DC Level 6 question about FS


Recommended Posts

Face to palm

How is lowering fs going to help u?

The lol 6 will have a low fs once broken in. It prolly has 6 spiders gonna take longer than a level 5 before u should even try to measure the fs of the 6

good point...wasn't sure how broken in it was when t/s were run. should have thought this through before posting lol.

it was an impulse question...Didn't know how much lower fs gets after breaking in as I've never measured t/s before and after.

as far as why, lowering fs allows more gain at lower tuning frequencies. Tuning lower than the sub's FS tends to drop average port gain. 36hz isn't bad, I'm not opposed to tuning it around that, but having a lower FS would allow me to play around with tuning lower without sacrificing as much output.

Thanks.

My sub's Fs is 49. I peak at 27hz.

What is your box tuned to?

Wasn't trying to be rude before.....

Also how a sub is broken in can change the specs from one sub to another

One that is burped at break in vs one that is gently massaged for a few weeks or months etc etc

In general the ya specs are close but look at it like amps they don't all clamp the exact same numbers but they are the "same" and have very similar numbers
