Panelhead Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I use active subs. Crossed at 65 or 70 Hz with 6 or 12 dB slope on the low pass filter. Think I like 12 better. But sometimes turn on just the sub and listen. I think the relative importance of subs is overstated. Feel all Klipsch Heritage speakers benefit if supplemented by a good sub. But even sealed subs can output strong bass. Depends on levels listened too. I listen below 100 dB, usually 10dB below, this does not require a sub the size of a deep freezer to fill in the bottom. If playing at rock concert levels a horn loaded sub would be the ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Chris too, except I had the Super Spuds, called DTS-10's and now I have done a 17 cubic foot version of the Gjallarhorn, refolded. It will end up better that 2 DTS-10's in terms of output. PM me and I can send you the plans and cut sheet....................but you'll have to find suitable drivers, unless you make me an offer I can't refuse for mine, since I have so many sub drivers that are in the "monster" category.

You will just need more of them to do what a horn sub will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 1502 really shines at low volumes as well as when cranked up. I told Roy that when purchasing Jubilees the 1502 should just be part of the package. What a difference it makes with the proper tone that is Db independent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretplayer Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Thanks to all that have added their opinions and thoughts here. Mr. wallet is being approached now. In the end it is for me to figure out what I like best. So far that trumps (sorry) all else for me. War Story I better understand now - Circa 1978): I asked the man what he did when he visited any local Hi-Fi Emporium and listened to their offerings.. After some considerable grumblings and snorts he advised: "Always go in and ask to hear (any) applicable cut with a lot of deep bass. After hearing the selection several times upon asking if the sales guy could repeat them over again - they would ask ' 'What are you listening to?' My response was ... I thought I heard a a little of the Fundamental sneaking in there" I can't tell what the correct 25 hz organ pedal note is supposed to sound like in a specific church BUT I do know what I enjoy. It usually involves internal human organ quivering. The man was Paul. My guess at this point is a pair of Jubilees minus the tweeters and a matching set of KPT-1802's - with a lot of speaker cloth. Crossovers are TBD with good advice on set up and type. Special test at Klipsch 1978 in their outdoor anechoic testing area SP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, you don't need a sub to handle the open low string on a P-bass, it's only 41 Hz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretplayer Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 ClaudeJ1: Thought THAT far back would be too much for most folks. Detroiter here. Jamerson #1 - Babbitt #2. NEED a good sub into the low 30's to taste the strings. Quiver you liver below to 20 is even better also. Think 1801 Telarc CD. I'm used to VMPS IIa/Rs. OMG!!!

secretplayer Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 COVID sidetracked many extracurricular adventures in 2020. I certainly was one such. With shots in the arm now I am getting ready to pull the pin on an audition of the Jubs if possible - hopefully close by 40291. VMPS IIa/R's are my current speakers so this may be a tough act to follow in the bottom registers. That why we listen I guess. Ready to audition. Money is burning a hole in my pocket and I need to re-engage my audio jones. Advice on where (now)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
