Posted April 17, 200817 yr i was looking at epicenters and crossovers and i ran across this model which i think may be what im looking for..it give me the capabilities of a crossover and it also gives me the bass control knob where i can raise and lower the bass from the drivers seat which is what i was wanting from the epicenter..what do you guys think?http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=1254
April 17, 200817 yr Your D310 can do everything it can do for your subs other than have a knob. Conveniently nearly all sub amps come with an optional knob which will be much cheaper and a better solution than using an offboard piece.

Conveniently nearly all sub amps come with an optional knob which will be much cheaper and a better solution than using an offboard piece. i agree. for subs.... a good head unit and a good amp should allow your to get where you wanna be..... unless maybe M5 tell me if im wrong here...... your going stright up SQ.... then i would only imagen you would need a great h/u a great amp/ exteral EQ a prosseser. and a crazy cross over.

If you can get away with no processing by installing things right it would always be my preference. If you can't of course a processing can surely help.

April 17, 200817 yr Author you know ive always stayed away from ported because of so many peoples responses to it when i told them about going ported..they away say it will be muddy or sloppy..it wont have that tight,low hard hitting bass to it..and i mostly listen to rap like about 80% rap and 20% rock and everything else..
April 17, 200817 yr It is easier to make a ported box play low than it is to make four speakers image. A low tuning frequency and decently large port is all you need. There is no reason that ported boxes can't sound good, although it is easier with a sealed for sure.
April 17, 200817 yr Author also although its pictured that 6xs doesnt come with the knobthe pic on woofersetc has it on there
