cornfedksboy Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I there almost 7ft apart and 1ft away from the back wall 7 foot really isn't wide enough IMO, but rooms are different so let your ears be the judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Just moved them quick this morning , I didnt try and make it all pretty I will do that once I know if its staying this way . I put the subs on the side , and I think if it stays this way I will leave them on the side , so I can just slide them out easy if I need to get in back of the rack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuBXeRo Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 this is the biggest negative i find with the rf-7's, the fact that they are so big and their soundstage so large that they have to have a decent distance apart to breathe and create a more fluid soundstage. It has helped me come to the conclusion that the rf-82's are the largest most people need while keeping vesitility of placement, sound quality and performance. I will say though, the soundstage the rf-7's produce during movies is incomparable to the rf-82's, the magnitude just isnt there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I didnt wat to tell anyone this , because I didnt want to look like a wimp . I read all these storys about moving these VTF-15H subs and I just laughed thinking what a bunch of wimps then mine showed up no big deal I slid it down the stairs while it was in the box flipped the box over and unpacked it , now Pete from HSU told me it is best to put large towel under the sub and pull the sub to the spot you want it . Okay that worked great until I got in the corner then I had to get behind it and use 1 arm and like curl it and pull all of a sudden I heard a loud tear in my arm then came the pain and then my arm turned purple and I couldnt move it , off I went to the hospital and guess what I tore my bicep well after 2 weeks it got better and I was moving my daughter and I had to carry a large tv down the stairs and I tore it again , next week I go in I might need to have my arm opened up . Lesson dont curl a 100 pound plus sub with one arm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUBALES Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Vol=9:00 / phase=0deg. / Eq#2 / Q. Control .5 / Crossover freq 80 / Switch = Out Mine I know mine sounded really bad with my Switch set to OUT.. and when I ran Audyssey I set my Vol=to 9:00 but over time I moved it to 11:00. And I only use my sub for HT. My L and R RF-7II are set at 40Hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Do you think the VTF-15H is decent , its got great reviews but Im just not getting the bass I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUBALES Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I love mine... I have only compared it to Klipsch subs (RW-10 and 12) but it was twice the sub. Even when you turn it up it does not give you that much bass? Almost like your driver is moving a lot but you are getting no sound/bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I guess Im looking for to much , I want to feel it during a movie like hit you in the chest type of feeling . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I guess Im looking for to much , I want to feel it during a movie like hit you in the chest type of feeling . That's not too much to ask with those subs. I can feel certain frequencies at a high volume in my chest with my WF-35s, no sub. If you get your speaker placement correct in your room, you'll feel it.

Vital Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I moved them did you see pic Maybe you need to put some bass traps and acoustic panels in your room, might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I moved them did you see pic I did see that and I am anxiously awaiting a review! It may or may not make a difference depending on your room. I'm not sure what laying the subs on the side will do. My initial thought is that they will not produce as much bass, but I've never tried it, so what do I know? I hope you didn't reinjur your arm in the move!!!

A1UC Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I just put the XPA-2 XPA-3 back in the mix now so I need to run some wires , They wont stay on there sides its just easier for me right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I spoke to HSU and they said , what it sounds like im missing is Mid Base so I am going to buy a MBM-12 Mid Base Module 2xVTF-15H 1X MBM-12 That should do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I spoke to HSU and they said , what it sounds like im missing is Mid Base so I am going to buy a MBM-12 Mid Base Module Why not just EQ? With 4-10" woofers on tap, mid-bass output capability shouldn't be among your major concerns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Im going to wait on the mid base sub , I will be getting a Onkyo Pre Pro w XT32 by the weekend I will run setup and see what happens first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
