Get one or two used RELs (or a swarm system if you have the space as they're alleged to work) and don't bother with the silliness of limiting the output to the main speakers and just 'em run within their limits. I used a single REL Q150e (10" front firing 150 watts) for a couple of years bought for 200 bucks (used of course...Ebay)...still works perfectly, and added a REL Q108MKII (100 watts down firing 8") later...also 200 bucks. You don't need to do anything but hook 'em to the amp's speaker jacks, and move them around until they sound good to you (putting one in your listening seat is unnecessary, and takes some long cables). Note that good subs add air to the proceedings by sort of "charging" the room and make even bass shy stuff simply sound like real music...it's not just about organ bass notes and EDM (although hey...).
Do I need a sub?
Would I benefit from even a small sub?
Energy rc-70s’
dual 6” woofs, bass is there, but would a sub remove the lowest freq, and give the small drivers a break, and sound better?
would it help,? I play loud once in a while, would the low freq removed from the main tower drivers make a better sound, I don’t think I would need much more than a 10 or 12” sub.
Powered or unpowered?
