Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?


Subwoofers are a thing.  A thing to love.  A thing to avoid.  A misunderstood thing.  

What are your opinions on subwoofers?  What did you learn and how did you learn it?

@erik_squires,

In my own situation, I really really don’t want to be moving a sub 6" 12 times to compare and measure. I have about 2 locations where this 100lb beast can go, and I’m going to put it there and EQ it and call it done. :)

I love my 2 PSA 1801 subs but am really tired of moving the equivalent of 2 fully stocked refrigerators every time I want to try different placements for ’sound checks’ when I have to do the ’sub crawl’. And for some reason, I’ve tired of having to look at those beasts all the time.

Not to mention sub placement is very limited - and I’ve made my mind up to upgrade/downgrade to 4 of the smallest active/powered PSA subs for - better sound and much more choices of placement. And PSA will, take PSA trade ins/upgrades and or downgrades.

Morel 10", which are a nominal 8 ohms each. With four subs and two amps you can get a total 4, 8 or 16 ohms simply by changing the way they are connected to the amp(s).

Will a Y cable with 1 male/2 female RCA jacks in both the left and right sub outs (pre outs) give me 16 ohms? I assume probably not cause it sounds to simple and easy to do! Maybe 8 ohms might work for me? 

Anyway thanks for posting, as last time I was privy to your knowledge on this very issue it got a little ’Eh hem!’ heated but your sharing of this information to me - is the reason for the season... And I did take your advice and read the papers by Geddes. By the way I’m in metro Atlanta, you still in the ATL?
