TIGHT BASS
TIGHT BASS is sometimes misunderstood...
If your bass is crossed over at a low crossover point the bass from the woofer cannot by itself be TIGHT...
The PERCEPTION OF TIGHTNESS is often governed by how well the other speakers in the car match the levels
of the woofers ....
Think about it for a second...
When a drumstick strikes a drum (or even a foot peddle) the initial sound you hear has the tightness of the drum skin or
drum surface, which is ACTUALLY HIGHS not lows! The bass that comes with it might be VERY LOW, but what defines
the drums tightness is ACTUALLY HIGH FREQUENCY!
Think about this also, or better yet try it yourself, Turn all the amps off except your bass amp and the woofers
(only) WILL SOUND MUDDY!
This MUDDYNESS is what woofers DO!
And crossed over like we do in cars MUDDYNESS IS ALL THAT THE WOOFERS CAN DO!
ITS NORMAL!
SO, to make these woofers sound tight, the secret is to make your MIDS and HIGHS mave lots of output just like your woofers do.
Then the system makes the woofers SOUND TIGHT!....
Seriously take the TIGHTEST BASS SYSTEM you know and turn off all the amps but the bass amps and I thinkyou will agree
with me the bass drivers alone SOUND MUDDY and NOT
TIGHT at alll.....
