    SUBSONIC FILTER ADJUSTMENT This amplifier incorporates a subsonic filter to maximize the performance of a subwoofer. The subsonic filter is a high pass filter that removes unwanted bass output at very low frequencies from the woofer. This increases the output of a subwoofer by as much as 3 dB by increasing the mechan- ical power handling of the subwoofer.
