[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8238523, member: 560148"] Bottom on the freq spec? You mean like the FS of the woofer, no you don't have to.. The tuning freqency of your box will determine what bass needs to be cut out. Do you have a HPF on your amp or SSF, it should be labeled as one of those two things.. If you do, set it to about 30hz and you should be good, I doubt your box is tuned so high that it wouldn't be safe to do that. If you want to know your approx box tuning, get a bunch of tones between 60hz and 25hz. Make sure they are recorded at the same volume. Run them at a moderate volume level and look at your speaker cone when it's moving. You'll notice as you go down from 60hz excursion will increase.. At some point however, it will begin to decrease.. At some point as you drop even lower , the excursion will quickly begin to increase again. That minimum excurison point between those two is your tuning frequency. So play say a 60hz tone for your baseline, then 50hz next, it moves more than 60hz, then 40hz, it moved more than 50hz, then 35 and it moved LESS than the 40hz did.. if that happens you'd play 30hz and if it moves more than 35hz, your now below tuning, so 35hz is approx your tuning, you can keep narrowing it down if you can find other tones in between those values, but it's not needed. Anyway set a SSF about 1/3 of an octave below tuning.. 30hz filter is pretty safe for most tunings, even if your tuned real high at 40hz, 30hz should protect the driver decently if you don't go crazy on the power. If it's a better tuning like 35, 30 is perfect and if it's tuned real low, at say 30hz, you won't be giving up that much... [/QUOTE]
