  FV15HP Direct Servo subwoofer
15" ported audiophile sub with 600WRMS amplifier
Performance & Specifications

FV15HP has two port openings. With two ports open, the max extension is 18hz and the rumble filter should be set to ON/2 position. In the following is the frequency response when extension filter is set to 14hz and low damping.

To achieve lower group delay and lower bass extension at 12hz, customer can plug one of the ports and set the rumble filter position to OFF/1. In the following is the resulting frequency response with extension filter set to 14hz and low damping.

The level matching between two port mode and one port mode is very good as shown in the following figure when the volume setting is unchanged and the rumble filter setting is at ON/2 and OFF/1, respectively.
