Hey, im making my first pair of speakers with a tweeter and 6 B&W mid/bass drivers (Each speaker: 1 Tweeter, 1 Mid, 2 Woofers). Currently I havent put them in the enclosure, they are just wired up on my living room floor. I was testing them out, tried playing some games, fantastic (the bass is great for counterstrike). Music, also great. Movies? Not so much. When playing explosions, the woofers (at the peak of the sound) make popping sounds (like when u hold a piece of card rigidly, and bend the centre so it makes that "pop"). This is only if go over (roughly) half way on the volume bar. Im not sure what the cause is since i'm quite new to all this. Im thinking maybe its because the drivers dont go very low (down to 75Hz) and maybe the explosions are below that threshold? I looked at some other woofers on the internet and saw on a couple frequencies that went to 30hz. But I dont know if this is normal, for all I know around 70 is standard, and going down to 30 are for higher end drivers?? Or maybe this is just what happens when its not in its enclosure?
If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thx
