Dandoyen Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Also, i know i should listen first, but if this doesn't integrate well with my system then it goes as gift to my father in his system . I'm looking forward to the build as much as the listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I agree with psg. The THT should not be right against a wall. In fact it is supposed to be 2' out from a corner, facing the corner. I've read that you can face them in a corner (which mine is) OR you can put the side against the wall with the mouth firing into the room. The wall will act as an extension of the horn mouth, which is the same thing you're doing when you fire it into a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If you do not want to build your own then I would suggest SVS. With your budget you can get one or even two; here is there site. http://www.svsound.com/products.cfm OPPS just reread entire thread see you already ordered. SORRY!

DRC72 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 My current subwoofer is not working right now(waiting for a new replacement AMP to ship from Klipsch), so I currently set my front speakers to large, and I gotta say my speakers gush out some pretty good bass. Of course a subwoofer will always be better, but damm I gotta admit i was impressed. My front speakers are tuned port bass reflex. 15' woofer, with a mid-range, and tweeter. I bought this set back in 1993, and their still going strong. I had the woofers reconed back in 2008. I'm using the speaker system with the Pioneer VSX-33.

GBShade684 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Mustang, Where did you get this chart? Just a reading from a dB meter? I am in the market(well will be in about 8 months) for a sub. Never owned one. Just trying to understand the advantages / disadvantages of the different setups. Budget is much smaller, but I like learning about all the good options out there.

Moderators dtel Posted August 24, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2011 Great choice, you will not be sorry. That is going to be a very impressive room for 2 Ch and HT, well done. It's going to take a little adjusting to get everything balanced out but it will surprise you in the end. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tragusa3 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 My ears were burning and led me right to this thread. Go figure. Wanted to make a few comments about this sub. Mine took about 8 months of tweaking and a learning curve before I got what I expected. Out of the box and with no EQ, it is very raw and unimpressive. Just be aware that an EQ is essential, not an option. I have a list of recommended EQ filters direct from Danley that I'd be happy to post here if you need. One cabinet will definetely have the output necessary for you room size. One had enough output to be very percussive in the entire 18000cf of basement I have. But the second added a much smoother response in my room. You may or may not have those concerns. I'm using a Behringer EP4000 to drive both my cabinets. I see no reason to consider more expensive amps for this sub. Mine never clips, even driving two cabinets up into the 130db range. Get the picture. It is a loud amp, but I have mine in another room.

CECAA850 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It is a loud amp, but I have mine in another room. As do I, but the fans are easily swapped out if necessary. If it has to be in the same room as you do, the fan swap is a cheap, easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
