Subs question

make a post to see if there are any senior members that live near you.... throw them some gas money and have them look at it and diagnose the issue... then you can fix what is actually wrong!

I just noticed that, If you are wondering if mixing 10 with 18's is a good idea generally speaking it isn't. It can produce cancellation with the sound waves.
Did any body mess with your amp? Adjust your subsonic filter or anything like that?

My box is tuned real high so I have my subsonic filter turned up so I don't hit the lows all that well.

Oh I just forgot about that, I believe I may of messed with my amp, what settings should I have it on? What do you mean by your box is tuned real high?

He means his box is tuned higher than average.

My box is tuned to 60 hertz. The reason is I compete in spl competitions and higher frequencies are usually louder on the decibel meter. I have my subsonic filter turned up higher than most because subs don't like to play below the box tuning as there is no back pressure and can let the subs over excure. Or "Bottom out".

The subsonic filter doesn't let an amp produce freqiency's below what you have it set for. Or I should say limits it greatly.

Oh I see, so what should I set my amp too? Or should I just mess around till I get it to hit the notes my 10s where hitting?

What notes do you seem to be missing? The lows?

Edit: I wish I could steer you on setting up your amp but I am shaky at that myself. I just use a meter and turn knobs till the meter stops rising then back it off a little. But you aren't looking for the same results as I am I don't think.

Someone else on here could help you with that I am sure though.

The ones I notice the most in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wTaQ6SjFQ0&feature=PlayList&p=4D5F9634888C31AC&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=11 it doesn't seem to hit some of those notes, I can't really describe the ones it misses.

Well I got that question answered, does sub placement matter for quality?
