SundownZ71 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 All pro and no cons unless you like destroying subs.Not using it would destroy subs? LolDo you even know what it does?Eliminates low frequencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SundownZ71 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Doesnt use a subsonic filter and makes multiple threads about subwoofers getting stinky when they play low. #winning Ok back out to the garage to get more work done. yay I use a subsonic filter, plus those threads were when I knew very little. I only asked because somewhere I read a subsonic filter puts a damper on the low end (which is does eliminate low low freq.) and I play a lot of low songs. So I figured if I didn't use it I could gain a little on the low end when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfalcon Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 You would gain on the low end but it has a price. Stressing/tearing suspension. Still learning but have started gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Never ran a high pass in the turd. playing low 20's and 30's was the fun part. Knowing your build/gear/limits is most effective IMHO. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rechichi Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 You use the subsonic filter to lower the volumes at the lower frequencies for example if you set it to 30hz then 29hz will be -1db then 28hz will be -2db then 27hz will be -3 db and so on, Something like that is my understanding of it. You adjust it to suit your setup, I personally don't use it at all because of my box/port type. My Youtube The Pajero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 How much it attenuates depends on the slope. It's a nice safety feature if you aren't familiar with the limits of your setup or are just lazy like me and don't want to have to think about it. My box builder told me what to set mine too and since he's smarter than me I listened. Now, I could just figure out what songs I can't play and just simply not play those but I'd rather just be able to play whatever.

Be able to play anything is the best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSkippyJ Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I know my system's limits mostly, it's the music I am less familiar with. I can pretty much play down to 27 without worrying at all, be low that I have to be really paying attention. So I just set the subsonic to 27 (which is just as Kyle said a high pass filter) and stop thinking about it.

Box is tuned to 28, subsonic is at 18 hz because that is where it sounded best.. which was set with a cc1. Haven't had any kind of problem with the subs (knock on wood) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
