| SVS Sub-Sonic filter setting question Finally had an afternoon to play so thought i'd post some results on here.
When you have a look at the attached file, this will all make sense. The 12.3 driver had definantly loosened up a bit after running in, and this managed to help me make a few cuts in the BFD from my previous settings.
I plotted the 20Hz tune, and got the best line that i could get. My room plays games >80Hz but i think this will soon be sorted with new fronts.
I then played with the 16Hz tune, and as expected the overall SPL was lower but there was a massive increase from 22Hz down to 16Hz. This setting only needed 2 filters to be used though.
I then thought i'd be a bit silly just to see what would happen. I removed the port bung BUT LEFT the Sub-Sonic filter set to 16Hz. The results are now the best i've ever had, and appear to be rulker flat from 16Hz to 56Hz.
QUESTION ????
Will leaving the ports open but the filter set to 16Hz Shag my sub ????
Obviously the manufacturers recommend that the port tuning and filter are set the same, but i'm sure i've seen users not matching the port and filter tuning before. Surely those few extra Hz leaking though can't hurt THAT MUCH
Thanks for any help in advance. Off to watch Nemo now, so will post back if my sub ends up in a puff of smoke
