[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 31958, member: 4"] Re: Colt's Neck High School Graduation Evan, I already put in a 3dB boost at 30Hz to try and get the sub to sound a little "bigger". Look at that rolloff. A 6dB boost at 20Hz wouldn't do shit, you'd need more like 15dB to make it to 20Hz. That's totally unrealistic, IMHO. I don't have an impedance meter so I don't know what the tuning frequency of the box is or the resonant frequency of the drivers, but it is just totally done below 30. Maybe if it had a 2nd order acoustic rolloff it could be equalized to get another 1/3 octave LF extension a la Bag End, but that is 4th order easy, maybe 6th order rolloff.
