Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Some answers

Most people set subs up too loud- and go too small with the sub. The smaller the sub the higher the distortion, and higher distortion leads to localization.

Most "serious" bassheads are using distributed bass, where multiple (they can be smaller accordingly) subs are used spread around the room- this distributes the location of the subs and thus averages out the peaks and valleys caused by room interaction somewhat.

I strongly suggest you consider at least 2 subs- it makes a huge difference. And set them to where they sound right.. then lower the volume and crossover a little bit. Sub-tle is much better than "in your face".



Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.
