Description

I heard a lot of stories of blown out cores on this subject. Now normally I shoot 300s subs at gain 100 (unity gain) with an L-eXtreme filter. To get the maximum well depth and therefore the maximum detail I used gain 0 this time, at the expense of some noise. I think it turned out pretty well.
