Re: Tang Band Dual 8 : Push Push Design


No 8 inch sub should be trying to reproduce 15hz. That's what a sub sonic filter is for. The number one consideration in a proper sub design is the limitations of the driver. A subsonic filters job is to block the frequencies that a driver is not capable of handling. There's nothing wrong with tuning a sub to lower than the Fs. The problem is when you play frequencies lower then the tuning frequency. That's when a driver will "unload" and damage can occur. Raw Acoustics built home subs with this driver. 14 inch external cube tuned with two 2 inch by 16 inch long ports, if memory serves me right. It could handle 150 watts with no problem.
