D-Rex Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Can I get away with having an RSW-15 subwoofer with RF-35's as my floor speakers? My thoughts are that the subwoofer can be turned down at the receiver and minimized if need be but I wanted to see if anyone had any first hand knowledge. Thanks, D-Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yromj Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Yes, you can do that, because of the very reasons you mentioned. A little overkill can be a good thing. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton10 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I think that would work very, very well. It would be nice to have a subwoofer that never taxes its resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Headroom is amazing to have. And like a lot of people have mentioned, later on or if the urge arizes... You can crank it too, and enjoy it. You can't crank it up, if you don't have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 It's nice to have a big overlap between mains and sub, that way you can tweek the xover point frequency to fit your tastes and speaker placement. Remember that placement of the sub is critical. Same distance from each of two walls in a corner is most bass, along a single wall is medium, pushed out towards center of room is least. ALso the floor material and construction (conc. slab vs wood joists will affect the amount of 'floor shock' you get) Experiment- move all the furniture around and have a good time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I agree. It's good to have the juice in reserve. If you haven't got it you can't use it...good advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
