frequency response for a subwoofer
what is frequency response of a good sub suppose to be? I need one to go
with my mids & tweeters. (My amp has a built in crossover with high pass and low pass filers) I noticed that some go from 20Hz to 2KHz while others go from 20Hz to 400Hz. I know about the low cutoff but what about the high cutoff? also, frequency response vs output power. will a higher frequency response mean that the amp can be rated at a higher power? |

frequency response for a subwoofer
ANY sub will play to whatever practical crossover point you pick. I've
never seen (okay, there was one car) any cars with a crossover over 120Hz. It won't matter if it plays up to 400 or 4000Hz, you won't run it that high. The freq. response has NOTHING to do with the power handling. Paul Vina "Johan Wagener" wrote in message ... what is frequency response of a good sub suppose to be?

So if you run a sub with f response of 20Hz - 400Hz from a crossover with
cutoff at 400Hz it will produce the same amount of power than a sub with f response of 20Hz - 2KHz running off the same crossover (if the 2 subs can deliver the same amount of power) So the sub with lower frequency response is no better than the one with higher response? considering you already have a crossover. |

frequency response for a subwoofer
So if you run a sub with f response of 20Hz - 400Hz from a crossover with
cutoff at 400Hz Why would you want to run a sub that high in a car? It would sound like ass. it will produce the same amount of power than a sub with f response of 20Hz - 2KHz running off the same crossover (if the 2 subs can deliver the same amount of power) Why do you think the frequency response has ANYTHING to do with the power handling? Also, speakers receive power, they don't produce it. So the sub with lower frequency response is no better than the one with higher response? considering you already have a crossover. Yes. A sub that can play up to 4000Hz does not necessarily have good low end response which is what you need from a sub. Paul Vina |
