SOFT BASS? Part II

My phoenix gold 12s ask for 1.6ft^3 for the SQ minded so you may want to try bigger if the polyfill doesn't help enough.

All an Epicenter will do for you is add more bass down low, pretty much the opposite of what you are looking for. you can actually stuff your box pretty full with poly fill, mine is about 2/3-3/4 full and sounds quite smooth. If you end up deciding on a new sub, seriously consider the Dls Mw10, they are extremely smooth, and not real punchy in a sealed box.

an EpiCenter doesn't add, or boost bass. It simply recreates it.

Exactly the opposite.

Making the enclosure larger will lower Qtc and generally give you a flatter frequency response, better transient response and group delay, and lower overall output - exactly the kind of things you're looking for.

I would recommend an IB install in your case //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If it recreates bass, isn't that much the same as adding it? I say yes, and I also believe it is not what he wants from what I have read. FYI I have one, and know exactly what it does. Soft bass, is not what it does.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif I own one too. Along with a pair of EQTs and a 3XS. It uses a full range signal, processes it, recreates the lows where it thinks bass should be.
