What could describe the noise of clipping/clicking when my sub hits a low note?

  • Author

26hz does it the most. I usually listen to mostly decaf music but these songs with the lower frequencies does this annoying sound most. A friend and I thought it was air leaks but fixed that and it's not as bad as it was. I just need some other input on what might be causing this sound.

The sub is an sa15 on an American bass ph4000md. The box is 4.1cubes tuned to 32hz

does it happen at all volume levels? 

sounds like it's bottoming out especially the size box you have that sub in.

 

Play at lower volumes and see if it's present in the front stage speakers first.

Sometimes modded music has transient clipped peaks that "pop" when not edited correctly.

 

You rule that out, then i'm aiming at bottoming out.

yea i know. at 20 hz the noise is not there at all, and it sounds good and clean..

There is a song or two of decafs that hits 26hz and they sound weird on my system. Other songs that i have that go that low do not sound strange at all. I think its just that song and whatever decaf did to it.

No problem. Search around and see if you can find a song that has the same frequency and play it and see if you still get a weird noise.
