Rippyman Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is the floor concrete? Also your room is a lot bigger than mine so it might take bigger subs to pressurize that room with bass. Also just a suggestion I would put your spikes on your rf-7 so the feet don’t sink in. (unless you like it) Yes its a concrete floor. I plan on playing around with things, I'll keep the forum posted on my results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Reference head, what are your thoughts on the RW-12d vs your new subs? Well the new ones are better but it’s not really a fair fight. They have almost 3 times bigger boxes (probably more like 2 times but they are monsters). I did like the RW-12d for the most part it didn’t hit 20 Hz or anything but it put out a lot of bass and was still somewhat small in size. My only complaint was some port noise on some of the hard bass parts. I would probably still have them if that one didn’t break (I got a great deal on them). Here is a pic of them with my old speakers when I first moved into my house. I think I was only in the house a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippyman Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 So I tried the James Cinema 15 back to back test vs the two SW-112 Klipsch and to my surprise there wasn't much of a difference. The 15 definitley produced a lower tone, but overall the difference wasn't substantial. This tells me I have issues with the room, mainly the concrete floor. I should have put a subfloor in, damnit! I'm going to experiment with raising the subs off the floor, creating a reflection between them and the floor, will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tragusa3 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Or go with more potent subs! I'm on a concrete basement floor and it was hard work getting the shake I wanted. It is doable. Room is shaping up. You've got the patience of Jobe to wait 14 weeks on furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merceg100 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 A little progress. All the plates are on, I take possession July 29th. Where did you order those wall plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to experiment with raising the subs off the floor, creating a reflection between them and the floor, will keep you posted. Not to be negative, on your subs (as they are great subs), but I had the same issue in my basement room (concrete floors), i tried them all, 10", dual 10", single and dual 12" and a single 15", and in the end I choose to build some custom 15" boxes tuned to 18 hrz and used the KA-1000 subwoofer amp to power them. Even then it took some time to find the right placement for them, but in the end, I ended up with the sound and feel that I was looking for. I know that not everyone is willing to spend 1k on a subwoofer amp, when you can buy a really nice powered sub for that price, but for less than 2k I have dual 15" subs that can hit 18 hrz all day long. I love your room, nice and clean great colors, and your pictures are awsome!! good luck with your subs..... ~ ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's much better if the cable isn't discontinued, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's much better if the cable isn't discontinued, isn't it? In theory or in measured results, maybe. Could you tell in a blind test, I highly doubt it. I use Banana plugs and would never consider not using them again. They are just too convenient, especially when you need swap gear or speakers to try other setups. I use wall plates on my surrounds.

Correct, I have a sub outlet on either side. I also have dedicated power supplies for every power outlet on that wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superedge88 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Save some time, money, and aggravation and just put some bass shakers in the couches to work in conjunction with your subs. You'd be surprised just how easy it is to then dial in the exact tactile feel you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
