thylantyr, (or others)

I've seen many of your posts over the years.

I've just completed my second SoundSplinter dual RLP-15/4 passive radiator subwoofer and my tuning frequency comes out to 23 hz but I'm enjoying extremely rich bass, especially corner loaded and I have a substantial room gain.

I've just found and gone through this thread about the Arts Clean Box and just happen to have one coming in from Parts Express tomorrow. I'm surprised to just find out that this box may be killing the low end. Is it really hurting the low end? I'm running a top of the line Rotel receiver/amp and am powering each subwoofer with a QSC 1450 bridged to mono. I've soldered terminals to the RCA outs from the Rotel and am hooked up to the terminal strips on the amps. The subs are wired to present an 8 ohm load to the amp and they sound so good right now and I thought the Arts Clean Box would be a benefit.

Should I change out the two (green) caps noted in the forum? I'm seeing mixed results from the different posters. I have my Rotel crossed at 60 hz to the subwoofer.

What is your suggestion so I don't loose any more low end. My tuning is high so I can't afford to lose the low end. I've built my own crossovers for my mains and center speaker, so to modify the Arts box should be easy for me. Which caps would suit my needs the best, or do I use the Clean Box as a paperweight? I'll be using both channels as I'm running dual amps.

Thanks,
Mike
