willland Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 If you could get your hands on an RSW-10d or RSW10, I think you would be very pleased with the combination. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBPK402 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 no budget really,would two smaller subs be better than one large sub ? IMO, multiple subs will be better than a single sub for smoothing. I ran 5 subs years ago that were like $100 each and it sounded great even though it didn't go as deep as a $500 sub would have. My current setup is 2 subs (not hooked up yet as the HT is still under construction though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 no budget really,would two smaller subs be better than one large sub ? There's a lot of variables to that question so the answer would have to be "maybe but not always". You'd have to list specific subs. As a rule, a single is easier to set up than duals. Duals can even out room issues OR decrease bass with phase issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie834 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I like the idea of two small subs such as klipsch sw350,as I have never had a sub before dose it get its signal from the pre amp main output ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hooked mine up to the sub out jack... What I did was hook up one sub and set my levels (from the back of the sub), then I unplugged that sub and plugged in another sub and set the levels on that one. I did this on each sub separately and the I used "Y" connectors to hook them all up. Once they were all hooked up I set my level with my AVP to the desired level. You can use a simple SPL meter to set them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougie834 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 my per amp hasnt got a sub or extra output so what would i do to connect a sub ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) my per amp hasnt got a sub or extra output so what would i do to connect a sub ? What are you driving your Heresys with? I drive my Heresys with an Integra DTM-40.4 receiver in a 13ft x 13ft room. What my system is not lacking is the kick in the chest impact/attack of the kick drum. From my understanding the kick drum ranges in frequency fro 60Hz to about 3000kHz. I do not use a sub in this system even though the Integra does have subwoofer preouts.

dougie834 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 im driving them with a dnm 3c pre into audio research vs110 power,there is plenty of punch to the sound but would like to fill the bottom end out a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You mentioned "no budget really". What could you spend? If you have a reasonable chunk of change to throw around, I would suggest this. http://www.svsound.com/subwoofers/sealed-box/SB13-Ultra#.UzCkPs7zRIA The SB13 Ultra is a wonderfully musical sub that also has a high pass setting for preamps/integrated amps without subwoofer preouts.

CECAA850 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 my per amp hasnt got a sub or extra output so what would i do to connect a sub ? Use a sub that has an amp that accepts high level (speaker wire) inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Now we are spending some change, lol. To the OP, if you have a smaller listening area for one or two people, one sub between the mains may do what you need. If the room is larger or also for HT, multiple subs are the way to go. The SVS sub above is a really nice sub and would prevent future upgrades.

Scrappydue Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 If you have just one listening position I would spend my money on one nice sub. I am gonna guess the sb-13 is gonna be more than you are gonna want to spend. You could maybe go with their new sb-2000. Or you could also look into maybe a sub kit from parts express? I recently heard a Dayton kit and one of their box kits and it sounded pretty dang good. It was a sealed 10 and I think he said he spent about 400 on it total.

Scrappydue Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I saw that but not very many people are willing to spend 1500$ on a sub. We are a select few. If there is no budget then why not get a seaton submersive in cherry or whatever color your heresy are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Buy Claude's THT for sale in the garage sale section, you would have to spend 1000's of dollars to get anything near the performance level of the THT and for $500 its a steal of a price.
