awhile ago i finished a diy sub project. 2 jbl12gg01 12" subs in individual 3 cu. ft boxes ported @ 32hz powered by a home receiver amp i had.
at first i had ran into alot of clipping problems at medium to high volumes, i eventually fixed the clipping problem by lowering bass amplication created by the computer soundcard, but at the cost of very little lower-end bass response
last week, i ended up adding an active subwoofer crossover between my computer and the receiver that powers the subs.
after trying trying out different settings/setups. i had found the final setting. after doing so i had noticed a huge diff, the bass response was unbelievable and the best part was no clipping.
on the crossover i set the xo frequency @ 90hz and turned on the 12db boost @ 45hz, along with the five band equalizer on the receiver set with [email protected]+10 db, [email protected] and everything else @ -10db.
basically the question im asking with a 10 db eq boost @ 50hz on top of a 12 db boost @ 45hz.
am i risking damage to the subs?
