Okay, so I actually got some of my old stereo stuff back, (1500 watt phoenix gold, 15" kicker L7 w/SPL cabinet...) anyways, some of the settings were messed with..
Now I can't remember what I had for subsonic filtering, exactly what does it do, and whats usually the best place to put it?
I mean, theoretically this setup should be louder than my two type-r's, but it isn't so I don't know whats happening.. (My two type-r's wern't even broken in or anything yet, brand new.) |

| subsonic filter: a high-pass filter which attenuates the very lowest frequencies from 1 to about 30 Hz so that your amp can have more power available to make the sound that you can actually hear... it's probably a lot easier on your subs if they are throwing out to max on the low beats, and you can't hardly tell that it's happening. |

so generally, where's the best place to have it set?
also, what would be the best setting for a kicker solo 15" L7 for the LPF? |

| Well, in case anyone is wondering I ended up finding out what subsonic filtering actually does.. it makes sure your sub does not go past it's x-max and fuck it up.. it blocks out tones that will make your sub basically blow up.. or thats what I got from it anyways.. |

Yup. There are a few ways to do it one is buy a inline device that only allows those signals thru. Inline meaning between the speaker and amp on the positive speaker wire.. I only use this kind of filter for my tweeters I didnt know they had them for subs cool got a link? |

what type of box do you have?? is it sealed or ported??? in general you should have it set at 15-20hz what it will do is cut out the tones that are 15-20 hz or lower.

| Thanks for the reply, it's a vented box.. It's the 6 Cu. Ft one from the Kicker technical manual, and it actually says in the manual what to set the subsonic filter at, which is 25hz. |
