first, i have a kicker l5 15" sub powered by a hifonics brutus bx500d mono block amplifier. its wired @ 1ohm so its getting the 500rms juice.
specs of sub:
S15L5
Outer Frame Diameter, in (cm) 15 5/8 (39.7)
Nominal Impedance [Zn], ohm [per coil] 2 or 4
Power Handling Watts, Peak (RMS) 1500 (750)
Sensitivity [sPLo], dB @ 1W, 1m 88.8
Effective Frequency Range, Hz 18-100
Mounting Depth, in (cm) 8 1/2 (21.6)
Resonance Frequency [fs], Hz 23.4
Equivalent Volume [Vas], ft3 (L) 7.93 (224.67)
Net Displacement, in3 (cc) 3757 (229.3)
Moving Mass [Mms], oz (g) 11.54 (327.2)
Magnet Weight, oz (kg) 114.64 (3.25)
here are the features off the mono amp:
subsonic: 15hz-35hz
bass eq: 0-18db
low pass filter: 35hz-250hz
phase: 0-180 level: 9v-0.2
my sub is in a vented sub enclosure (see attached pic for detail) but i do not know the specs of it. i just needed a box great for bass so i bought this one. the music i listen to are hip-hop/techno/trance/rap, if you were in my situation, how would you set your amp to sound its best and not harm the equipment? or explain how each of these amps features work and examples of each?
thanks all
