To me the prupose of a Sub is to handle the subsonics and to some extent the infrasonics. A lot of the stuff I have demoed in SQ vehicles have the ability to handle below 30hz down into the infrasonic range with authority.
Here you are using one single driver to cover quite a broad area of the spectrum but do not have the ability to reproduce the lower end. Dont you need a pretty large room or open area to use these types of enclosures btw? I think I read somwhere that they do not work well in an area where there isnt enough air to load the throat or something so (making them impractical for in car use as well).
Hello,
You are correct, that is the purpose of a sub-woofer, the other question, what is audible about bass that goes under 30hz? I can agree to certain points, but I've been trying something a bit different in recent times.I can agree sub-bass is needed, but how much?, not alot in my experience.From actual listening, songs rarely have notes under that.
Perception can be physicaly there, you don't so much as hear these, but rather feel them, nothing a tactile transducer can't handle (aka bass shaker).Impression of the sound is the majority, if you can hear the tone, then you mind tells you others are there, thus you believe it, but even a simple suggestion while listening can make one think they hear and you can have selective hearing based on this.
Psyco-acoustics play a very large part of any sq base system.Your eyes ears and mind work one in one there, your ears hear one thing, but you see another, while your mind thinks something different.
A very good example would be the bose demonstrations.They chose the music they want you to hear, then make small suggestions while playing, but your eyes see something different, hence they always sound good to the average consumer.
Iasca judges, remember the blackout of head unit screens, windshield blocking and a few more interpretations of some cars?
I would explain a bit further, but in about 1/2 hr, have to go pick up kids.See you in a bit.I look forward to the responses !!!!
