Strengths and weaknesses of Kicker Sub

[smartgen2]

I owned a kicker comp C12 sub and the sound was not bad. I had a custom made sealed box on it too. The weakness is it can't really go down below 30hz that well.

Any idea how to make great sound from this sub? I prefer to listen to bass from drum and a little bit from guitar bass. Any idea how to set the LPF?

Thankss

can try a larger box, would make it go down a bit more...kicker subs tend to like very large enclosures....they really suck in small ones.

LP set around 60, depending on how low your mids can go, as well as the blending bwtween mids & subs..

Thanks Zenn for the idea. My enclosure a bit small as i didn't have much space in my car boot.

What is the level of sub sonic filter that i should set then?

for safety set as low the sub can play.. let say ur sub freq respond as 25hz to 400hz in manual.. so U can set sub sonic filter at >20hz laa

If you expect the sub to perfrom in low end freq. why go for small ported enclosure??? Why dont you port them to 30 hz??

And btw it has nothing to do with subsonic filter. You can set 25hz or 20hz does not make any difference as the box is still wrong.

i am using a sealed enclosure made of 3/4 inch MDF. Do u mean i should port it?

what is your enclosure size? the volume... the material used has nothing to do with the frequency outcome...

 

[smartgen2]

The enclosure size is smaller a bit than the recommended size.

your box is sealed or ported? had you tried a ported box?
