Dylanl Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Would it be Veloydne, SVS or other? I have dual subs with the potential of 2 more. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's hard to say without knowing the conditions underwhich it will be used. Room size, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If you had to choose one EQ Sub unit which would you and why?If it were me and I wanted to use direct-radiating subs, I'd use the same model and make of sub all the way around in order to match group delay curves. Otherwise, it's just like listening to stereo (i.e., two channel) using two different types of speakers, one type for the left and a different type for the right. This wouldn't be my preference [] Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wouldn't be my preference Chris I think he was looking for EQ suggestions like BFD or minidsp. Your comment about similar subs is duly noted.

Chris A Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 My apologies... I didn't read. By the way, I use a Crown XTi-1000 power amplifier to do the EQing to my tapped horn subs - you get a lot of power (1KW strapped into 8 Ohms) and full built-in DSP - which is even more capable than my EV Dx38 speaker processors in terms of the steepness and type of the digital crossover filters. The price is good. However, it doesn't have Audyssey in-room closed loop EQing, however - that part is extra. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8g Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 To answer the OP's question...I have a Velodyne DEQ-12r which was replaced by the EQ-Max series. The specs are very similar. I have heard the 10" EQ-Max and it sounded very similar to my 12". I have been very pleased with the performance of the Velodyne. Letting it figure out phase and EQ made a positive difference in the sound in my room. I did not have the option of putting the sub where it sounded best. Rather, I had to put it where it looked best in the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdmundGTP Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Honestly, the cost to feature ratio of the Behringer Feedback Destroyer is almost impossible to beat.. Period.. It has dual channels, so right off the bat you have the ability to EQ 2 subs independently with a single unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is there's a bit of a learning curve to using it. At least there was for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If you can find a used SVS AS-EQ1 or Audyssey SUB-EQ [Y] In time saved fussing with setup and consistency of the end result, they are truly worth every penny. Hands down. To get the most out of other options you need to be really savvy with REW or the like, and that route is not everyone's cup of tea.
