I am using an Elemental Designs A3-300 subwoofer.
I was testing out my sub today on U-571 in blueray. We all know the depth charge scene, when those seriously low notes goes off my sub clips very bad and I have to back the volume of the sub.
I have heard that most subwoofer clipping can be significantly reduced by backing off the volume knob on the subwoofer and adjusting the low pass frequency on the amp.
I should note that I only notice clipping at high listening levels and when the volume knob on the sub is set at 2/4-4/4 turn clockwise. When I turn the volume down to 1/4 there is no clipping. But when I do this I don't feel the scene is engaging at all.
The problem I have is I like the output that the sub puts out when the volume knob on the sub is way up. Is the sheer output I am asking for out of the question of this single sub? Would the output I be looking for be easier to handle with 2 subs?
