merkin Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I just ordered a PB12/2 ultra b-stock! Will the mortar stay in my foundation?, Will I scare the neighbors cat? Do I need to duct tape down all the dishes in the cupboard? Will the wife leave me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Way to go merkin (that name still cracks me up!). Good to see you finally took the plunge. Keep us posted as to your thoughts. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Why not a Klipsch Product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkin Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 I looked long and hard at the RSW 15. By the specs it didn't dig quite as deep. I have 4 forte II's that are sppuse to roll off around 30-35. The RSW by the sheets is also suppose to roll off around 30 maybe upper 20's. That's why I went SVS. I have nothing against the klipsch sub and if I was only going for musical I would have definitly gone RSW 15. I may start looking for a used RSW 12 or RW 12 for my upstairs system also. I have a quintet systen in my family room up stairs. Hey does anyone have suggestions on subwoofer cable. I'm kind of the breed that believes wire is wire. I use Home Depot wire 12 gauge for my speakers. Is the cheap stuff at Best buy or Radio shack worth it. I'm not a big fan of paying monster cable prices for just wire. Maybe it does make a difference in subwoofer cables. I'll probably need about 10-15 feet by the time I hide it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Any decent RCA will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew in the desert Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Merkin, I have a 5 meter Better Cables Silver Serpent that I no longer need. I relocated my sub, so I needed to go with a longer cable. I'd be willing to send it to you for $20/including shipping. PM me if interested.

SteelerFan Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Your wife will probably buy you a dustpan and broom for your next BD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkin Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Steelerfan I already do the cleaning and cooking. My wife is an Ob/Gyn so she supports me in the manner of which I want to become acustom. I'm pretyy much mister Mom and work a little part time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Nice choice, there Merkin. Too much sub is OK - you can turn it down if you need to. I think of subs much like I do amplifiers.....it's good to have "that extra" you usually do not use...especially with Klipsch....things stay cleaner that way.

merkin Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yes plenty of sub. I didn't want to feel like upgrading for a long time. I'm sure I can turn it down enough that it won't overpower everything else. Hopefully it will also give me plenty of punch above 20hz.

TheEAR Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Yes the wife may leave you and marry a B4-Plus. And no the foundation will not collapse unless you live in one of those wooden shacks tornados carry with them swirling high in the air.

nicholtl Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I have that sub and it rocks my teeth like I was a grandpa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
