Just inherited a Pioneer DEH-3900mp head unit. I also have a small sub setup (just to have a little bump for the dailty commute, nothing fancy). The head unit has Subwoofer output options that increase in increments of 1 ranging from -24 all the way to +6. I always keep the level around -3...

It matters quite a bit. Unfortunately there is no static answer (one direction suits all). You'll have to play with the firing direction in whichever car.

You'd be hard pressed to conclude anything from those alone. Way too many variables. From the application (which type of box or installation) all the way to what vehicle they're being put in.

Small alt, big burden. Stereo + Car Electronics + Charging

Don't forget sampling rate. a 320 kbit file will sound like shit if it's sampling rate is something like 22hz, rather than 44hz or 48hz

Most definitely. Thanks for the help sir.

My buddy's being given an L5 and a box tuned to 34hz. The amp is a small little A/B 150watt Kenwood. Nothing fancy at all. Was running some graphs on it and with 150 watts, it barely got 15mm of excursion at 10hz.

Is a sub sonic filter necessary if the subwoofer in use will never see eneough power to reach maximum excursion (even below the tuning frequency of the box)?

I Like Pioneer decks but the new multi-control interface is wayyyyy too busy for my taste. I Liked the 4 direction buttons better.

I heard the 9887 has problems shuffling songs from a usb drive, true? false?

aren't the d3 dual 2ohms? and rated for 400wrms? just rock the d3 man!

what subs do you have? if the power handling permits, i'd just use the 2ohm sub by itself and let it get a full 500wrms
