Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 13396 Registered: Jul-05 | so 38hz is the lowest u guys would go ? have heard 38hz & its kinda deep at expense of loud .....40hz makes it alot loude but lack lows ....see thats why i really dont think much of 95s since its just mainly built for LOUD but not very musically accurate IMO .... |
