Svs Pb12/2 Nsd?

[captiankirk28]

I had a dumb question, but with my Sub that i have it has the switch to chang the HZ from 25hz to 20hz than to 16hz, now if i just set it at 25 does that mean i wont get any thing below or are the different setting just to maximize thouse settings for that setting, but it will still handle the other settings just not as well? Sorry for a kinda stupid question but oh well

That switch is for the subsonic filter. When you run the subwoofer with all 3 ports open, the tuning is 25Hz, and you should choose the 25Hz subsonic filter so your subwoofer driver isn't trying to play the frequencies below the tuning point. Whatever tune you use, SVS recommends using the subsonic filter to go with it.

Also the lower your tune the filter/port the more acoustic energy will be shifted away from 25 Hz, then to 20 Hz then to 16 Hz. Since there is more audio at 25 Hz than the lower frequencies, some people prefer the 25 Hz setting for more bass. If you have a parametric equalizer for the bass frequencies, you can alter the bass output at different frequencies to get 16 Hz tuning with the 25 Hz bass emphasis too. If you don't have a parametric equalizer you just have to experiment with the three frequencies to determine which you prefer. To me, unequalized, there was little bass output. At 20 Hz I started getting regular bass output so I stopped there.

^^^ What he Said^^^

Make sure when you are changing the filter switch that you are plugging the appropriate number of ports...

for 25hz no plugs,
for 20hz 1 plug
for 16hz 2 plugs...

If you do not do this, SVS states that damage can occur....
