So how many people are using subwoofers

Thanks guys I had pretty much decided on the sub but am somewhat surprised at how many would go with an amp upgrade instead.That being said, I have been looking at the REL storm primarily because the REL and ACI Titan are the only 2 subs that can be connected to 2 channel and 5 channel processor simultaneously. If I understand correctly this is not an option with other subs or am I missing something?

Hello Garfish and others. The Sonatas are rated at 20Hz-28kHz. It's interesting to note that the speakers will go low when fed low. Some recordings make me think that a sub might be too much. However the 2nd generation (Sonata II) were given a 2nd 10" woofer which makes me think that the manufacturer thought they needed a little extra bass. The newer CJ amps supposedly have a better bass response than the older amps and that's why I was wondering if it might be the answer. BTW my MF-2200 is rated @200wpc. The MF-2500 @240wpc so there is not a great difference in power.

Wow! I just stumbled across this. I'm amazed that this thread was picked up after such a long period. If you look, my original post was made 03-21-2002 6:59pm . That's 14 years ago.

Not complaining. But my system has come a long way sincee then. Yet some components remain. I did buy a Rel Storm 3 sometime after I made the initial post. Its done very well. But I just installed hardwood floor and am considering replacing the Rel or adding another to go with it. However, I'm not sure another brand or even another Rel would match up well unless it was another Storm 3. So I've looked at the HSU, The Rythmik, The SVS and the Golden Ear among others. Nontheless, I appreciate the new posts. I'll look them over. Thanks
