SlamminBeats Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 SO if im expecting to play low as in, 30 hz, is an FS of 43 on a 12 mean i will be disappointed?
will77530 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 fs is the resonant frequency of the sub the way it was explained to me is the lower the fs the better it will handle lower frequencies
Joe X Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 You have to look at the whole model, box, car, sub and then how it all reflects in your expectations. BTW fs is the resonant frequency of the sub outside of a box.
TeamHT Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 Too many people pay too much attention to FS, not realizing theyre looking at a spec free air. Calculate and find f3 Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
bkolfo4 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 It is the free air resonant frequency of the cone. TeamHT - You are correct, but Fs plays a big part in the system F3. If you tune too far below Fs, you can end up with a dip in the response between Fs and the tuning frequency.

bkolfo4 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 Just trying to help. I could have gone a lot deeper into the subject - I actually did, but then erased it Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.
TeamHT Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 Understood Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
Joe X Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 In car F3 is very different (lower) than the F3 that standard formulas predict due to cabin gain which in turn change from car to car.
