I have a new one for you guys.

[pimprolla112]

Some guy posted this on another forum im on i thought it was funny.

for subs you should be running around 50-100hz and have the low pass frequency switched on... the subs that handle higher hz are usually 4ohm or more and can be ran with mixed frequencies... for bass you need a 2ohm or less sub and low frequencies... this gives the higher dbs...



i thought it was funny. Thought i would share the laughter.

Sorry. I don't understand...thanks for sharing though.

edited for easier laughter. He was acting like he knew car audio to the nth degree and he posted that the impendance is in conjunction with the frequency. They have nothing to do with each other.

[PaulD]

actually the impedance of a driver is a function of the frequency it is being fed ......

although it is hard to say what he is getting at, I think he is saying the subs (that play the lower freq's) usually have a lower impedance rating. This is generally true because most bass amps are class D, and make a LOT more power at lower impedances.

paul knows everything

[pimprolla112]

I dont know either i thought it was funny he was trying to tell some guy with p2's how to tune his system.

I explained the db drag comps and everything to him he didnt know what a burp was.

[corning_d3]

I guess I don't know what "burp" means, either. Or maybe I call it something else..

[PaulD]

the burp is where you play the bass for 3 seconds to get your highest volume in a competition.

I am far grom knowing everything, just been at this a while .... my first car stereo comp was like 1979 or 80.

[pimprolla112]

Damn you were at it before i was born. Ive only been at it for 5-6 years, but ive been around like with my uncle and my grandfather since i was 12. I still have alot to learn.

[corning_d3]

Ahh, I see. I've been messing with electronics for a while(16yrs?), but never heard of that. But then again, I don't do competition.

[pimprolla112]

Yeah i didnt know what a burp was until 4 years ago when i was with my uncle at a show near baltimore. But this guy acted like he has been competing for years, and he said whats a burp.

And i do sort of understand paul how the impendance can have a slight effect on the frequency but theway he made it sound was that a dvc 2 ohm would play lower frequency ranges while a svc 4ohm would play higher in the same box and at the same power level.

[PaulD]

the impedance of a driver in the bass region can be a wild curve, it can go as high as like 60 ohms on some. That's part of what the box does ...... smooth out the impedance curve.

and yea, it's kinda fun to sit back and listen to people make fools of themselves when they talk like an expert on something they just heard someone else say. Generally they attack you when you say something contrary, because they can't defend their statement(s)

[pimprolla112]

^LOL

Its kind of funny to watch them at work.

I cant remember whos sig it is but they have someone talking about an rx8 and then how they get horrible gas mileage, then he screws up and says but i guess thats normal for a v6. LOL oh man thats great.
