[QUOTE="Richard Stringer, post: 1786, member: 166"] I've been wondering, all this talk about damping factor, and how it affects cone movement and the higher the damping factor, generally the tighter the bass because of the greater control over the cone's movement. So I thought i'd ask you guys. So if I used an amplifier, say a bridged Crown K2 which has a damping factor of 3,000 on one of my subs, and then I used one side of a Crown XTI6000 (just an example) which has a damping factor of 500 to power my other sub, would the average person be able to tell any difference in tightness of kick drums or sub basslines? I'm talking set up so both subs are outputting the same spl. Also say cable length of 3 metres for both amplifiers because my speaker cable lengths are never longer than 3 metres. Plus interconnection cables (XLR) are no longer than 3 metres from the dj mixer to the loudspeaker management system and 1 metres patch cables from the loudspeaker management system to amplifiers.
