russ69 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've been using two subs, one for what I call mid-bass and the other for low-bass. You can crank the really low one up a bit and get all the subsonic information without making the system too boomy. Anybody else? Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltmanEars Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Very timely --- I have a 1,000 square ft storage room for hifi I dont use and I'm going through the subwoofers today to see which two might be best for KHORNS and movies. The multiple subs actually work to pressurize the room more faithfully/evenly. So far I dont like Khorns and subs for music but Colin does and has found a good solution.

eq_shadimar Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I actually use three subs clustered in a corner to rock my foundation but I do not split out the frequencies. They all run off the same LFE channel from my AVR. Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hometheatergeek Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Quad here. Two velodynes and a Hsu Dual Drive ULS-15 system. The Hsus' for the really low end (15Hz -1db) and the two velodynes for the 30 to 120 hz frequencies. And then the added mid-bass slam from the Forte IIs.

jjc Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I do like the two sub idea here. How are you guys wiring these? I have a killer MK [ 12 " ] sub that puts out plenty low end but would be interested in a second sub, what would you guys suggest for a second, smaller tighter one for a tighter bass and a little higher bass?

artto Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 One day, the store manager at one of the Hi-Fi Hutch stores (Klipsch dealer) wanted to hear Khorns with tubes ~ triodes in particular. So he came over to my place for a visit. This was a couple of years before the introduction of CD in the U.S. As I recall, I put some Jimi Hendrix on the Linn LP-12. We cranked it. And then we cranked it some more. I suggested we go outside. As we closed the doors behind us, the sound level dropped to tolerable levels. When we walked outside and closed the patio door, some of the house siding was audibly vibrating, so were the light fixtures. Paul (ficticious name) was impressed. "Not yet" I said, "Come over here". I went to the outside edge of the brick patio about 20 feet out from the house."Put your hand down, here". He puts his hand down and immediately lifts it like it burned and says "HOLY *****, I CAN FEEL THE GROUND VIBRATING!!!!! (Voodoo Chile). I don't use subwoofers [bs] (for music) [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hsu makes a product called the MBM-12 that is specifically for bass in the 50Hz up to 150Hz region. Its designed to go with 'bottom-feeding' subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjc Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hsu I see, I`ll look those up, You can`t have enough GOOD bass, can you. Of coarse I haven`t solved my main speakers yet so I may be getting the a bit ahead of myself. Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've run with 1 RSW 15, then with a Velodyne 1215 connected, and then with those and the small 10's in a set of RP 3's that were in the set up and the RSW 15, just overshadows the others to the point where I went back to it as a stand alone. I'm looking for a RSW 12 or 10 to run with the 15 and see what that does. It's just too much fun to stop trying new s*&^. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
