[QUOTE="The Camry, post: 8602124, member: 657974"] I met a guy at an spl event a few months back and he was a novice. He had 2 Soundqubed subs in a prefab box far too small for them on around 2k in a trunk car. I believe he did something like a 142. I was looking at his set up and talking to him about finding cabin tuning and such. So i ran some Freq sweeps and found that the box was tuned to 55hz...which is just meh at best. He asked me if he could do anything to make his set up louder, so i took a look at his amp and he had his SSF crazy high. So i had him play the loudest song he had and lowered it all the way to the bottom. No x-max, no Vc slapping or anything and i left it. Later the guy came to me and said that it seemed like his system was much quieter now. To my knowledge, lowering a SSF shouldn't make your system quieter. He of course, could have been hearing low frequencies for the first time and thought it sounded much different, which im sure it did. My question is, can allowing your subs to play down low, limit their spl up high in some form? [/QUOTE]
