Hey all,
Ive never really been knowledgeable about hardware but have years of experience on the software side.
I make electronic music and have always cut my lows out because ive never owned a subwoofer to hear it and do any manipulation in that range, despite wanting to make bass music. I’ll have a bigger space next year and want to start developing synth patches that take advantage of that range (subwork like GRiZ and Bassnectar stand out).
I know that there is some relation to diameter and ported/nonported that will make an impact on accurate reproduction, but most of the threads I find are for “BIGGER BIGGER BASS” and mainly Car AV.
I was originally going to get a ported 10" because i think that would reach the deepest notes but then I wonder if it wont be a very tight response. So then I was thinking 2x 8" because it distributes the power more evenly and i can use higher gain for clarity without just overblowing the sub bass. I also heard that nonported subs have a flatter response? I got a bit lost in the search.
If you wanted the best fidelity you could get, down to 20-30Hz range, what speakers would you go with?
FYI: up top i am thinking 6.5" with 1" tweeters to compliment.
I may have exaggerated when i said i cut my lows. Theyre not gone, theyre just not very well-built. I usually just cut or sidechain the sub out of pretty much everything and layer a sine wave down there in those spots instead. The end result is actually pretty good, and i do go test it in my car which has 2x sealed 10" subs just to confirm everything is where it should be. i would much prefer to be able to sit at my desk and manipulate the sub in my synth patches without having to export and go for a drive lol
So it looks like the Quazars are 3 speakers whereas the pulsars are 2. Is there a reason to go with one over the other?
