Hello mizike,     I would read your Rhythmik F12 manual to see if they have a method to connect multiple F12 subs together.  The better sub companies, like Rhythmik, already understand the benefits of multiple subs in a room and have incorporated ...

Hello xcool,     Does “xcool” mean you were cool previously but not currently, or does it mean you’re multiples of cool?     One option to significantly reduce bass vibrations reaching the floor below is to place the subs on a slab of a solid mate...

Hello @erik_squires ,     Well, I guess we’re all fan boys of something. You seem to be a big fan of acoustic room treatments in general and GIK in particular. I’ve read many of your posts over the years praising both. I’ve always considered your ...

It seems like this thread has drifted away a bit from helping the OP, xcool, with his specific bass issue and toward how to attain very good in-room bass performance in general. I think I’ve contributed to this drift off topic as much or more than...

Atmasphere:”But a DBA simply does it better, that’s all. You do the DBA first, **then** the bass traps (if needed), since the DBA is far more effective at sorting out bass problems.”Hello atmasphere,     Based on my experience using the Audio Kine...

Hello lemonhaze,     You’re probably right.  But the DBA is so good,imho, one audition on music or HT would likely convince most to buy.  I know there’s a lot of reluctance to using subs in one’s system for some silly reason, but I believe most on...

tgrisham:”Multiple subs are not a cult but are scientifically proven to even out bass nodes but are they really necessary?  Where do you want to spend your limited funds?  Here is their conclusion:” Four subwoofers are enough to get the best resul... 
Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer?
     On our deathbeds, I doubt any of us are going to look back and wish we spent LESS on our music or audio/video gear.  I also doubt there’s much music or other enjoyable stuff once we all eventually begin our dirt naps. Enjoy it while you can a...

Hello cool,     Millercarbon is correct, a 4-sub distributed bass array (DBA) will provide excellent bass performance throughout your entire room and integrate seamlessly with your main B&W speakers.     If you’re only concerned with attaining...

Hello Hans/hleeid,     I’m really glad you, with Duke’s assistance, were able to implement the AK Swarm system in your small room and that you’re enjoying its performance so much.  I was so stunned by the excellent bass produced in my room when I ...

Hello lemonhaze,    You’re correct, that silver unit atop the Oppo is a Lumin D2 dac/streamer.  The black box to the right of the Oppo is a 20 TB Synology hard drive storage unit I use with it along with an IPad, running the Lumin app as the GUI a... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
twoleftears,    You can do this with the AK Swarm and Debra DBA passive subs, front firing but terminals on the bottom and controls on the amp/control unit.member hleeid has a Swarm in his small office with 1 sub on the floor and 3 on shelves near... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Hello naimfan     There are a lot of good amps of all types.  Whatever floats your boat or tickles your fancy.     We all need to pick our own huckleberry.Tim 
Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered?
While we’re awaiting a presumed response to lewinski01’s questions about 4-sub DBAs from The owner of Audio Kinesis, Duke Lejeune, I just wanted to add a quick comment: I mostly agree with cleeds comments on his previous post. Based on the commen...
