you need 2 subs, just slightly differing style ans size. A front firing 8" to give some bottom end to the sats, with the sub10 taking the lowest of it all,and with authority. It's a wonderful combo if you have small sats for mains.

I did the same thing with the y splitter for the lfe cable. One for the new sub10 and the other for the yamaha 8". With both on, the sound field is incredible. The sub10 runs the same after the y splitter. I changed the x-over setting on the subs so they don't overlap much.

I was thinking along those lines. Maybe the 8" handled my low mids better in conjuction with the quintets, which don't have that much. With the sub10, it made this hand off of frequency more pronounced. I've tried setting the phase, which can only be set to 0 or 180. Now I'm thinking about running the Yamaha and the sub10. I'll lower the crossover point in the sub10 so both subs don't combine that much of the bass frequency. I'll split the LFE signal to both subs. Interesting I just saw a post on this very setup. What timing.

I just got the SUB10 today. It was to replace my old 8" Yamaha front firing sub. Well I did a test on music and movies. I think there's a problem. I can tell I'm not really getting the "high" end of the bass notes. This is very apparent listening to a bass guitar. I have the crossover on the back set to high, which is 120Hz. I looked at the crossover knob on the yamaha, and it was around the same. But the yamaha sounds better with the notes. Sure the sub10 booms some in the movies, but I feel there is a range of sound now missing. I have the Quintet II system on a pioneer 1014TX using the sub/LFE connection to the sub. I almost want to keep the yamaha now. Any help?
