I really kicked around the idea of a swarm set up for subwoofers. Spent lots of time researching and reading about what it would take to do it, what parts I would need, what approach etc etc...I decided to just go ahead and add two purportedly nic...

millercarbon...I can believe what you say wholeheartedly. I sometimes wonder if the same effect of a DBA setup can be had with way lesser priced subs !?I mean your just pressurizing the room right ?When you think about it in the simplest way the...

What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
The original DCM Time Windows that I bought new, were a fun, lively speaker !

Thanks millercarbon ! I`ll need to do my homework.I think I read somewhere that sending a signal to a powered sub via speaker level adds no strain or something like that to the amp ?The big Revel sub could keep using the Dayton amp then I could ad... 
Subwoofer recommendation for swarm
