[QUOTE="wackaflocka, post: 7519802, member: 635459"] I have a Rockford T2 in a 3.7 cu ft ported box that I believe is tuned around 35-37Hz. It hits some major lows which I love, but the top end of the bass response has a very steep cut-off. So anything with a bass line that goes above a certain frequency gets really quiet really fast. The effect is that you don't even hear the top end of most bass lines. I don't know exactly what frequency this cutoff starts, but I do know it isn't because of my crossovers. I have a Rockford 1000.1bd on the sub and since my head unit has a built in variable crossover I just have it turned all the way up on the amp. Changing the crossover anywhere from 50 to 125 hz doesn't seem to change it much at all. My friend has a 15" Fi BL in a similar ported box, and it hits some head buzzing mids that make me so jealous! The SQ really suffers when parts of the bass are loud and deep while others are nonexistent. How can he have a bigger sub in a box that's only 5-7hz higher tuned than mine, yet his bass is 1000x more even across the frequency range? How can I fix this? Would a different box be the answer? Or is a crossover somewhere faulty? I can't imagine a sub as expensive as a T2 can only be loud in a narrow, low band! I've had Rockford P1's and Kicker CVR's that had a lot better midbass. For example if anyone knows I'm Sprung by T-Pain, there are 3 notes in the bassline. The lowest one is loud as hell, while the highest one is almost inaudible. And they're not that far apart in frequency. [/QUOTE]
