I have a sub system that was not very popular when released 30-ish years ago, the Hsu Research TN 1225/Model 500 amp. Dr. Hsu is a passionate engineer for subwoofers. This passive system has the 500 watt amp that can run two of the 12in drivers in parallel. They are a cylindrical tube with basically that 12in footprint so makes placement fairly easy. Only needing to run a speaker wire also helps matters. I was able to integrate these with my Wilson Sophia running full range beautifully. I have the subs cut off at 43Hz and they are 100% invisible, one in the front to the left and one behind to the right. This was the only position I had and thankfully worked. My room is the front room of my house so very limiting on placement. Not sure if any mfg offers a similar passive system nowadays but this design has really worked well for musical bass with zero boom that I have heard so much from traditional powered boxes.
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
For those of us with subwoofers, I'm curious whether you thought integrating it was easy or difficult. That's it.
Of course, lots of DBA people will chime in. No problem but please ask that everyone stay on topic. If you want to discuss all the pro's and cons of DBA take it to a brand new thread. Thank you.
The focus here is just to ask how many people had easy or difficult times and what you thought was the difference.
