Bass head noob, subs advice

Recommended Posts

So I bought a sundown x-15 based off the rms and it being a sundown sub.

I had a sa-15 and loved it, it hit all the notes I wanted and put in work.

I had it powered by a kicker ix1000.1 in a 3.5 ish box tuned to 35hz.

Now I just swapped the subs in the same box so I'm not too sure what the box is tuned to with the x-15 it hits low notes really nice, but most of the music I listen to doesn't have low low notes.

My question is should I keep the x build a box for the x. And get a 8 or 10" for midbass, maybe that will fill the gap.

Or sell the x a d get maybe a fi bl or ssa xcon, right now they will be powered by a alpine m240 later upgrading to sundown saz 3500 for a pair.

Goals are all around daily sub, that hits all notes high and low lp 80hz most music I listen to on daily Barely has any low notes so x sounds funny,

I just ordered a sax 125.4 so I could run the front channels for 2 sa6.5s and the rear channels for 8 or 10"

Haha no by just ordered i meant yesterday. I mean if that was the better option that's what I could do, I know typical noob mistake ordering a sub that kills lows thinking it will sound better. When really doesn't know any better and higher notes is what he considers loud

Maybe you can try some different settings : higher LPF (try 100 Hz), higher SSF, reset the gain with the new sub,...

and tell us what you think.

 

Good luck OP :)

Well I did try messing with the settings, maybe I should of tried a different box but the sub is now sold. I loved the way it looks and sounds with bass heavy songs like rap but for most music I listen too....sad to say its not for me. I'll be putting my sa15 back in until I figure out what else to get.
