Posted December 3, 201311 yr Round about where is the 30hz mark on the SSF adjustment?And the 80hz mark on the LPF
December 3, 201311 yr Pictures? Usually hard to tell by looking at it. Use your ears on where to set it.

December 3, 201311 yr Author LPF is personal preference, anywhere from 80-100hz will work.80hz is what i'd like it set at.I'm pretty sure I'm close.my ssf is my main concern.didn't want it playin much below my box tuning Edited December 3, 201311 yr by garychurch84
December 3, 201311 yr There's a VERY easy way to set the SSF. Start by turning it all the way down and putting in a CD with test tones on it, no music. Start with something like 40hz and turn the volume up enough to get the sub moving. Now switch the tracks down one hertz at a time. As you near tuning you should see the sub moving less and less (while getting a little louder each time) then once you see the sub start moving a little more again you're a hertz or two below tuning. At this point go back and forth on the tracks and figure out which frequency the sub moves the LEAST and that is the tuning frequency of your enclosure. Now put on a track that is 3 to 5 hertz lower than your tuning frequency and turn it up enough to really get the sub moving good but without damaging it obviously. At this point you adjust the SSF up until you see the movement of the sub go down to at least half the amount it was when you started and your SSF is set with no guessing whether it's right or not. This is the exact same procedure that Nick (from Fi) has explained to many other people. It works and works very well.
