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

I've been wondering if my Main tower speaker with built in powered subs plus my two SVS Ultra 13 subs with upgraded plate amps (more watts and DSP app) will perform like a swarm configuration l love adjusting my subs on the fly from my listening chair I have the SVS isolation feet on my subs and they really help stopping my pictures from rattling off the walls

Yes, that setup should do it. If your bass sounds balanced and natural, you're done. If it sounds slow and overloaded, try moving the stand-alone subs to different parts of the room until it sounds right. You can excite room "modes" if a sub is in the wrong location.

I'm also using the SVS isolation feet on my JBL subs and they really work.  My pictures have stopped rattling and dropping to the floor.

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

 

I believe SVS offers a trial period and a great deal more control options.

The T/9x’s manufacture rating is actually -6db @ 27Hz. Like the many who’ve never experienced a high performance subwoofer that plays equally well with both music and film, have high praise for their products. Every REL sub I’ve auditioned in my home has never come close the manufacturers frequency specifications on their own. They call them "Sub Bass" speakers, or they used to. Good luck with it.

if you go SVS then def the Pro version.

remote adjustments are key to good integration 

i have two svs 1000 pro and apps use REW software and

microphone to help with positioning and eq etc.
