Subsonic filters are used mainly for ported enclosures to keep the sub from over exurting, usually below 20 hz. Depends on how low you tune your box to also. |

I don't push it at 80% volume at 80% gain either. At 50% gain I can't go above 40% volume or so without everything falling off my shelves. I found my "sweet" spot. Everyone's is different.
