Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song.
I have found it is a matter of not over-doing it. I am not a fan of ports, especially rear ports, so I advise keeping them stuffed. (my experience below) Main System, 15" Woofers, Horns, I am familiar with full range and Stereo Bass. ...............
