Do subwoofers get louder as they break in?

Do Subwoofers Get Louder as They Break-In? Yes! It’s important to remember that break-in always sounds different than your speakers will after they are broken in, but if you take care of them and listen during this process then you can achieve fantastic results.

Should Kick be louder than bass?

The bass should be loud enough that the low end is big and powerful, but not so loud that it overpowers the kick drum. Remember to check your reference mixes often to make sure you’re staying on course. Once you have the bass level where you want it, don’t be afraid to adjust some of the other faders as well.

What is the speed of a subwoofer with no HPF?

Sub junkies slot ported sub has a velocity of 34 m/s with no hpf and he only gets a whisper of noise at the tuning frequency of 14.5hz. Could you elaberate please.

How much can you increase the velocity of a subwoofer?

For a seat 2.5 metres from the sub in a room 5m * 4m, the velocity could be increased by 25%. An allowance for the masking effect of content can also be used. The actual amount is based on the performance of sub’s I’ve built, and on existing industry recommendations.

What is a good port velocity for speakers?

My design goals usually are to keep port velocity to less than 5% the speed of sound (17 m/s) in the audible range (>20Hz) and to less than 8% the speed of sound (26 m/s) below 20Hz – although I don’t really care what happens to the air speed below 20Hz. The only reason to care about it is to minimize the possibility of hearing the port noise.

Do subwoofer ports need more air?

Subwoofer ports have to flow a lot more air than their conventional speaker counterparts. Since increasing the area of a port quickly produces very long ports, the most effective means of moving more air is to increase the air velocity. Ports operating below about 10 m/sec generally have no problems with turbulence and compression.
