is my ssf set right ?

[shadowm891 2]

hi guys i have a question my box is tune in-between 34-35hz and i have my ssf set to 29hz and no matter where i set my ssf to i can't listen to all my song's. It's like some song's hit to hard where i have to turn down my volume because my sub's would beat to hard for my subs to handle.

Sub sonic has nothing to do with volume. the gain does that and all songs arent recorded the same.

sorry for my poor english let me try and explain it in the best way i can think. i understand what a gain on a amp does and i understand what the ssf does as well. what i'm trying to explain is on some song's i listen to i have to listen to them at a low volume since they beat real hard when i say beat real hard i mean to where my subs's will move like crazy and you can start smelling the coils burn a little or you will hear the sub pop and was not sure if it might have to do with the way my ssf is set to or if this is normal.

Like I said its the way the music was recorded.Turn the sub volume down on those songs.

my sub volume on my deck which is my sub control don't work no matter how low i turn it my bass wont go down at all.

Yeah, 29hz is a little bit low for an SSF id put it up closer to about 32.

It could be the SSF if you had it set too low and the song you were playing had a lot of content below your enclosure tuning. But that doesn't sound like the problem as 29hz is perfectly fine for a 34hz tuning, generally a reasonable setting is around 1/2 octave below tuning, which in your case would be ~26hz.

It sounds like your problem is either too much power for your enclosure, or improper settings such as gain, bass boost, etc.

question when setting a gain on a amp by ear don't you set it tell you hear a popping coming from the subs then turn it back tell there no popping sound.

How do you know it's et at 29hertz?

Because 99% of the time if you just guess on the knobs you can be very far off.

A crossover calibrator would be a easy way to check and set the crossovers.

lower your gain and bass boost and play it moderate until you can read up how to set your gain, crossover, ssf and filters on hu..you need to have a basic understanding.... there are tons on info out there...
