Heathit AS 101: Help with tuning cabinets for deeper bass

[bowtie427ss]

That being said what will stop this insanity is a confirmation of whether my woofers are operating properly. I suppose if they test to spec then I can rest easy knowing that these speakers are sounding as they should and I can add a sub when I feel like adding a sub to get the sound that is more pleasing to my ears. So, please, can someone recommend the best way of going about this. I have a digital multimeter.

There's nothing wrong with a little faith in your ear/brain connection.

Frankly, I don't even know what you mean when you differentiate between strong bass and extended bass.

Strong bass = Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" bass line that get's you moving and reaching for the volume knob for some clockwise rotation even if you hate the song.

Extended bass = 64 foot pedal bombard stop on a large pipe organ, T-rex walking thru the jungle on a Telarc CD, the note at the end of "Lucky Man" by Emerson Lake and Palmer, essentially the lowest musical octave on down into the subsonic realm where acoustic energy is mostly palpable and barely audible................................... 16hz.

Just an example of my interpretations...........................
