Guys,

I have a friend who still staying with his parents, he is into HT like most of us here but since he only got his bedroom for himself, he cramp his 32" LCD into the room together with klipsch reference speakers, an 663 avr, ps3, tons of blu-rays and a toilet.

Now he told me he wanted to buy SVS 13ultra, and put in his bedroom. Is that an assnoob decision? Should he settle for a better environment only upgrade or he should proceed with the SVS 13ultra upgrade now?

You guys can reply here as I will forward this page to him, he will be reading but as a guest because he doesn't have a lowyat.net account yet.

back to topic

wat is his room size?? maybe 2000 cube feet?

hhehehe...the he really need a HUGE SUB

Is he u?

I am in the same boat with your friend. Stuck in a bedroom size 3.8 x 3.8m. Denon 1905avr, Wharfedale Diamond 7 channel surround with 12" REL sub. And currently just add CA 640A V2 into the family to drive the fronts. Ohya, don't forget the bed and wardrobe but omit the toilet, haha.

The result? Hard to get good bass as low frequency travels long distance. BUT, a friend of mine recommend me to lift the sub like 1 to 3 feet in order for the bass to travel longer. According to him this little trick works in SMALL room but don't practice it in BIG room. Well, I have not tried myself since finding a dedicated stand / stool for it seems troublesome.

Tell your friend, it is not how big a room we have, but instead what we do with the room

how to lift the sub up?? ur sub is down firing?? interesting topic here

care to share?

PC / PC-13Ultra requires big room to perform at its best. IIRC, callmevil did ask SVS abt the Ultra but they recommended 12Plus to him in return for the size of his room.

Because of room limitation, I would say around 4m in length is overkilled for a huge sub, 6m in length would be ideal. But I have no idea on SVS sub. Because of the short distance, low frequency only able to resort to bounce front and back in the room which resulted in bad bass. Like all of of knew low frequency is best when it is felt but not heard.

One could elevate the sub by using a stool, rack or stand provided it is rigid. Try to experiment in the range of 1 feet to 3 feet. That will give more room for the low frequency to travel. And one important thing, do carpet the listening area, it helps.

Tun Mega, my sub is not down firing. It is front firing, sealed type. I put it facing the wall cause it does not comes with a grill and afraid might just terkick the driver, hehe.

Am no expert, just to share opinion. Worth experimenting for those whose has space limitation.

My suggestion is go for it! Buy the biggest sub u can afford, after all if it is too 'loud or powerful' u can always lower down the vol. Buying sub for me is buy the biggest & most powerful wan. Afterall if u buy a good sub u will not 'up-grade' it anymore unlike other HT component. And when u r alone u can blast the sub kaw kaw & see if u can crack the toilet bowl! Just my peasant suggestion.

AGREE with horny!!! This is what I do. Blast kaw kaw when u are alone at home!

hmmmm somehow i feel this case so familiar like someone have the same senario, ahem anyone owns a SVS 13ultra here? hehhee
