I don't agree. If whales start beaching themselves in your driveway -- even though the nearest ocean is hundreds of miles away -- I'd say you have too much LFE.

In reply to:

My understanding is that the VTF will play music better than the STF because you can switch modes (min/max extension)




I am not too sure I agree with this.

If you have music or movies that plays deeper....then deeper tuning is a good thing. But if not, max output will be fine and probably have less distortion. I am not sure if one mode is more musical than the other.

I don't see how tuning the sub lower with a port blocker could possibly cause distortion. It's already generating the sound; it's just acoustically reinforced when you block the port (at least, that's my understanding).

I don't know about distortion, but the ports sort of act like mufflers in the sense that they cause back-pressure on the driver. The more total volume encompassed by the ports (in other words, the more unblocked ports you have), the less back-pressure there will be on the driver, and consequently, the more SPL (horsepower) it can produce.

The reason I mentioned total port volume above is because both the radius and length of the port matter in determining how difficult it is to move air through it.

In max output, the amp is doing less work to get the same output....so less distortion....even though it is inaudible.

Pete, I must take umbrage to your statement. Having whales beach themselves in your driveway is incredible! Oh wait-- that's just mother-in-law being winched off the flatbed for a visit. And trust me, there is nothing "Stunning" about her.

LOL!! I really lucked out in the in-law department. They love me. Just wait until they really get to know me, though....

DON'T let them get to know you! I'd be pissed off if they stopped visiting you or inviting us on interesting trips! Plus your father in law makes really good margaritas.
