TheEAR Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Just to tell you vaillant subjects I tripped on my SPL1000 and almost fell on the Revel My face almost damaged the finish of the Revel Nothing to see move along... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoker Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I always wanted to ask this question. How many sub's do you have active during movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Ask and it will be answered To start with my main PC system I use the ProMedia 5.1Ultra speakers from the SWS link I feed the signal to a Reel SW810 and 1215. My Klipsch HT system(quad RF7's,RC7 and RF5's as side sourrounds)uses three Klipsch RSW(10,12 and 15),two carver KS subs,and three Sunfire units(S Jr.,Mark II and Sig.) plus two PolkAudio units(PSW404 and 505).yes all working as ONE. No lack of bass in LOTR that is a sure thing...all in a 10'*14' room! SHAKING EXPERIENCE The main system gets a helping hand from the Velo HGS18,Revel B15,Aerial SW12 and the newest addition the moderate Paradigm Servo Sig. BIG DEEP BASS to drown a human...even an Elf And last my second PC uses the Creative GigaWorks S750 with a Velo SPL1000(in the main room with the big system),the third PC the MegaWorks 510D with a Paradigm PW2200(first revision,I got second hand cheap ).Plus I have nearly a dozen PC speaker sets,just in case some would fail. I wanted to add more subs,maybe a few SVS...and the paradigm Seismic 10 and 12.Who knows how many more I will buy heh audio is alot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiob Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I noticed you have a paradigm servo, What are you useing for a crossover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 No its not the Paradigm Servo 15,its the Servo Signature.I had the Servo 15 a few years back,sold now I have the X30 crossover from it doing...split/gain duty for my subs in the Klipsch system. There will be an improved Servo 15 from Paradigm soon,same 1200W RMS amp as used in the Seismic and Servo Sig.!And improved woofer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerbee_vr6 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I'll give you five dollars for one decent picture where we can see the whole room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I would think that 10 subs in a 1,100 cu/ft room would lead to some serious cancellation.(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id also like to see a pic of this seeing IS believing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subs won't start cancelling each other out until more than one is on. The only way to avoid cancellation w/ that many subs is to have several in a few select locations. Then measurements must be done while different combinations are playing to properly adjust the phase to reduce the cancellations.

IndyKlipschFan Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Do I hear a hint of we do not trust that you have all these subs ear? LOL I have seen a lot of pics in my mind off and on in the Klipsch BB of your system, so I can say you do have what you do say you do. So fear not, fellow BB members, TheEar does speak from experience!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomartic Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 It's cool that you can vouch for theEar and I too believe him. Why would someone lie on here anyway, try to show off to people you don't really know? Seems unreasonable. Anyway, it would be cool to see all those subs in his HT room, so a pic would be nice. Maybe set a precedent for the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 the ear has 6479 posts.... If he was lying we would have figured it out some time ago. You can't BS your way for that long with no proof of knowledge.. Ok Maybe if your John Kerry..(Sorry, I could not resist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 Cancellation,yes if you are a newbie and do not know what the PHASE on each sub serves. Me a liar! I am not a politician thank you,mind you I could be one.And why would I claim to have all these subs? You can have 100 subs in a room and all working as a team,only start ups do not know this.You disapoint me people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yromj Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I posted that to try to point out that you can't simply drop a sub in each corner of the room and turn them on and have unbelievable bass. I always assumed that your room was not done this way. Have you ever run an RTA on your room? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfogg Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 "yes if you are a newbie and do not know what the PHASE on each sub serves. " Only works if all the subs are located very closly together, which has other negatives relating to the perception of bass. Otherwise you are adjusting the relative phase between the subs to specific listening positions. If you move the listening position to another location you change the distance between the listener and the subs. That changes the phase between them as well. If they aren't all located together how do you time align that many subwoofers (which ends up also effecting phase) to your main listening position? Do all the subs have limiters on them? Since you have such a hodge podge of models (with varying output capabilities) if some of the subs get driven to distortion earlier then others that will be mucking up your resulting sound quality as distortion in the bass range is very audible. If each sub has a good limiter on it to keep each and every one from being driven to distort that might not be much of an issue though.

sfogg Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 "Have you ever run an RTA on your room?" I was wondering the same thing... at at least 1/24 octave preceision. Also be interesting to see a time domain measurement of the setup from ETF or something similiar to look at resonances. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
