[QUOTE="NSTALN, post: 8603175, member: 588169"] A quick word about subsonic filters...most folks ignore shaping their SSF for best use...I'll give you an example using your woofer, the JL 13w7. Below I have simulated 4 enclosures, all the same, all to JL specs, 2.4 cubes tuned to 35HZ. I applied 1500rms to each...the only difference is the SSF's I employed for each. The white trace is NO SSF The yellow trace is the JL recommended 30hz high-pass @24db The orange trace is also 30hz high-pass but @12db The red trace is the SSF I recommend for this box which is 20hz high-pass @12db [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/MLVY9ot.jpg[/IMG] You can see that with out a SSF the white trace exceeds xmax at 23hz...anything below that and you're hurting the sub. The yellow trace certainly keeps the excursion below xmax...but really cut's off the nuts of your sub. The orange trace is better but still leaves a lot of usable excursion on the table. The red trace shows the cone being able to use all it's excursion while still staying under the xmax limit to keep the sub safe. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/1hGfcbk.jpg[/IMG] Notice the HUGE difference in the low end you gain by properly setting the SSF...by way of comparison the JL recommended 30hz@24 will give you 88.4db at 20hz, while the 20hz@12 will give you 100db...that's almost 12db difference at 20hz! The fact that you can extract so much more usable low-end by having a variable vs fixed SS filter should make the Slash the clear choice between the two amps (if using a ported enclosure).
