Re: Increasing Q with a 4 Ohm Resistor.


I have 4 Av18 in an IB. The only movie that gets the woofers moving dangerously is Blackhawk Down, Irene scene. Even then I pushed it hard and when they were using 2" of travel and I was reading about 118db and the amp wasn't clipping at all. If I use my highpass filter that would probably allow much higher SPL for this scene with the 8hz component rolled off. Basically any other movie with 14hz+ stuff I can do 125db with the cones using barely an inch. The last time I ran Pulse it read 126db at the opposite end of the room and the drivers were moving an inch.
