RHopper Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 If you put 1 sws behind you with only the rear speaker passthrough and 1 in front with only the front and possibly center passthrough, would you have surround subs? I have the ultras and a sws on the way that I am going to give it a try with just the rear pass on it and if this works I might get one more for just the front. Just an idea though,,,, any thoughts??

GooseChaser Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 No. http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=43439&sessionID={991D1AC7-A78D-42C4-A56A-37F10365CADE}/ The SWS doesn't play high enough frequency to give you that effect and the ultra subwoofer will still give you the problem. The ultra subwoofer plays up to 120hz-140hz so there's a problem with localization.(pretty low for multimedia system) For example, a rocket misses you in a game and you hear it fly behind you(satellites) but the explosion is heard from the direction of the subwoofer(people usually have it in front). This can't be helped unless you use a 4.2 (2.1 times two) setup or put together a receiver and bookshelf speakers that can handle down to 60-50hz and a subwoofer to do below 60hz.

jackson_ngo Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 a good placement of subwoofer does not allow u to hear where the sub woofer is placed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor189 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 With multimedia subs that play higher frequencies, I don't see how that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackson_ngo Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 my cousin who is using the Altec 621 had his sub corner loaded. when sitting in front of the pc, u can't hear where the bass is coming at all. the bass blend with the sats very well, i used to own the 621 too, but my sub can't blend with the sats at all when i placed it under my desk. u can hear it clearly when the sub cuts in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
