i have a problem. the back of my box blew out because of the mad dBz and the violent bass air.

it seems to sound fine. Should I seal it back up?

to my understanding, you don't know shit.

i am now wondering if the compressed files i listen to are the reason for low bass response. I have never bought a real rap cd with decent lows in it, so i am wondering if it could be the fact that the compressed files aren't allowing the subs to respond the way they normally would? What do you think about this?

yes i am, i think if i get type x's they will perform better sealed. But i don't know, i don't want to buy some re sx's or something like that since they aren't recommended to be sealed. But i want better output.

i guess you have experience between the two, how much shittier do mp3 files sound when comparing them to actual rap cd's? is the bass response alot better in the cd from your experience? Like i said, i don't buy actual rap cd's. Maybe i should right?

Only problem with me is I can't stand listening to shіtty rap music long enough to tell the difference between an MP3 and a CD.

FYI, you do realize that there is other music designed to hit ultra low notes besides RAP, right? Also, today's commercial RAP is shorthand for CRAP!

yeah, i know. i barely listen to rap as well, but when i do i throw in some three 6 mafia and want that shit pretty loud. I have know idea the difference between a compressed file and real cd track when it comes to rap. Metal/rock is a different story.

you can use a dmm on that too. hook it up to the rca and see how many volts its putting out.

what voltage are they supposed to be seeing?

i just tried to measure the preout voltage and it wouldn't work for some reason.

maybe theres nuthin wrong, maybe your expecting more than what you got.

i had two db500s in a sealed box with some kind of hifonics 1500 amp and it sucked until i got my rsd1200 the difference was night and day. then i went ported and never looked back.

i say ditch the hifonics amp for sumthin better

Let's take a band like Tool. I can tell the difference between Apple Lossless encoded files and 320 Kb/sec encoded MP3s with most of their material. Now, telling the difference between Apple Lossless and the actual CD content is pretty tough. I can't pick it out, but I have some friends with elaborate HT systems that claim they can tell the difference, even though they are using the IPOD digital dock to interface with their HT systems.

i don't know, the video speaks for itself. I don't know what to do, if i should turn the box around or what.

What's violent bass air. LOl. I have my theories but I want a answer. James you should know!

And OP.

Have you done what has been recommended?

We went through a lis of things last night.

and today several more suggestions were made.

1. Did you unplug one sub to see if the other became "louder" thus reconciling the cancellation possibility?

2. Did you check the load your amp is seeing? Making sure the subs are wired right?

3. Did you try a different CD? or even the radio?

4. Did you turn your box around. I think you should.

the guys on ROE have been saying it is possible that the manufactures could have made the voice coils out of phase. This is something i am going to check right now using the 9 volt battery.

i never knew that manufactures would have the coils out of phase. have you guys ever heard of this?

Quite listening to that garbage and follow our suggestions.
