ALPINE408 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 bottoming out has a very distinct sound.. not flappin its the bottom of the VC former hittting the bottom plate of the motor and sounds like a loud metal on metal tapping flapping sounds usally come from exceeding the mechanical limits of the sub long story short you ether have A. to much power B. your settings are fucked or C. all of the above Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

ChevyBoy95 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) playing too low, might be unloading on making some mechanical noise from loss of cone control. And if it is the last note of put on in decafs, it is ~24hz. could be a combination of many things like port area, tuning, filters on the amp, etc. (i think it is mainly port though). i can play 24 full tilt all day long but my port is like 11 per cube. (i have xl's as well). and i think i have heard what you are hearing but i get it in the 15-20hz range. edit: for those who dont know, F3 is not the box tuning. and bottoming out is FUCKING LOUD so you would know.

cmegorm250 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Could it be mechanical noise from the sub? If he's playing lower than what we can hear. Cause you kinda get that flap noise when you free air a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
