Band pass SSMB's... Input appreciated

Titan 3 · 12-31-2012, 07:34 PM

Hi Gents,

As the title states, I'm wanting to bandpass a set of kickers as my midbass, and was hoping for some insight on how to do this. I've purchased Morel Hybrid Ovation II's for the doors, and SSMB's for the under seats. They will be powered by an Alpine PDX 4.150. The signal is being flattened with a cleansweep. After doing some reading on here, it looks like using the low pass on the amp, and and FMODs would likely be my best option, but opinions are welcomed. If I do go with FMODs, what frequency should I be considering, and what would you recommend the low pass on the amp be set to?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.. The forum members on here have been a huge help.

I run the ssmb underseats. I low pass the amp at ~180. I would high pass them around 40. Higher if you are running a trunk sub.
