Potential subwoofer purchase-a few Q’s


I feel like I’m going to go with Rythmik for subs. I will eventually add another.

i find lots of love for the F12 in my searches but what about the L12 or F12 300? I could possibly squeeze 2 L12’s In at once otherwise the 2nd would have to wait until later in the year.

the entire room is 28’ x 13’, the speakers are on half the long wall shooting across the short wall. The Pinnacle 10” sub I dropped in for fun next to the listening seat adds a lot to the sound so I think replacing with a better sub, then adding a 2nd would be a smart idea.

Thoughts on these?

Jollygreen, the Descent subs are long discontinued. The New ones are called Balance Force. They are no longer servo driven and room control is an optional extra. The balanced force design is brilliant. It does keep the cabinet from shaking but contrary to the marketing does not reduce cabinet resonance. A very stiff enclosure made from acoustically inert material does that. The amplifiers are relatively standard class D affairs. They are inexpensive and efficient but I prefer AB amps with damping factor over 500 sound wise, which unfortunately means passive subs and out board amps but 40 years ago that was all we had.  
Millercarbon, now you know I use 4 subwoofers but with a smaller system two subs can work fine but two subs is the minimum. I used a two sub system for years until I graduated to line source speakers then two was not enough to match the power projection of the speakers. I did not know the acoustical benefit of multiple subs in terms of minimizing standing waves.
