Active Sub Woofer Tuning

[7seater]

Hi I have install a 8" active sub-wooder with box on my ride. How to tune on the bass? What frequency should be set?lowest frequency is 50 hertz. On the headset, what bass setting is suitable? Any advise is welcome. I can test all advise given.

if u like tight bass the set to lowest frequency and cut off at 70Hz.

 

if u like boomy bass the set from 80Hz and above.

Thanks for your replied.

If the frequency is set lower than 70Hz, what will be the effect? Will the bass tight or lost somewhere?

You mentioned cut off at 70Hz, are you saying to set at 70Hz?

Because the woofer has a knob to turn in the range of 50Hz to 200Hz. The turning range is estimation only.

 

Hope you can share more.

80 ~ 100 hz

80Hz~100Hz, is the setting range for best bass effect?

[Jamesc]

The lower the range you set, the tighter the bass will be.

 

However from an 8 inch woofer you wont get much bass at 50.

 

So you can try and set at 50 to 70 for tight bass but it will be quite soft.

 

Then try setting at 80 to 100Hz if you need more volume.

U cant expect much on 8 inch sub, tis range should be ok.

Thanks bro. Will do some testing with the given range. Does increase bass on the headunit make significant difference? Can do something to the box to have tight bass?

Thanks. I thinks so. Should not expect much from 8" sub. Can do something to make the bass tight and strong. The woofer is Pyle Red. Does doing something to the inner box matters. Prefer tight bass. So called solid
