substance-p Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I am finalizing the built in unit that will house my system in our family media room. I have two rsw-10ds I'd like to use; however, the space for them would only be 20" deep. I wondered how well these do with only 3-4" clearing in the back between the sub and wall. I could use my 15" jamo d7 without a rear passive woofer (which I assume would be fine [better?] near/against a wall); however I only have one of those and the overall dimensions would shape the built-in design more than I would like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) It "could" get a bit boomy but worth a shot. You could also try it with the active facing out in the room. Bill Edited December 23, 2014 by willland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 As Bill said, give it a try. All of my subs are very close to the wall and the bass is not boomy. Autocalibratiion or auto-EQ should adjust for some placement issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substance-p Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thanks Bill and Derrick. As you can imagine WAF is key in this shared room. So, having the subs placed in the unit is helpful. There won't be a door or cover over them, so they could pulled out a little bit into the room if the bass sounded too sloppy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Now I will tell you this, dual RSW10d's are fantastic for music and are marginally good for HT providing you are not trying to reach the depths with impact. If it is possible to incorporate your Jamo 15", give it a try. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substance-p Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 The room will probably be 2/3rds to 3/4ths over the air programming and 1/4th HT. My wife is not a bass fan, so I'm probably watching 3 movies a year by myself where I can crank it. The d7 is a great sub, but I think placement and equalizing with the 2 10ds may be tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
