Message: <blockquote data-quote="windshear" data-source="post: 796247" data-attributes="member: 619">Its funny how people call subs slow and sluggish. In my personal experience its that perception as a result of a sub that actually plays lower frequencies than what their "fast" subs are capable of. A simple way to prove this is to put a high pass filter in to match the performance of the less capable sub and voila they sound exactly the same. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Its all about not hearing whats down there that gives the false perception. The more capable sub sometimes exposes the poor LF that was not properely EQ'd post processing in the studio that the lessor sub cannot replay. It also depends on how you have integrated the sub and where it was located and if it was time aligned to optimise the crossover splice. A poorly time aligned sub can either constructively or destructively emphasise the crucial crossover splice.</blockquote>
