Subsonic Filter

[Mellow18]

QUESTION

is it safe to have my subsonic filter off?

im using mp3(ipod).i listen to rap oldies and R&B

i was told that if i listen to rap/oldies/r&b on an mp3 player then i should have my subsonic switch to on.

but!when i have it on my amp will go into protect if i turn it up to about 26 out of 35 volume on the alpine deck.

and the subs are pushing weak.so i try different settings and they all failed.

so i turn the subsonic filter off and the subs start to hit pretty good.

ok so this is just a temp set up so i can hear some bass while i wait for my dat-2500.1 which i will be buying today,

and also i have to wait till i can buy some dc subs to wall in my monte carlo.

MY AMP

ok my temp setup is an RF BD 1500.1,the old school one.

which is 2 ohm stable.

it has a phaze 0 and 160 switch or somthing liek that..

so it can only be at 0 or the other option.

it also has a subsonic on or off switch..not a knob.

MY SUBS

the amp is pushing 2 old school RF subs rated at 1000rms each.(pair of punch power dvc 12'')

the problem is they are dual 4 ohms which can only be 1 or 4 ohm loads.

and the amp is not 1 ohm stable so i cant get my full 1500+ rms.

so i have to settle for 4 ohm load which is prolly giving me 600-750rms im not sure.

yes it is safe to have it off. just make sure to not be sending a bad signal to the subs.
