely it is a 45 hz + tuning. most prefab boxes are high tuned. most of the time you want to set your subsonic filter about 5 hz below tuning frequency to protect woofers. in your case, i would think that your port area on that box is too small and you may get enough pressure to save your woofers. try this. set your subsonic at about 30 hz. and your LPF at about 80 hz and play a wider variety of music and make sure speker doesnt bottom out. ( you hear a click noise) or you here the woofer unloading where no tone is produced and speaker is flailing and moving air. then set your gain accordingly trying not to clip. you can adjust your subsonic and LPF to see what they do. the lower you set your subsonic filter, the more lowend you will bring out, but if you bring too much out you can wreck your woofers from unloading. find the sweetspot where you get most bass and lowend and speakers still protected. Thanks that's what i was looking for all along, so in all essence when i have a box built i have to select the frequency i want to play it at mainly and i tweak it with that frequency being the base right??? When you create your box, you will choose a freq.. some like 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and most.. don't like 40. It's all preference. I am trying to learn the whole low pass ect but your SSF Subsonic filter is basicly to stop the freq from being sent.. so let's say your box is tuned to 33 hertz, you have your subsonic at 28, the amplifier won't send a signal under 28 hertz to protect your subwoofer. i saw this just before i got off. the filters are called filters for a reason. they dont just cut off all notes at the frequency you set to. they cut of db per octive. so it is a gradual slope cutoff. LPF is the cutoff on the high end. subsonic filter is cutoff on the lowend. they filter out frequencys above or below them. thats why it will be different in every system cause the amp filters will be different maybe, or loading in vechicle wil be different. thats why you must play with it and find settings you like best while keepign woofer safe. so LPF cuts off bass notes above frequency you set to. and subsonic filter cuts of frequencies below what is set to. but it does not cut off all frequencies to 0 it just makes the notes have less amplitude. the further they get away from the setting you have. thank you so very much for clearing that up... now i can go to work tomorrow and know what i'm doing to my car and a customers car when i'm tuning it. your awesome!!!

Bump4life Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) one more thing. don't use bass boost ever. it will scree up your flat frequency response and most likely cause you to clip. just dont do it. no bass boost ever. turn that down to 0 turn it off. edit: ninjad Edited April 10, 2012 by Bump4life Quote Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

ANTMANTHAKID305 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Lol, your probably hearing clipping rather than bottoming out really??? after a while it all sounds the same i guess... like the white girl beat hit hard but it's only 2 different notes playing like 1 is a i wanna say maybe 50-70hz note and the other must be 20-40hz at most. and on the lower beat it makes my phone on the roof do flips but when i'm in the car you hear air and feel it a little. my goal is to have my seats feel like there kicking me in the back, and look over to the passenger seat and it look like a rocking chair. what is the best frequency for that???
