DwK Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 I am playing some IASCA songs that they use to test cars, for SPL One is just a cycles test, 360 cycles down to 10 cycles.. Well around 70 cycles or so..... It starts getting extreme..... sounds like the sub is gasping for air, and it blows out major air. Not sure if it will hurt it or not... but I would like to know. I got it set on the little white dot BTW. These test and songs are ment for cars, with Multiple 10- 15 inch woofers, running 100-1000+ watts. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 well. that seems like a crazy way to check out teh bass cause it could really mess them up. if you did not blow anything then you are ok. but for further testing, use HT cd's or Lucas testers you can find on networks like Napster or Audio Galaxy and other P2P setups. If everything sounds ok right now, it is ok, just don't do that again... ------------------ -justin I am an amateur, but if it is professional help you want email Amy or call her toll free: 1-888-554-5665 http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to turn the sub controls all the way down, so not to hear anything weird. It is some insane *** bass. The ammount of air pushed out of that little port is INSANE!!! EVERYONE get on Morphous www.musiccity.com and search under audio, for IASCA Get the song called Do you like the Pressure its awesome Just DO NOT!!

Btrigg Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 About blowing the sub, after a lot of full volume use, if your limiter is working, you can't blow it. About the gasping for air around 70, the sub doesn't have flat response, so that is probably about as loud as it gets. And the sub is meant to blow major air. Try putting a piece of paper against the port when the bass is playing at full volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_tx_16 Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 i really liked morpheus... but it only worked once, on all three computers i have tried, window 98, ME, 2000. ohwell, maybe i need to get a different version. uh.. err... the paper thing... i was listening to Wyclef (of course) the song Gone Till November when all of a sudden my sub made the most terrible noise, i thought it died... it was sheet of notebook paper that was being sucked and blown at the same time. ------------------ -justin I am an amateur, but if it is professional help you want email Amy or call her toll free: 1-888-554-5665 http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
