Is More Better?


I currently have two SVS SB 3000 subs in a system and decided to add two more.

Will the good people who have been there, done that share suggestions to make

the addition of the two subs a little easier for me?  Thanks in advance.

@janewyman, good read see here and here!

A big WOW to both of those articles.   Waaaay over my  head!

These are two pretty good articles that Mike linked for you.

Not to speak for Mike, but the first one, possibly a bit dated, appears to explain why sub to main speaker integration is so critical and the best way to accomplish the job is with an electronic crossover, preferably one with DSP.  I personally agree with this solution.

There are, of course, other ways of doing integration that are simpler and cheaper, but they are also more limiting.

The second article attempts to show how using multiple subs can improve the bass response of your system especially when used with an electronic crossover with DSP.

It also has excerpts from a study by Todd Welti that was devised to determine the optimal amount of subs in a system and the best location for them in a room. The link to the full study results, which may be easier to understand, is the first link that I posted in my first post. (See post #6 above)

There is also a segment in Mike’s second article that talks about how room modeling software can help to determine the best locations for your subs in your room.

There is a lot of good information in the responses above and most of it is fairly similar, so if you are not getting the information you thought you would or were looking for, you may want to re-word your question so we can give you better responses.
