low pass filter question

[rock]

just had my amp and sub for 2 weeks now, went back to the dealer as they said I should to set the gains etc after the sub was been run in.

sounds now like I have much less bass, from having a look at the amp now , it seems it was on full range on the fliter before and now theyve put it on low pass, Ive always known that you run the amp low pass with a sub, but cant help feeling im getting a fuller sound with it on full range, will damage the the sub by not running low pass on the amp ?

you will damage the sub by running it on full-range, sadly the sub doesnt have the flexibility to be able to play mid and treble without causing itself some damage

ok, thanks for the tip, called the shop and they said theyll have a look at it, they said usually you find after they adjust after a week or 2 there should be more bass.

well see.

ok, went back to the dealer, adjusted the cross over frequency to kinda get the "best of both worlds", 50cent was in the player when the other guy tuned it so there was virtually no bass when listening to any normal commercial music or anything at low volume.

anyways little adjustment now and sounds great, even when its just on in the background.
