How low can The Gladen subs play?

Hi,

I have a Gladen 200 Bmw 3-way kit installed in my car running via Mosconi 6to8 to The amp.

Now, I have searched and searched But not found The answer. How low can I play with The subs I have? I would like to go lower than 50 Hz with them and take my trunk sub out..

Again: How low can The Gladen underseat sub play without any harm?

I'm sure you can go down to 35-40hz it depends on how much power your giving them.

Other than the SWS-8 subwoofer, any other PnP woofer for the E9X in the market is basically a woofer. Meaning, they are not subs.

A 50Hz high pass at 18dB will keep them happy and long life. If you want a sub then get a sub.

Thanks for your answers guys!

I am running 70W to each woofer now.

So if I dont wan't a trunksub the SWS-8 are the option I have? But, as I understand they lack midbass instead. So the most ultimate in my case is keep on running as I do, with a subwoofer hitting from the trunk.

My subwoofer I use today is 12" and in a sealed enclosure, faced towards the backseat and playing out to my precious seat via the skihole

That would be the best option. The trunk sub plays everything up to around 55hz and the underseats from 55-180hz. Jehnerts are good choice for midbass.

So, to get back most of my trunkspace and to seal the sound from the sub I went to my local dealer and ordered a DLS Performance OA12D subwoofer. When it arrives we'll book a time where he will install it for me as open air trough the skipass.

Hopefully I will finally be satisfied!
