[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8916050, member: 673702"] Epicenters were originally to restore sub bass that was removed from recordings in the vinyl days. On vinyl, they had to remove/reduce sub bass to prevent the needle from jumping out of the groove. I don't think it serves much purpose today when we have gobs of power and digital recordings and cabin gain. Plus as shredder mentioned, you don't want to unload your sub and destroy it with frequencies below port tuning. Even sealed subs are at risk if you're going to hit them with boosted ultra low frequencies. If you're looking for "slam" ~35-50hz is the sweet spot. [/QUOTE]
