[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8800045, member: 591582"] I’ve heard a difference between amps with higher/lower dampening factor play low notes differently (in the high 20’s tuned at 34 hz). I’ve directly tested that in my own vehicle, with all variables the same, at 1 ohm. The amp with the ~250 damping factor played 2-3 hz lower than the amp that had about 100 damping factor. There’s soooo many factors to this, to know if you need a higher damping factor or could benefit from it. I needed it running .7 ohms per amp and playing 25 hz while tuned to 29 hz, for example. He’s now tuned at 30 hz he said, so he may not need a high damping factor, due to the tuning being fairly low, and most music not playing below there, so the box keeps control of the woofer plenty. Damping factor should matter less the higher up in frequency, due to the simple shortening in the waveform period (typically less xmax needed to reproduce). [/QUOTE]
