Re: Response curves... (Kale)
Lol...everything sounds peaky in my car no matter how smooth the origional curve is...
Besides...rock/metal/techno isn't exactly demanding upon the entire bass range. The Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack still sounds awesome...as does E.S. Posthumus and Requiem for a Dream. The yellow curve adds a whole lot of kick to the drums/beats.
Meh...to each his own. :cheers:

Re: Response curves... (TheWacoKid)
Both curves are nice...yellow would be more likely the way to go. How would it sound peaky? It has a very nice curve with a gentle slope. If anything the green one would be on the weak side for the average person look for a sub.

Re: Response curves... (EatRice)
That is exactly it...I don't think it sounds peaky at all...it has a very smooth transition from 150-20 hz in a sweep. The green curve when swept from 150-20 hz felt a little weak in the 45-60 hz range.

Re: Response curves... (Kale)
It isn't a boomcar...I spent 3 days making it not loud outside the car...but I do like to be able to blur my vision when I crank it...so SQL it is for me. If that means I have to deal with an exagerated low end...so be it. :yesnod: :cheers:

Re: Response curves... (TheWacoKid)
Then on the flip side if the car has a drop in the low frequencys...such as the Honda Accord 4 door 1990 body style. You will need to build a box that has a high bass response so equals out inside the vechicle. The information that a computer program provides is only a basis to go by. Ultimately you need an in car measurement.

Re: Response curves... (Kale)
Definately.
This is what I know about my car's transfer function(by ear):
I have a pretty big boost around 70 hz, then a dip from 35-60, and then a big bump from 35 on down to 5 hz or so. When I had my subs sealed I could hit 5 hz with ease...with the ported box I can't anymore, but from 15-30 hz is much stronger than the sealed box...and from 45-60 hits much much harder than it ever did before.
That peak seems to smooth out really well...I thought it would sound like crap at first also.

Re: Response curves... (TheWacoKid)
How would anyone think the yellow curve sounds "peaky and nasty"???
Assuming he crosses the sub at 80 Hz or so, you're looking at a whole 1dB "peak" at 52Hz over what it does at 80Hz.
