Hz

[jackt360]

just got a new amp to power my subs and was wondering what i should have the hz set at? thanks

[jacko103]

I'm guess that's a Low Pass Filter setting?

80Hz is a good starting point for most. What Subs do you have and what enclosure are they in?

i find about 60Hz was best for my gear. Dan white (iirc) on here had his alpine bugger up cause it was playing too high.

[jackt360]

yes thats on low pass filter and i have two 15" fusion subs

[Martin]

personaly prefernce tbh. too high and you damage the sub, too low and your missing out notes..

[jacko103]

How was the sub damaged by frequencies that are too high (unless they were like 250Hz+).
I have heard of subsonics and below tuning frequencies damaging subs, but never high frequencies.

53Hz is natural for the car

45Hz if you want it to drop pretty low but still keep up

60-80Hz if u want bigger numbers ???

Personally anything between 45 and 60Hz u'll be fine buddy

wooop im famous! spelt my name wrong though god damnit!

was a combo of things that killed one of the voice coils on it, mainly caused by having the lowpass too high, it was clipping but at frequenceis that it didnt realy play too loud so it was drowned out over the lower freqencies. result = one crispy voice coil!

im running it from 20 - 108Hz now and everything been fine.

I get it, fair enough.
Do you mean your LPF set at 108Hz? What slope is it on?
