Amp Trouble

[John858]

Everything is working with the deaf bonce amp, it is refurbished due to hitting metal and having to repair internals

I noticed that my subs arent playing anything under 35hz good.

Box is tuned to 34hz & amp is tuned correctly.

Noticed when i changed the deaf bonce to a skar audio amp it played lower, and better even though it had 700w less. Any suggestions on my amp? Should i get a new one ? Pay someone to check the internals and fix it? Any suggestions appreciated thank you

*amp is a deaf bonce 2900.1d (had it wired at 4ohm for 1000w rms)

I noticed it has Bass Boost on the amp. Boost the lowest frequency to see how it reacts. I have my amp boosting 30 Hz. at a tight Q with sealed subs and it makes a huge difference.

Nothing I can think of besides that. At what frequency is your subsonic filter set at?

i dont think theres a subsonic filter, its a full bridge amp with crossovers, bass boost, and gain

Crazy that such a big brand would not have that on one of their lines.

That amplifier already comes with an in-built low pass crossover. How low does the frequency get before no improvements to loudness? Subsonic filters are for midranges. Two way speakers. Skar amps already work and in-built cross overs, those act as subsonic filters. Lower watts. Choose skar

First, ignore Mitchell. His IQ is the same as his shoe size.
Second, the Deaf Bonce aad 2900.1d does have a subsonic filter. It is listed as the high in the crossover section. It is the knob all the way to the left by the rca cables. Turn it down for more lows.

Looking for a quote or something?

Bad advice should be called out

it probably doesnt even go lower than 35.

i play songs that are probably around the 30-35 range and the bass roll off is insane. It has that first punch and then it just goes away. But when its between 35-60 it plays good and the bass is continuous. Doesnt roll off or disappear like 30-35.

Like i said went with another amp and it somehow played those lows no issue. Just curious if i can tune it better or if its just fucked up

Anyone else agree this guy just needs to disappear? He won’t stop giving false advice and members still don’t notice his signature, title, or banner, warning them about his terrible, uninformed posts. Don’t know how I can be more blunt and informative about it.

Yes. I think I would just go ahead and ban him. Everyone is wrong sometimes, but he is wrong every time. I think he’s doing it on purpose at this point.
