Frequency Response of a sub

[Rasheedhos]

is the frequency response on a subs start at 40 hz what would be a result if i tune the box to 35 hz?

less output more SQ, and the sub dont start at 40hz they go lower

It must be like a 4" sub. But if thats the case there wouldnt be much "SUB" to it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

.....right.......

just sounds like a REALISTIC rating for a SPL geared speaker to me

a lot of manufacturers who publish (18-xxx) are dreaming

is that the frequency response or an fs? either way its insane sounding.

frequency response means output drops 10dB, not that it can't play below it

it's most likely the frequency response of a driver that was designed to have a high frequency peak

So it would be more of a midbass driver then a actual subwoofer, yes.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd sure like to know where you draw the line between woofer and subwoofer???? Because there are subs out there that don't really sound like subs to me.

Well take for example a Kicker SSMB6 midbass driver, the freq response starts at 30hz, whereas a reg sub usally is closer to 20hz, as opposed to the 40 hz the original poster stated.

I mean I understand how it's supposed to work. I just don't think there is an industry standard and it can be misleading, imo.

If a driver is not designed to play notes below 40hz, I wouldnt call it a subwoofer. I mean if you wanted to listen to music below 40hz, what would you add to that system, a subsonicwoofer/infrasonicwoofer?

I agree.

i'll agree that a true substage is 20hz-55/60hz, but the majority of people adding a subwoofer to their system do it to bandaid a bad midrange, not add a true substage

i'll agree that you're correct, but most people don't know what a subwoofer's supposed to sound like.

And also, higher frequencies take better advantage of cabin gain, and register higher on microphones for competitions.

The new stroker pro 15" for example, is over 40mm xmax, 2500w rms power handling (not exactly slacking) and still has a frequency range starting at i think 36hz?
