djphatbone Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thats not true at all 1) subsonic filter 2) dont play 20hz test tones 3) dont play with the bass after installed and tuned correctly and the subs wont break, if ANYTHINg they will blow, big difference there Ive tuned many boxes pretty high, even done a 60hz 6cf box for 1-12" huge port area, played it daily, gave it to a friend, he played it daily, same sub for another 6 months or so, and it sounded good with all music, ofcourse lows are not as solid as if it was tuned to 30-40hz, and I know I never used a subsonic filter on it, and dont think my buddy did either but Iam sure if we had some series power to that sub and box, then yeah, would be issues with the sub getting to much excursion true true, tuning 40-45hz is where the impact is. tested all fi subwoofer in 40-45hz. dang still loud enough.

From my experience with the Qs, they love LOW tuning!! I wouldn't go higher than 32hz myself with those subs!

I would take what he says as correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 whos Nick? I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricR Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 ndmstang = nick i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?
