4 x 12" woofers on each side! How low do they go, what amps are you driving them with, what xo frequency to the new Vandies, etc?
Nice to see a "real man's" listening room. No concessions to WAF there!

...with 2 mounted in sealed 6CF spaces...times 2...times 2 for stereo. The four 8-Ohm drivers per channel are wired in parallel for a 2-Ohm load and are connected directly to each channel of the Crown CDi2000 poweramp (just right of the CC speaker). (It's rated at a kiloWatt per channel into 2 Ohms.) When the SWs were supporting the front-L/Rs and the '.1' channel, the filter was 4th-order BW at around 40Hz. Just yesterday I disconnected the L/R feed and they're just '.1' subwoofers now.
I used a software program/soundcard/calibrated-mic system to eq it and measured substantial output at 14Hz where I started the frequency sweep.
They really do sound as authoritative as they look. :-) And TY about my mancave; I love it, and my wonderful wife doesn't even want to know what I pay for stuff.
