Hi,
Watching the BR of Batmam :The Dark Knight, i have heard some weird bass on 2 or 3 chapters (french track, UK edition). Nothing frightening but disturbing to my ears.
I've made some tests after the movie on the 152nd minutes (second part of the hospital explosion).
Putting my finger on the external part of the woofer (my only simple way to "analyze" the move of the woofer), it clearly pushes it 10mm away.
Looking at JBL 2242 pdf http://www.jblpro.com/pub/components/2242.pdf , the Xmax is 9mm and the maximum peak to peak excursion before dammage is 50mm.
I believe the 2242 is working between this 2 values on this movie scene. (closer to 10-15mm, not 25mm)
The question is why ?
I use a Crown Xti2000 with Architec 1.9. Here is my setup :
My room is 4.15mx7.35x2.2m. Huge room mode at 25-30Hz.
I have try to change the HP filter from 12db/oct to 48db/oct, to lower the bandpass gain at 0db instead of +3.24db : the woofer was still pushed out around 10mm.
So i don't believe the probleme is coming from very low bass but maybe to the signal around 30-40Hz.
