miliellie111 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Which sub would you recommend in this size room placed directly behind the couch? Will be pairing with RF7’s. R-112SW or R-115SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 15, 2017 15” Sub for sure with RF-7’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The 15" is a big yes from me! I just added a vintage Velodyne F-1500-R to my new RP-280F and it adds the lower octave to the towers nicely..... Doubles for the point one with SACDs and movies too.. I would put it at the FRONT wall, not behind.... You will detect it when in the rear behind your seating position.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzog Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 15. You can fit it without and issue and it goes much deeper than the 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Can't see enough of the room but, the 15 will do everything the 12 will and have some reserve if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Your room looks wide enough for two 15s Somebody was bound to say it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 15" sub behind the couch would help to fill out the room nicely. When set up properly you won't even hear the sub directly, you'll just have more solid bass seemingly coming from the L/C/R, and more dynamics off the low end. I have a DIY 15" sealed sub behind my couch. Mine is against the wall and firing into the center of the room perpendicular to the speakers' orientation.

On that front wall, there will be no space for it because the RF'7s will go there. I'll post another pick of the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The 15 just digs significantly deeper than the 12. You can make a 12 that makes it to 17 hz but the R-112SW isn't one of them. The 15 is the only way to fly for home theater unless the footprint and budget are restrictive. Outside of that there's no reason to not go with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Doesn't look any narrower than my room and I've got four 15s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2017 My room is 13’ x 19’ and I only have eleven 15’s in my room. LOL. Ok they aren’t all subs but I do have eleven 15’s in the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2017 The bigger the sub and the more you have, the less they have to work which yields a cleaner sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Crown amp has LEDs indicating output and the subs have some serious slam before the first light even illuminates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted December 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2017 Man I love helping people spend their money. LOL. Congrats. I don't think you will regret at all going with a 15". I went from a 10" to a 15" and every since then, I have always owned 15" subs. Heard a Velodyne DD12 and wasn't impressed as much as my Velodyne HGS15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
