On that note, you should also replace the standard polyfill in your M80s with some nice "fast" polyfill that increases the speed of sound within your cabinet. And don't forget to calibrate it to affect only the frequencies below 80Hz. You wouldn't want your mids and trebles to outrun your bass.

In reply to:

Yes Peter, but that makes your bass even "slower".




So does this mean bass extension will be lower?!

I may get some 50 ft cables and bi-wire them....the m60's will go as my SVS 25-31pci!

oh yes, a whole new group of audio nonsense has started in my head!

What you need to do to hit those really low notes with your M60s is take the Doppler effect into consideration. When you want your bass to be lower, just run away from your speakers as fast as you can. The resulting relative expansion of the sound wave will drop it a few Hertz!

Yes Marcus, Peter is entirely correct about making use of the doppler effect with your sub. Another practical application of the effect would be if you just drove fast enough all the red lights would be green for you.

It's not scary if you know the cat... About all he'll do to you is sit on you and crush your pelvis.
