More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music

Also they both seem to reduce vibration to the floor.  I wonder by reducing that, will it also reduce vibration to the wall.   Do you have any suggestion on reducing vibration to the wall behind and to the side of my subwoofer?  Would acoustic panel or bass trap help?

   

What about THE GRs OB, are you interested in good bass that won't threaten your neighbors sanity, and the same floor space or smaller?Look into it.. It works very well. Room treatment, and again sub lite outside, pretty punchy inside...Works very well. Not a sealed unit. It pressures the room from both sides of the cone..Harmonics are less of an issue..

If you have the floor space for one unit, then go up UP U P!!

Position as good as you can, treat as much as you can stand, without being yelled at. and go UP... A Column, a stack, hung from the rafters.
If you get them swinging, who know what you might hear.. Whole new craze, SWINGING bass, not swarming...LOL

which in some cases is clearly wrong.

I took a paragraph to explain what you did in a chapter.

I'm getting better.  or am I? LOL

But I like "Lemon Haze", the Haze brothers, THC Titans for sure.


I'm with Eric in a lot of this. Squat, grunt ,and crap out another sub/unit, anywhere works!!  It my work but sure muddies the waters for me..

It may improve the SQ of that system, but I question where that system was before swarm/DBA.  

I can honestly say, my old way is better, not by a small margin either.
Less distortion, and far more directed. I don't want BASS everywhere, I want it at the listening position(S) not everywhere in the house and the room for that matter..Control that sh#t.. get rid of it, don't make it..

Have any of you measured the bass distortion with these swarm rich environment. It's gotta be off the chart, unless it's all digital. What's the fun in that, anyone can do that. There is a trick or two though., and NO digital correction.

I have 6 units, usually 2 bass columns and one or two sub units, if at all. Sometimes when the kids are over, I'll flip off the columns and used the 4 lowriders, KID stuff, BIG BOOM, in the ROOM..local PD has been here to give it a listen..LOL, they all like it too, bunch of kids, too from what I see.

You know I read your question again. What about a single double 8" or 12" OB  servo, like GR Research.  That would fit the bill of purest, a little better.  The H or W frames pressure the room in a way that's not near as intrusive as a conventional bass systems They can reach an honest 20hz, if the signal is there, though. A cleaner, more precise bass.  Maybe purest, can also mean "The Bass lite crowd", not everyone need heart stopping bass, ay?
