jfviper666 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 What would be in your own opinion the best sub for such a setup? I plan on getting a second sub someday, but for the moment I would only have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted August 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2011 What would be in your own opinion the best sub for such a setup? I just came across a guy in the AVS Forum has a 200" Acoustic Transparent Screen with two Elemental Designs A7s - 650 subs (shown in the front corners). I wasn't aware ED made such a sub. Now that's a sweet setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Budget, size constraints, finish? Purchase or build yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Just guessing here but with his current equipment I would say your looking at a couple grand at least for a budget. Room size and space for actual footprint of the sub is still important. Do you like the cylinder SVS? Ported or sealed? All HT or some music mixed in?

MikeFord Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 One of my tests for a subwoofer is that I want a seamless blend with the other speakers. I want to be able to switch between subwoofer mode on my AV system, and full range mains, and hear no change in the timbre on material with bass, but not bass below the frequency range of the mains. Some piano works well for this sort of test. I do expect to hear improvements in the sound stage, localization and depth.The rest, making the room shake is just physics and money.

It's not the type or brand of subwoofer that will give you the blend that you're looking for. It's the time and effort that you put into setup that will give you that effect. Experimenting with room placement, phase, crossover setting and bass traps are the only sure way to get what you're looking for. The best subwoofers money can buy can sound like crap if you don't learn how to properly integrate them with your mains. Once everything is done right, your sub will disappear and it will sound like your mains are virtually bottomless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
