Subwoofer for Raidho XT-1 sadly buried in a console built in?


Ok, you know the deal or you can catch up by reading my other post.  Room is reasonably big if you include the whole space, it’s almost a loft type setup with a kitchen and a family room fusing together. There are sonance speakers and a Sonos system that can play through the house and outside so don’t need this system to play for the masses if we have a party. This is more focused best I can on the family room experience.  The sub, unless hidden in the wall or buried in the cabinet, has to be white.  Yes there are wife issues, if you’re married you can relate. I got clearance for multiple subs if need be, wiring could be an issue.  Thanks, Mduff

Look into the Rel Airship wireless steup. Whichever subs you end up choosing, the Airship will make them wireless while also capturing the characteristics of your amplifier. Placement then becomes a breeze. I see in the other thread you’ve selected speakers. Were you able to demo them and are you reasonably certain they will function as desired? Your selected monitors are very "fast" sounding while your amplification presently is anything but. What will the tonal outcome be and what do you need from the sub system.

 

I would hesitate to procure any subs until you’ve determined what you need. For instance, do you need reinforcement below XXhz or do you require some reinforcement of lower mids. Do you have nodes to contend with (yes, you will, multiple), what acoustic treatments will be necessary and can you address it from a decor and physical standpoint?

 

Is your amplification appropriate? Its your cart but the cart may be in front of the horse at this stage.

I had a wisdom scs suitcase sub with a pair of Rockport Technologies Mira Monitors some years back. It was a solid setup. The wisdom sub has the possibility of being installed in a wall, but it will need to be a rather thick wall. I had mine against the wall in white. It was not painful to the eyes.

Love the garbage can sub. I want one!!! Would be great on the patio. The top flapping up with the beat of the bass would be quite a gas!!!

Well there is an issue.   Raidho's are going to take a few months and Im not doing that pay up front BS.  So back to square 1, speaker thoughts as a band aid?   Something used I can flip out of later?
