Anthony10111 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 What's the difference between frequency range and frequency response? My frequency response is 25-250hz... My frequency range is 39-400hz... sooo where should my high and low pass be at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Are you talking about your sub amp or highs amp? 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I'm talking about about my subs... Those are the response / range levels of my subs... I'm trying to figure out how low they actually safely go.. and how high they can safely go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 All that changes once you put them into an enclosure. Usually, people tend to set their low pass filter to 80-90 hz and their high pass filter, or subsonic filter, to half an octave below the tuning of the enclosure 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.

Let's say I put a -3db test tone on... How low can they handle it? Cuz that seems to me where I would want to set my subsonic at.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 If the box tuning is 32, one whole octave is half that (16). Half of 16 is 8. 16+8=24. Slo I would set it at 24. And if everything is set correctly, a -3 db test tone at 24 hz.... no clipping.... you're subs will be fine. Though I don't think I'd recommend just blasting test tones at your subs.

Dafaseles Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 So those parameters are usually calculated with the speaker being free air. All those things change once the speaker is put into an enclosure. But usually a 6.5" or 8" can reproduce sound above 80hz better and more efficiently that a huge subwoofer can. That's why we usually set our low pass filter below 100hz, the vast majority of the time, 80-90 hz 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!
