jeffgeorge Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I am wanting to upgrade and go with more bass for my HT. I have a KSW-12 and would like more bass. I have considered getting a KSW-15, or perhaps a RSW-12 (more $$). The other possibility might be to go with another KSW-12 for dual sub action. Any advantage to that? Ideas please!

Guest BobG Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Dual subs will provide smoother bass, but not much more bass or deeper bass (unless the reduced standing waves eliminate a suck out at your listening spot in which case you may perceive deeper and louder bass). The KSW-15 will be a step forward but not a huge one. The RSW-12 will make a very big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgeorge Posted May 15, 2002 Author Share Posted May 15, 2002 Thanks Bob. Would the RSW-10 be a significant improvement over the KSW-12 with respect to more accurate bass. Will it also produce more bass?? I like the idea of the RSW-12... it's just too far out of my budget. ------------------ RF-3's : mains RC-3 : center RS-3's : surrounds KSW-12: subwoofer Receiver: Denon 2801 DVD: Panasonic DVD-A120 CD: Yamaha CDC-765 Cables: Tributaries Sat Receiver: Hughes Direct-TV DD5.1 ------------------------- Family room: RB-5's (Mahogony) Receiver: Denon AVR-2000 (2ch.)

Coolin Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 You might want to try to upgrade you power supply. I have found the sound gets mutch more controlled and more extension in the bass. You will need about a 100 watt transformer with a + and - 35V output. you can even try sealing the port for a less boomy sound. A little bracing does wonders as well. I have had VERY good results with mine. CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belial Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I love Klipsch, but while they make great speakers, I believe you can find better subs for the money out there. SVS is one company that is highly rated by many users. For more information about subs or home theater in general, you might want to visit www.hometheaterforum.com Good luck.

Mlstrass Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 jeffgeorge, Roughly what's your budget? Have you considered DIY? My dual 15" could be duplicated for around $700-$800 depending upon what amp you choose. It will provide ALL the bass you'll ever need. Check the HomeTheaterForum and search for "sonosubs". Good luck...Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgeorge Posted May 20, 2002 Author Share Posted May 20, 2002 Thanks for all of your input. I will look into all of your suggestions. Mike, I don't want to say that I have a "budget"... you know what I mean? ------------------ RF-3's : mains RC-3 : center RS-3's : surrounds KSW-12: subwoofer Receiver: Denon 2801 DVD: Panasonic DVD-A120 CD: Yamaha CDC-765 Cables: Tributaries Sat Receiver: Hughes Direct-TV DD5.1 ------------------------- Family room: RB-5's (Mahogony) Receiver: Denon AVR-2000 (2ch.)
