RE: Modding Tympani IV- basses?

You can do it, however, you are going to increase the load on your bass amp, so be prepared with a more powerful one than you had planned on.

Second, as JL and RG pointed out, you will have more "slap" and may shorten the lifespan of your bass panels. The lower the freq. the higher the chances of slap, and the higher the volume the worse the slap would be.

Deep bass volume is very deceptive, because it does not sound very loud when you are in fact putting out 100db. At 20 hz that is all of 30 db above the threshold of audibility (70db) and sounds only as loud as 45db at 1khz

I just played some test tones at >90 db spl at the seat (spl meter set on peak and jumping around 91-94 readings which is "corrected" to 103-106 db by the calibration curve - if you want to believe it...) and got a few slaps on 25hz and quite a bit of it at 20hz.
