Getting 2 subs


Got a pair of Bower 802D3 which I’m biwiring 1000 watts to each one, been through several subs, just sold my pair of JL f112, which did not give me the thunder I wanted so I’m going back to SVS , I had 2 sb2000 before, but this time I want a brand new sb 4000 and I wondering if I should have me second sub be a sb2000 or the 3000 or match what i already have which is the 4000, I want to be the one to hear and feel it in my living room, not my neighbor,

my experience with large subs is that the frequency is to low and for me to hear close up , so is it ok to get 2 different size subs to cover a wider spectrum of bass or get 2 matching subs?

I think you are going about this in a way where you still won’t be satisfied.  I would suggest utilizing 6 subwoofers stacking 3 on each side.  If I were you, I would either use JL Audio Fathom 110’s, 112’s or 113’s.  Another option is REL’s 6 stackable subs. You are missing the frequency at certain height levels which in turn makes you feel like you are missing certain frequencies and dynamics that should pair with your speakers.  You can use the room correction to eliminate the negative waves and vibrations of your room to get the exact bass frequencies you are looking for.  Each subwoofer stacked will be set at a different crossover point.  For me, I was glad I went this route.  It made a world of a difference. Hope this helps

I would suggest 10 subs.

Plus 1 in the bathroom.

Nice sarcasm, lol!  Amazing if you never tried it, how would you know and what is your base to support your argument/ opinion against it, lol.  Then again people are creatures of habit and would have a negative opinion about anything they have never done or have somewhat tried with a lack of effort. My experience with what I have done especially with an agreement of everyone who has listened to my system suggests positive results and feedback.  Maybe that’s not your experience and hopefully you are happy with your system in your environment.  I just know for a fact that you can’t speak to my environment because you have never been there or been invited.

 

Happy listening 

I have 2 REL subs, big difference with 2 vs 1.  I also use their wireless connection, I love not having to run speaker cables to the far corners of the room.

The G&R Research has gotten me very interested in open baffle subs. They make single, double and triple kits with servo amplifiers for full control of each woofer. They include all the cnc cut material for diy assembly. Supposedly, with open baffle, it pressurizes the room equally, thereby giving a more even response without the “room boom”.
