akdave Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This is an exciting day for me, I ordered home theater speakers from my local dealer today. (finally!!) RF 7II's, RC 64, and RS 62 II surrounds. I read a lot on this forum and have only ever posted one other time. Thank you for the knowledge you all share it has been huge in my decision process! My next question is the sub. I'm looking at the SW-310 and/or the SW-112. Can anyone help me who has experience between the two? Lastly, I currently own the RW 10-d and was thinking of using it for a second sub. (maybe back of the room) I'm looking for pros and cons of this also. Thank you all in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitedemo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 sw-310 FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 24Hz-120Hz ± 3dB MAX ACOUSTIC OUTPUT: 116dB @ 30Hz sw-112 FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 26Hz-120Hz ± 3dB MAX ACOUSTIC OUTPUT: 116dB @ 30Hz your klipsch rw10d FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 28-120Hz +/-3dB MAXIMUM ACOUSTIC OUTPUT: 112dB @ 30Hz very little difference between the 3 in terms of capability Congrats on the purchase of the awesome new speakers....There really isn't enough difference between these subs to make it worthwhile, and under normal circumstances I won't recommend any of them. Under this circumstance I can say this, give your new sweet setup a real brute of a sub to match your slick top tier speakers. I wouldn't go with anything less than a sw-115 so that you can at least get some sub 20hz rumble and keep up with the rest of your setup, my suggestion is sell the rw10d for whatever you can and get a sw115 or greater sub, if you haven't allowed a good budget for the sub yet my suggestion then is to save and wait sw-115 FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 18Hz-150Hz ± 3dB MAX ACOUSTIC OUTPUT: 121dB @ 30Hz 1/8 space, 1m epik, ed, hsu, svs, rythmik are a bunch of internet direct companies that can give you a huge bang for your buck as well when looking into subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 +1 elitedemo. I have owned many subs, and internet direct subs are really good subs and an even better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshjp Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thats why i purched the Epik from you, great sub, for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks, great feedback! There is a deal going on Klipsch subs at my dealer so I'll have to consider the 115, good opportunity and I'm in Alaska where shipping can chew at the budget.

ivanhurd Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have the SW-115 and it's pretty darn good =^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The SW 115 is a really sweet sub and if the price is right go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks for the feedback derrick. My goal is for clean, tight bass, but there has to be some rumble in the movies too. If the RF7II's can hit 30Hz, then it would make sense to go for a sub that's going to descend well below that. My dealer can order that for me so I won't have to cover the shipping I would on some of the internet direct subs. (And like I mentioned - they have a sale going right now as well...) The SW 115 may be moving to the front of the line. The sub has been my sticking point for this whole set up from the get go. I really wish they made a SW 312! I appreciate all of your responses.

akdave Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 And the SW 115 is on the way! Elited thanks for laying out the specs so clearly that helped a lot. This will be a far cry from my first HT sub which was a DCM 1515. I know - it was awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 that's a good buy... welcome to the 115 club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a far cry from my first HT sub which was a DCM 1515. I know - it was awful! your welcome, and hopefully you enjoy it, its always easier to see everything side by side (I always just open up new ie tabs and compare side by side from there) this sub should be a sweet difference from the 10d (I've had 10d's and 12d's in my setup already testing for myself and others) I doubt you'll be disappointed [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Awesome. I'm sure you'll like the 115. I want to get a second one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Awesome. I'm sure you'll like the 115. I want to get a second one! well if you get a second 15 incher... that means I have to get a second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Ha ha, I'm definitely going to. I'm just not sure when it's going to happen. I have to save my allowance so it may take 2-3 months since I don't think I can talk my wife into letting me use our shared funds for another sub that I really don't *need* =^P And yes, my wife has an allowance too. I had to set it up that way so she would stop spending so much, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I may even end up trying out the wireless thing for the sw-115 as I don't want to cut any more holes in the walls, and I would have to run a wire directly thru a walkway...although looking at it I may have just come up with a solution since there is a kid gate there I could run it along the bottom bar of that, ha!

n8g Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Awesome. I'm sure you'll like the 115. I want to get a second one! well if you get a second 15 incher... that means I have to get a second one.

Schu Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 whos got the best deal... I just might do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I'm hoping my local guy will hook me up @ $600 again. I don't see why he wouldn't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 If I could find one locally for that price I would have done it already... Mine was $700 shipped because he only had one, and the best I can find now is about $850'ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
