AaronH Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Spoke with tom and he thinks (obviously) that his PSA's will best dual PC13's. I can sell my PC13 and go dual 3000i's or I can buy another PC13 . Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If you like the PC13, just get another one. How large is your room in ft3? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 First, what size is your room? What exactly are you looking for, high spl, great tactile feel, and how much extension? PSA sell a vente sub for around $500 less that may do the trick. Their spec #'s are from 1m, drop the db number by 9 at 2m and maybe another 5 or 6 for a sitting distance of 10-12 ft. Large room-Vented sub Small room- sealed sub due to room gain Sealed sub needs more power than vented. Most vented subs will be better in the 15 Hz and up area Don't use the PSA exten #.

AaronH Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 24x20 Room. Looking to round out the bass and more of a tactile feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 24x20 Room. Looking to round out the bass and more of a tactile feel. So, approximately 4800ft3 if 10ft ceilings? Is all that space utilized for HT? My multi use room is close to 6000ft3 but maybe only 2500ft3 is being used for HT. One of my four subs(SVS SB13 Plus) is pretty near field(4ft) to my main seating postition so that does help with that "tactile" feel. If your HT area only takes up a portion of that 4800ft3, then maybe twin PC-13U's will be plenty enough to give you that impact you desire. If the entire space is HT, then maybe twin PSA 3000i's would do the trick better. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Vented subs all the way in that large a room if the limit is only two subs. For the price of 2 sealed, You could get 3 ported subs. Forget extension unless you plan on around 8 sealed subs. I have a large space and the saving grace of my system in 4300+ cu ft is the addition of 2 vented subs with my sealed subs. The two vented subs is equal to having at least 4 to 5 more sealed subs in the 15-40 Hz area. That large room will not not get cabin gain before the gears signal chain is dropping out of the picture IMHO. If you can't do 105+ db at the MLP under 15 Hz, then extension is not worth shooting for. Edited May 2, 2015 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 If you sell the ultra let me know. I gotta find a good sub with small footprint since the living room speakers are staying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
