where is my high bass :|?

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

i accually listened too some songs that really banged hard today, n they sounded greatt.
now heres my one problem i got wit these subs, which makes me want to sell it.

i listen to alot of techhouse and i really cant get that peircing feeling when the bass hits.

by adding the midbass should i get the hard hitting pericing bass for electronic???

but for the low end bass on rap song, amazing i had my car rumbling, i really dont want to sell them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

edit: not to mention the drum n bass, i wass suprised it wasnt hitting hard for the jungle

look into a type-r, or a l7 12

there really isn't much talk of that 'piercing' bass on these forums, mostly because people equate high tuning with low sq, and also because that's the bass you automatically end up with if you buy prefabbed boxes/ take advice from bb....

if that's what you WANT, tho, someone will help you out.. high tune, smallish box, 12" will best suit your needs, my ears just can't handle that higher bass for any length of time, so i decided to go lower from now on...

but you can get loud in higher freq's with less power, cheaper subs, and smaller boxes, so switching your setup wont hurt your wallet too bad.

and, that's what most people who aren't 'into car audio' equate with loud bass, so that's another plus...

loudest setup in that freq. range i've ever had were two l5 12's in 2.0cf each tuned @ 38hz. it was INSANELY loud, as in indescribeable.... if i compiled all the systems i've ever owned, that would be the one i'd go back to if i were gonna compete, that would do way better numbers than my type-x's or my l7 15's for sure.. I couldn't see out of my rearview, and it hurt to swallow.... they were powered off of a lanzar opti2000d, and it was a prefabbed ebay box, just to demonstrate the lower cost of getting loud up high..

the outside of your car's gonna rattle like hell, tho, prepare

well this might be a stupid question but,

what if mixxed subs, like get another amp n hook up lets say the l5

soo that the l5s play higher bass, n the X plays the lower bass so i dont lose the deeptones

could that clash in quality??

i really dun want to give up my x i just want the house to hit harder

n the x sounds sweet when it does hit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

NEVER NEVER NEVER MIX YOUR SUBS!!!!!

like stated before BUY SOME MIDBASS/COMPONENTS

and we can help you pick out some good compenents/midbass. or if you wanted, we could do hook you up with an active 2way/3way frontstage to blend with your type x sub. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

i had type X's sealed.

50hz + they sucked.

do a pair of Koda 8's for midbass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

run your X from 50Hz down

when i got my x's and i heard them in kotecs tcab the midbass seemed rather decent.

well that was because Tcabs are made for 50+hz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

well not really.

But that box was prolyl tuned around 36ish - 38ish hz so that why the midbass was decent.
