Subwoofer for music, how low?


I am looking for a pair of subs for music. I plan on having four if the two can blend with my speakers.

I have the Tekton Double Impact and tomorrow I will get a set of Buchardt S400Mk2.

I have been looking at the REL T/9x but the only go down to 27Hz at -3db. Should a sub not go down to 20Hz?

I live in Denmark so I have fewer options. I really like the swarm sub array but to costly to get it to Denmark.

I am looking for recommendations. It could be DIY or a specific sub.

I am open for suggestions

 

Merry Christmas

Is it aiming to low if I buy for SVS SB1000? There are on sale. Or I could pay some more and buy the new SVS SB 1000 PRO

 

Thanks for the feedback!! I have learnt a lot and would like to thank you all and wish you a happy new year.

 

I would especially like to thank millercarbon, oldhvymec and physics for their out of the box approach to solving the bass problem.

 

My takeaways

  • Room, Power, Bass could not agree more
  • A sub should not excite the floor. So no T9 to me.
  • Servo is good
  • 4 subs are needed to address room modes. Especially in small rooms 

 

This is what I wrote to Rytmik Audio

I am looking for a solution for uneven bass in my room.

 

The room is 26m2 and the walls are thin plasterboard. Wood floor with concrete half a meter under the floor. Ceiling goes from 2.3 to 3.8m

 

I have been looking at getting a bass array like the SWARM but think servo sealed subs is the way to go.

 

This is what I hope I can get from buying 4 F12G

  • A sub array using MiniDSP 2x4 HD. This will be a mono array.
  • Ability to try only two in a stereo setup using high input like on REL.
  • I hope it will be possible to use the plate amps and the drivers to build a GR research dipole sub.
  • I would also like to add the subs to my HT system. So a separate connection to HT and music. Is that possible?

 

As you can see my hope is that I should newer need any other bass solution than I can get from buying four of your subs.

 

Please correct and enlighten me. I have newer owned a sub.

 

I live in Denmark and hope we can find a better price for transportation. I will have to pay 33% on top of the total invoice. That's right also tax on transportation.

Thanks what passive driver are you using. would also like to know more details like cabinet size and driver placement
