Noobtastic14 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 So i'm in a tight place. i just picked up a Lvl 4 18" from rusty and absolutely love the woofer- BUT its falling on its face when it gets to the lows!! the MX felt like it could dive forever, so i'm wondering what it could be causing such a change in tone when only the woofer changed. The only difference i can think of with my noobish mind is the Fs on the DC is 28.x hz and the Fs on the RE is 18.xhz but i thought the enclosure played more of a roll than the woofer. Amps SS is all the way down, power is a bxi1606 @1ohm box is 7cuft @33hz with two 6" round ports ~16" long that is all from memory so i might be off by an inch or so on the port length or a decimal somewhere. what should i check before dropping the MX back in? -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

loganberry Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 somethin dosnt sound right cause my 15's plays the lows all day long and sound great doing so....the lows arnt super loud, but they play them hard (by lows im reffering to lowest portion of put on) Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk
Noobtastic14 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Posted October 13, 2008 i played that on my way to school this morning and it sounded good- so i mean lower than that. it just reaches a point where the initial hit of the downbeat is hard, but when the cone is holding the note it just isnt loud, almost like cancellation from some unknown 2nd woofer! -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

korey_hofer Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 the mx and xxx are low end monsters so that has alot to do with it Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme. I talk shit on other forums like a little bitch and hope i don't get caught out on the street.
Noobtastic14 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Posted October 13, 2008 i hope it is that simple, because i've got it worked to keep the DC within my close circle of friends and still get enough cash for the recone on the MX. either way i'm keeping the DC in for the comp on the 18th in woodland so i can see what its putting up. Looks like next season it will be the MX in action and i'll have plenty of meter time. -Drew Oh, and i'm getting on the Oscope hopefully by end of this week so no more clipping in my future.

David Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 re-set all gains correctly, bring the subsonic up to 29ish herts your gonna smoke the damn woofer with no subsonic filter and playing below tuning. Quote
Noobtastic14 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Posted October 13, 2008 will do- settings have been conservative till i can track down a new DMM since mine broke, don't plan on smoking a second 18 -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

bass lover Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 who cares if you can't play below 27 hz. hardly any songs go below that. Quote
E a r t h Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 who cares if you can't play below 27 hz. hardly any songs go below that. Depends on the genre of music being played. I have lots of material extending well bellow that Quote
aznboi3644 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 playing below tuning with out a subsonic does not necessarily mean a blown woofer. shit i run a single 15 in 4.3 cubes tuned to 40hz with 112.5 sq in of port with no subsonic...zero problems whatsoever even after a few years...800 watt rms amp also.
