Sub users...

Thank you all for the great replies. While I have not researched subs, the JL Audio F113 is the one that has my attention. I would be using it to augment the lowest notes as you hint Rives, 30hz'ish and below.

Thanks for the info Shardone, but if I go with a sub it will not be with the Wilson's, but rather Ridge Street Sason's. My bad.

Thanks Bob. In talking with a friend tnight, we concluded I'd probably be crossing over at higher than the 30, closer to 40; all a guesstimate of course.

Another question. I'd be connecting the sub from my preamp. I haven't a clue if I will be able to place the sub close to my system or not, but this may lead to some lengthy IC's. How big a role do the IC's play? A loaded question, I know.

Thanks again to everyone for their great responses.

I have been reading about the JL Audio Fathom F113 and one concern I have is that a couple reviews stated that the F113 lacks a high-pass filter, which can be an issue for two-channel use, unless I use an external x-over, which I do not desire to do.

I have also read a few comments here on AG where users have integrated them fine into their two-channel systems with no extras.

Any thoughts on this?

Shardone, I have read this elsewhere too, can you explain more?

If I used an external x-over I would cut some of the speakers lower end and control the output of the sub? Without the x-over, the speakers perform as normal and I control the upper limit of the sub, and "fill-in" the bottom? I guess I always imagined the speakers running full range and the sub filling in the bottom.

Sorry, I am a sub newbie! I hope I follow. Can you expalin possible negative effects of running the mains full range?

Lastly, if I were to go the external x-over route, does one have to spend a lot of money to get a good x-over?

I very much like what I read about the F113's, specifically using two of them, and desire to go this route. That said, while I want to do it right, cost is a factor.

Shardone, you must have missed my previous post, I will not be using the subs with W/P's, I need to update my page; I will use them with Ridge Street Sason speakers, a stand mount two-way. Thanks, Brian
