Question on lows..

[THXdts 10+ year member]

This may seem like a dumb question, but now sure. If I play a song such as soul survivior, I can hear the low notes, but they are not that loud. Not If I play another song at the same volume but with I beleive a higher note, it sounds much louder. Why is this?

because you need a speaker that can play lows louder.

Tune your box lower? Soul Survivor is loud and is definiatley low. Now umm Dangerous Posse chopped & screwed isn't that loud but extremely low lol.

I'm just wondering why it's not as loud, when its lower?

Tune your box to 24hz it should be loud enough then lol.

Thats how speakers work. They aren't able to reproduce every single frequency at the same DB level. All speakers have a limit, though they can be exploited with different boxes and setups.

Turns out that on the file the volume is low.
