Imagine if you have an amplifier, this bass boosted music will tend to produce extra bass that causes distortion no matter how good your system is. This music tends to cause frequent distortion thus reducing the strength of the speakers.

Can you have too much bass?

But if you only have one subwoofer, or if you have a non-rectangular room that is not enclosed, you can have this problem of too much bass at very specific frequencies. So what is happening? As the bass waves bounce around your room, they are crossing each other.

Can too much bass damage a speaker?

Too much bass can cause the speaker cones to move excessively beyond its limits — a situation known as over excursion. Over time the cones will deform and eventually break. Also, an extremely loud bass can easily damage midrange speakers because they are not designed to play low frequencies.

Why is my bass making a distorted sound?

To get a super distorted signal, crank the bass knobs, and all the volume and gain knobs all the way up but keep the master volume low. This will insure your signal gets clipped by the master volume and you will hear distortion.

Can bass cause damage?

As you can see, subwoofers are engineered to reproduce bass at different frequencies. While anything greater than 50Hz is considered to be decent, anything lower than that is classified as the deep frequency which is responsible for the mechanical vibrations that cause structural damage.

How do I know if my bass is loud enough?

The bass should be loud enough that the low end is big and powerful, but not so loud that it overpowers the kick drum. Remember to check your reference mixes often to make sure you're staying on course. Once you have the bass level where you want it, don't be afraid to adjust some of the other faders as well.

What is a good amount of bass?

Most anglers would consider anything larger than 5 pounds a big bass. A 5 pound bass would likely be a weekend angler's personal best outside of California, Florida, Texas and few other southern states. A 5 pound bass will also make a professional angler very happy.

Can distortion damage a speaker?

Contrary to popular belief, distortion does not cause speaker damage. Distortion is merely the audible detection of signal "clipping". Clipping is when an audio component can no longer provide enough power supply voltage to "cleanly" amplify the audio signal.

Why do speakers rattle?

Not only are they difficult to soundproof; they cause vibration. The more bass you use in your system, the more vibration. The more vibration, the more chance of rattles. Assuming that you do not want to adjust the bass out of your system, install bass blockers on all of your mid-range (larger) speakers.
