rennoc442 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ok so I have been thinking of getting a pair of KPT-484's, but got some questions. First, my system setup: Yamaha RX-V1500, Carver M-500 powering a pair of KLF-30's, Heresy II center, and RS-10 Surrounds (I know not ideal), and a RSW-15 filling in the low end. So, If I were to get one, or two 484's, how would I hook it up? I was thinking of using the M-500 to run either one or both of the 484's that would be bad *** I think, having 5.2! But not sure about my Yamaha on the controling end of the subs. Would the onboard crossover be enough to really make this work? I thought about going with this kind of crossover, but is it too much for what I want to do? http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/DCX2496.aspx I just need a simple crossover, kind of like what I had in my car. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_20603KX2/Kicker-KX2.html?search=car+crossover I see the specs on the Klipsch site, says it only digs down to 40hz. http://www.klipsch.com/kpt-484 While my RSW-15 gets down loooooww, 19hz. http://www.klipsch.com/rsw-15-subwoofer So am I crazy for wanting more bass? BTW This setup is mainly for movies, and some music but never really needed the sub for music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 yes, this one digs lower, RSW-15 gets down loooooww, 19hz. http://www.klipsch.com/rsw-15-subwoofer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Its hard to imagine a 18 inch woofer only gets down to 40hz [] Somethings got to give, they use these subs in theaters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 youd be surprised. theaters are about getting LOUD in a large space..not so worried about getting low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 So I guess the question is, would I be happier with those big 18's, or just stay with my RSW, and hope to find another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
