That thing has NO low end extension whatsoever! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

You would think that anybody that has heard of Ascendant Audio and the Atlas would atleast know how to set a crossover. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

1) How is the lowpass crossover setting going to affect low frequency extension?

2) The box is ported. If he's playing tones at or near the tuning frequency, the sub ain't going to have much excursion.

Well I have no way to know that the crossover is in fact the problem but it certainly seems like there is something wrong here.

FYI: the lowpass is going to have zero to do with the LFE.....I don't know how you even came to the conclusion that one would affect the other.

lol not only that but a video cam mic isnt exactly the best way to get to hear any bass.i didnt see it move alot either but that can be for alot of reasons, but mainly box tuning.

This is what I would expect out of an Atlas -

Something doesn't seem right in that vid, never seen a vid with LNT play like that before.

2) The box is ported. If he's playing tones at or near the tuning frequency, the sub ain't going to have much excursion.

But wouldn't the output at that freq. at least register on the camera's mic?

LOL...I didn't listen to the sound (I'm at work //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif ), but regardless....it depends on the mic/camera, how they ripped it onto their PC, etc etc. Too many variables.

depends the mic was away from the inside of the trunk and that kind of mic i really doubt does much justice if any to that type of recording. im suprised nobody uses the cannon shots in the 1812 overature for those vids probably the loudest down low (18 hz) i can think of and there are alot of those lol drowns out a whole orchastra for a second or 2

does it say what hes powering it with? I mean what kind of cam wouldnt at least show some excursion. Maybe he has the amp on hpf. Cuz from what I saw I was hearing more vocals than the bass, could have been the rear fill but usually the bass is supposed to drown the vocals.

This thread is unbelieveable. It was filmed with a freaking digital camera. They aren't made to capture sub 100hz sounds really at all, it just isn't practicle. Hell most dedicated video cameras wouldn't be able to pick anything like that up. Obviously it is going ot pick up more vocals because that is what it is designed for. But usually bass is supposed to drown the vocals???? This is depressing.
