stygz Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I recently posted a couple months back when I was building a 3.1 system for my house. See my signature for the equipment I am using. We now have a new house being constructed. The living room will be about the same size BUT more of an open concept than I currently have. My current room volume is about 3900 cubic feet. The new home will have wood floors....I will have to get a rug or two put down. I have already picked up a set of Klipsch CDT-5650-CII for surrounds in the ceiling. My seating position will likely be closer than I currently is (about 12ft). I am either thinking a second SB1000 or a single SB2000. Thoughts? Also can I run dual wireless using the kit from SVS?

gadgtfreek Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 There are good wireless kits from a few places, but I do not know enough to recommend one. Im sure SVS could. As far as single vs dual, since you already have a good sub now I would add a second just like it vs going to one that is more powerful. I have done testing in my home lately and in larger rooms the way duals can smooth out the 20-120hz freq response is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stygz Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 I should clarify that I do have the wireless kit offered by SVS right now. Just wondering if it is possible to run dual subs with duel wireless kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgtfreek Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Not sure on that one. Does it have more than one channel? I guess it would have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Dual subs can be ran wireless. If the room is more open in the new house, there will be more sound lost in the subwoofer band FR. I would get as much wooferage as possible and not plan on symmetrical placement of the subs. If WAF is a major problem, consider transducer if you want to really feel the bass, consider them if you have not experienced them, lol.

Paducah Home Theater Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 At least with the Klipsch you can run two subs with two wireless kits. What's weird though is that you can't just use one transmitter, you have to use two separate transmitters. The transmitter and receiver syncs up with each other somehow. Seems to me that you could just broadcast a radio signal and 10 different receivers could pick it up but that doesn't seem to be the case.

stygz Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 What I notice is that the one pb1000 kind of falls off above moderate listening levels. So it seems dual pb1000 will have more output than a single pb2000. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Duals will have more output. You may get 3 db if they are in different spots in the room and 6 db if they are co-located, i.e. less than 1/4 wavelength apart. To get a real increase in out it goes like this:, 2, 4, 8 and so on. The other way is to get bigger and stronger subs. Wooferage get's expensive and transducer can take the place of adding 3 or 4 more subs.

Scrappydue Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Don't get crazy. Transducers do not take the place of 3-4 subs. Transducers can add to the effect and make a runner experience like you have maybe bigger and a nearfield sub but I can promise you that if you added transducers or 3-4 more pb-1000's the two would be totally different.

derrickdj1 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) They will feel a little different. The PB 1000 is fairly modest and I would go larger rather than adding more small subs. It takes around 105 db to get some good pressure down low with power and unless the subs are nearfield, that will be hard to do with room lost and distance. I don't even give much weight to the 1 meter spec for subs since most of us don't use the subs at 1 meter. The PB 1000 has a 300 watt amp and 10 inch driver, it is a good sub if the expectations are reasonable.
