Help finding a subwoofer


I want a subwoofer that meets the following criteria.

1. 12 inch driver max size. Or 8 inch driver plus passive driver. Or 10 inches driver.

2. Android or IPhone or iPad app to change settings anytime I want.

3. Speaker high level inputs.

Please if you know any let me know.

System is for music primarily movies completely secondary. I really have two systems that can use the sub(s). Main drivers do not go low. On set is Cain and Cain single Ben with Fostex 8 inch driver. the other Martin Logan Motion 15, these are nice small speakers that Are not expensive.

Thanks for your contributions

You should use line level input, roll the bottom from the mains. This will increase level available from the mains and make integration easier.

Martin Logan Dynamo also have Anthem Room Correction with optional mic.

Many subs == even, NOT Accurate, low end. Two subs near the mains provide the most convincing soundstage

 

The SVS  sb 4000 is a smaller brother to their ultra 12 it’s a13 inch driver but smaller form factor sealed box , it’s very fast and articulate much better then the very good 3000 and great app that has great flexibility 

and free shipping and45 day to try if not to your liking ,they even pay return shipping ,5 year warranty  who else offers all that ?

Do the micro. 8+8 is much larger than 1x12. You will only notice the extension limit on < 1% of recordings.

Get more than 1 unless you enjoy bass room nodes.

I use two SVS SB-1000 Pro's in my system. The app is really convenient. They have speaker level inputs.

I was very attracted to the iphone control of the SVS subs.  But I feel the REL Carbon Specials sounded much better for music.  It does take a bit of up and down adjustments to get them dialed in, but then you forget where they even are.

They go now used for more than I paid new.

My 18" subwoofer was as easy to tonally integrate as the two 12" and the 10."

Using all four subs in the same room essentially eliminated the rooms bass modes and reduced the demand of a single sub. The two crawl test located 12s subs eliminated all but one bass mode in an unused corner of my room. A single located sub should sound fine at the listening position. Your results may vary.

There is no SUBstitute, welcome to the deep end.  

 

check the Martin Logan Dynamo series.  tight punchy subs that fly under the radar of the SVS / REL big names but are worthy nonetheless.  

high level inputs and the downloadable app has versatile controls with a multitude of adjustments including crossover, continuous phase, slope, etc.  the app is also intuitive to use and you can control multiple subwoofers if you choose.  

Kota1 thanks I would love to have two smaller subs, I just do not want to close the door to the other options. Also for transportation is great which is actually a high priority for me.

thanks for your reply, I have thought of two micro 300.s but I am hesitant because they do not feature high level inputs.

I really enjoy SVS subwoofers for the price. Perhaps the SVS SB-2000 or SVS SB-3000 Micro might fit your needs. The app flexibility is truly wonderful and. Delight to use for easy integration with the rest of the room and system.
