The Dome Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 I currently have a boston pv600 subwoofer. It has a 120 watt downfiring 10 inch woofer. I really like it for the most part. I would like to get a little louder and deeper sound though. I was thinking about steping up to the pv800 which has a 300 watt downfiring 12. I have read though that the pv800 is louder, but it doesn't get much lower and you sacrifice some of the tightness of the smaller 10 in the pv600. I haven't had a chance to demo the pv800 yet. Then someone suggested that I get another pv600 to compliment the one that I have got. My question lies in this: If I were to get another pv600 how would I position the two of them, opposite sides of the room? Also, would the combination audibly sound deeper? And how would I wire it, a splitter out of the subwoofer line out? If I use a splitter would the signal strength be cut in half requireing me to up the volume on the subs amps? I would want to use the sub out to maintain my 5.1 channel capability. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I use my system for both music and movies, mostly music though.

I've been thinking about something like that, leaning heavily toward SACD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 dome, probably best to stack 'em in the optimum of the room (probably near a front corner). & yea just split the signal to both subs. no need to worry - it's only a weaker preamp signal. the subs take that from there for the real amplification. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!
