Mmmm Crow tastes good...

So I have been anti subwoofer. And now I’m getting the hype (and maybe the vapors too).

I’m off all this week and remembered a crusty old subwoofer stashed in the dankest corner of my closet. Since the Quicksilver preamp I got a couple of months ago had a 2nd set of outputs I decided to put it on play.

this is a Pinnacle sub, 10” and 200 watts. I think I paid $129 on amazon a few years ago for home the water. Ironically it’s a sealed box implementation.

after a couple of hours of messing with it I think I have it fairly well integrated. I’ll have to make sure it’s not killing my neighbors. It’s not an audiophile sub but it really does add to the enjoyment of my patchwork system.

I do notice that, as with my stand mounts, there less bass at my siting position vs standing in the same spot. So I’ll have to figure out what’s going on with that.

But yeah, assuming I’m not blowing out my neighbors I’ll sincerely consider 2 good subs.

A. Apartment living. Though I live in the ground floor I’m sure my upstairs neighbor is getting it.
I suspect that killing the standing waves will also prevent them from being obvious in other's living spaces. A distributed bass array is certainly worth a try.

A standing wave is set up when the reflected wave is in phase with the incoming wave. Another way to describe this is 'superposition'.  The two waves re-enforce, so you get a big wave in one area, and none in another. That big wave is far more likely to be able to move about the building.
