RSW12 and 15 must hit hard and provide quite a punch in movies.Great choice TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 steven, i'd put the 2 subs in same spot & set crossovers & phase the same on each or where they sound best. only reason i'd do the crossover is because though yammy uses the idiotic 90hz fixed crossover i think they has sense enough to give you a contol that sends lfe to both fronts & sub (though i suspect what it really does is send low bass to both (not LFE)). anyway keep experimenting & tweaking to reach bass perfection. m00n, so you can tell a dif already? ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 I definitly felt more air moving around. I was just blown away at how I could feel the sound waves in the room. I watched The Phantom Menace. The scene were the Jedi first get down to the planet where they first meet Jar Jar binks, well when those toop carrier ships go over head, WOW, that was just amizing. There is so much subwoofer that it's almost a wastfull shame. I had to turn both volume dials down about the 1:00 position on the subs because the subwoofer was just overpowering everything else. I have to play around with some things and figure out what sounds best. I set all my speakers to small and set the crossover at 80Hz. However, doing so almost left me with the feeling that I was missing some midrange. I think I just need to get used to it maybe because I had always had my speakers set to large. ------------------ m00nsCinema to be m00ns current toys FRONTS: RF-7 CENTER: RC-7 SURROUNDS: RS-7 REAR: RC-7 SUB: RSW-12 / RSW-15 RECEIVER: Harman Kardon AVR 520 AMPLIFIER: Harman kardon PA4000 DVD: Harman Kardon DVD-50(DD, DTS) VIDEO: InFocus ScreenPlay DLP Projector COMPUTER: ProMedia 4.1 c>Microsoft XBOX with Monster cable for that 5.1 Dolby Digitial surroundc> f> This message has been edited by m00n on 09-23-2002 at 11:06 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 I am trying to think of something OTHER than explosions that has some good bass in it. Other than the pod race. Oh... I know I still have my netflix copy of Lord of the Rings. ------------------ m00nsCinema to be m00ns current toys FRONTS: RF-7 CENTER: RC-7 SURROUNDS: RS-7 REAR: RC-7 SUB: RSW-12 / RSW-15 RECEIVER: Harman Kardon AVR 520 AMPLIFIER: Harman kardon PA4000 DVD: Harman Kardon DVD-50(DD, DTS) VIDEO: InFocus ScreenPlay DLP Projector COMPUTER: ProMedia 4.1 c>Microsoft XBOX with Monster cable for that 5.1 Dolby Digitial surroundc> f> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesey Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Partly out of curiosity, yes. The RSW-15 and the RSW-12 have slightly different response signatures, so it will be interesting to see how much difference there is with ht/music. Together they can mate very well even so as you have witnessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipguy Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 i can relate moon, i also have a RSW-15 plus my mains are KSP 400'S with built in powered 15" subs in each , BOOOOOM !! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted September 26, 2002 Author Share Posted September 26, 2002 jonesey ya, I have to admit that I was a bit worried about that. Not that I am in any way shape or form a audiofile or anything, but, I had concerns about the fact that they were different size drivers... However, they seem to sound good so far. But I am going to try it without the 12 and see how it sounds.... Just can't right now...

m00n Posted September 27, 2002 Author Share Posted September 27, 2002 So the wife and tator tots were not home yet when I got home. Gave me a chance to go thump on the boom cubes for a few minutes... Don't ever let anyone tell you anything that the RSW-15 is anything less than spectular.... My cheaks were giggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
