I just need info. about audio.
I need to know what is good for bass,
how does ohms, watts, hertz, and dB affect it??
I want a lot of good bass for my car. (1992 Honda Civic Si)
I know the more ohms, the more resistance, which means less power, but what do the other audios do??
Is the higher Watts, Hertz, and dB good?

wow, that is alot of information.
ohms is resistance, more ohms = cleaner power
less ohms = more power
Watts is a measurement of power. double the wattage doubles the volume. a double in volume is a gain of 3 dB.
The human ear can hear a range from ~20Hz to 20,000Hz.
A ported box tuned to 34-38Hz will sound good in a 92 civic.
In a SPL competition it is easier to achieve higher dBs at a higher frequency (45Hz).
A ported box can up to double the volume over a sealed box.
Your speakers must be compatible in ohms to the amplifier’s stability in ohms.
boss, legacy and visonic suck.
any other questions?
ohms don’t matter, as long as they match up with the amp. watts are to help you achieve decibels, but HOW you set everything up effects that just as much as watts. many people are what i call “watt crazy” and there are other ways of achieving decibels. decibels are BASICALLY how loud it sounds and how hard it hits (it being speakers or subs). the more decibels, the more powerful. hertz has to do with pitches and tones. the higher the hertz (Hz), the higher the pitch of the music. anything under 200 Hz are low frequencies (like the “low” on the eq), 200 Hz – 2 kHz (2000 Hz) are mid’s (the “mid” on the eq), above 2 kHz are the highs (high on the eq). subs don’t handle more than 500 Hz, and amps don’t generally supply them with more than 400 Hz anyway, there is a crossover, so you can tell it at what frequency to stop sending to the woofers. is having any of these higher better? depends what you want. watts are an easy way to achieve decibels (dB) but they aren’t the deciding factor, your eq, the size of the box, the sensitivity of the woofers, etc. all help that as well. if you want it more powerful, than high decibel levels are definately better. as for hertz, it’s all a matter of what you like. your speakers are going to handle everything (generally) and you only have to worry about it with your subs, and it’s just a matter of preference. if you like it to just thump, you want lower Hz only, I personally like to have a boomier, fuller sound so i set my crossover around 250 Hz so that it’s handling some lower mids.
this is very general and basic, but i hope it helps. good luck
Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..
When I was hurt in that car accident my life would be changed for all time. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be in pain for ever.
This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good lawyer to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.
How bad was it? I has bedridden for 5 months, I had to have constant care and my clinic bills went through the roof!
Gratefully, I found a good referral site to help me.
I will post more later this year to tell you more about what I have been going through.

Tyvm for the useful information! I wouldn’t have discovered this myself!
