Re: Can too low of a frequency damage my speakers?

Feeling pretty stupid. I just figured why the stereo sounds so bad and noisy playing DVDs. I had the stereo hooked up to the TV audio outputs instead of out of the DVD player and the TV's tone controls, volume, and it's general terrible noisy circuitry was ruining the sound. Switched it to the DVD player and all is well.

I bet that made a major improvement. :)

Your avatar shows a 604E. Is this what you are using? If so, what is your box alignment/tuning frequency?

Does this apply to a 614 cab? Because I could not find a spec sheet on the frequency range for it.. The tuning for the enclosure.
It seemed to indicate..to go with the speaker's specs...That is, if using a 414 go by its range...417 etc...
Being a heathen and mainly a MI guy, I am more than ignorant on the physics of sound and spl etc... ... I know by reading JBL lit, that their enclosures, purportedly can attenuate or vice versa, the low end of a specific driver...of course, they have over, under hung Voice Coil drivers etc..
