synergyfreak Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Running a second sub in new house building because dont have the option of running side surround speakers, already going to be prewired for a second sub. To me right the rf-7's make up for lot of the sounds I was missing out on but since mostly blu rays and 3d movies i watch have more 7.1 soundtracks, the new setup will also have an rc-64, once finished, and in ceiling surrounds.

derrickdj1 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It all depends on the size of the room. A second sub is more for smoothing out the bass response in the room. It will add around 3 db of spl which is not much. If you stack them, it may add around 6 db. Remember, 2 small subs will not dig as deep as a much larger one if you are looking for low frequency extension. There is nothing like being able to move a lot of air for low frequency extension.

synergyfreak Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 i am going from small 14x14 to a 20x20 room, main problem I am running into in small room the rf-7s over power my sub-12, and look at going with 2 sw-115's, already ordered rc-64 for new house, but feel like my 6 year old sub is aging or just need a bigger sub to make for extra power that have now. when had the rf-62's sub sounded perfect with them, not sure if this makes sense.

synergyfreak Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 or even just one real big sub like the sw-311 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I would get two nice 12 in. subs or two 15 in. sub. The high amp power on some of the smaller sub is needed to try and makeup for the small cabinet size. What is your budget and time frame? I use a 12 and 15 inch sub with good results. Unless it is a really bad sub, it should be able to keep up with the 7's if integrated into the system. My subs are not the most expensive but, their performance is top notch considering the their price. One 15 in. Epik Empire as more output than 2 Epik Legend 12 in. subs. So driver size is important.

synergyfreak Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 I really like the epik subs, since new house will be pre-wired for a second sub, a 15 and a 12 would be perfect; I just think my sub-12 is aging and going on 6 years old and is slowly dieing. I really dont want to go over 2k since already had to order rc-64 II for new house since it matches my rf-7s' better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanhurd Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 ^^^HSU? If you can, get 2 of the same subs, not 2 different ones. It will be easier to make it sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 or even just one real big sub like the sw-311The 311 is still a 10" sub, it just has some other stuff built in like room correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synergyfreak Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 just not sure if running two sub 12's will get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Most likely will, but it will also depend on the quality of the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Sw-311 is a joke compared to the others mentioned. Two hsu vtf-15h's would do the trick with power to spare. Two pb-12nsd would keep you under budget. Two sw-115 would keep you way under budget. Or if you didn't have room for duals one pb-13 ultra will dominate. My one was crazy step up over my old rsw-10d's. I only bought a second because I have OCD and one sub looks funny without a buddy on the other side lol.

derrickdj1 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 just not sure if running two sub 12's will get it done Yes they can! I have an open concept floor plan which is quiet large, the family room is roughly 4000 cf. I use a 12 and a 15 in sub and no problems with bass, sometimes more than I like. I am not a bass head but, I can get 110 db at -10 to -13 on the avr in movies at my seat which is not close to the subs/speakers. To be honset, I don't like listening to movies near reference level, just way to loud. The real theater is not that loud, lol. In a multi-channel system you will get some extra spl due to the number of speakers in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synergyfreak Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 thanks scrappy and derrickdj1 my house is prewired for two subs with dimensions setup to hold two sub 12's, which will leave plenty of room is go with two pb 13 ultra;s, the rsw-10d was only ones really liked the most or the rsw series in general just tougher to find two of the same subs.

blake_mooney Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I FULLY recommend you go with the dual HSU MK4's. Two subs is always better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 i think two sw-115's have already been purchased if i remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
