why does this piece of paper move so much?

I don't claim to know everything or a lot about anything. This is especially true when it comes to audio. However, telling someone who has built countless home speakers that it is a good idea to tune your mains to 40hz is just ridiculous. Not even that, but the complete disregard for every counterpoint that I've made is even more appalling. I never once even implied to tune your home sub to 40hz; I honestly cannot see how you would even begin to think that in the least. Furthermore, you call me a child when you have clearly never done this before, and your lack of reading comprehension is even more startling. I'm not trying to get into a fight with you, but seriously, you have yet to tell me anything wrong with what I've said, and instead make up completely unrelated points. Somehow we went from me asking you why you tuned your mains to 40hz, to you trying to embarrass me by saying that I PERSONALLY said to tune your home subwoofer to 40hz? There is no correlation there whatever man. I have not said anything confusing at all, I've simply answered your questions which have slowly deviated from my original point, which rupurfor also noted. So, all that I have to say from this post out is this: plot the system and look at the response curve, create a crossover circuit, build and review them, and then post back with your results.

 
People tune subwoofer enclosures in the 40hz area because it's next to impossible for main speakers to pick up those notes, but a subwoofer can easily cover them. If this still eludes you, then I'll just stop arguing and go on my way.
idiot...

edit: so, now what are you going to have claimed to have said that the subwoofer should be tuned to?

LOL!!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif you haven't MADE any points to put up an arguement against, you've simply suggested that I should tune the subwoofer to 40Hz (as I have just quoted) and told me that tuning my fronts to 40Hz is bad, because fronts shouldn't play 40Hz...

now, why exactly was it that fronts shouldnt play 40Hz? lol, and what the hell did that have to do with cabin gain in a car? lol

answer me, in one sentence, your reasoning behind suggesting not to tune the front to 40Hz.... And it better actually make sense!!! lol

 
******* you're retarded. That is for an organ, NOT a definition for the sound spectrum. Sub = below, thus subbass means below bass level. A woofer reproduces bass notes, while a SUBwoofer, makes notes below that of a woofer. People tune subwoofer enclosures in the 40hz area because it's next to impossible for main speakers to pick up those notes, but a subwoofer can easily cover them. If this still eludes you, then I'll just stop arguing and go on my way.
heres' the whole quote for your idiot self...

if its not implying that the sub should be tuned to 40Hz, then I dont know what it is! lol

you are a moron, plain and simple, you're just a kid, who likes to draw up pretty diagrams of CAR AUDIO SUBWOOFER BOXES, and thats about it. like I said, grow up, then get back to me.

Good god man, you still amaze me. What I'm stating is called a CONCEPT. Why do you tune a subwoofer box higher? To get more output in that frequency range. Note that I NEVER said anything like you SHOULD or it's BETTER to tune higher as that is simply retarded. I have two subs sitting next to me, one is tuned to 25hz, the other tuned to 32hz. My home theater subwoofer is tuned to 18.5hz. I would never have said to tune a home subwoofer box to 40hz, nor did I ever. Okay, let's solve this definitively. Post your design/build information and pictures over at diyaudio.com, since you obviously don't understand what I'm telling you. Ask them what you can expect from it, and post the link.
 
PV Audio.

my friend and I have decided, that you're either trying to be funny (and doing a very bad job of it) or, mentally retarded, I let you choose which one it is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thankyou, and goodbye.

 
Post it over at DIY, and we'll see just how mentally retarded I am. It's a free chance to make me look even more of an idiot, so what do you have to lose?

the design is not what makes you the idiot here...

its the fact, that you're straight out telling me that its WRONG to tune my front speakers to 40Hz, because, they apparently aren't meant to play 40Hz, and yet, you have nothing to back that up? lol

Post it at DIY. Perhaps those more versed in audio will be able to convince you why it's worthless to tune a main speaker to 40hz or less, especially with no crossover or seperate chambers.
 
Probably the most useful bit of information in this thread. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

seperate chambers for what? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif lol.

and, I am going to make some crossovers, just to keep you happy... lol

there is NO reason not to tune your fronts to 40Hz, unless you wanna keep wankers like yourself happy.

Okay bud, I already said I'm not going to bother explaining anything anymore. Post the info at diyaudio.com, you have no reason not to. Just post it up there, ask what they think about it, and post the link here. Should take about 25 seconds.
