put it at the same level with other channel. some like it hot...maybe +3dB or +5dB hot.
What AVR are you using? Most AVR has auto calibration which set the level for u.

i've hit +8dB on the AVR channel a few times, not to mention the gain/volume on the sub itself. im using pioneer vsx-520k, no auto calibration. my hall does have bulky sofa's all around with cloth as cover, so i assume they absorb most of the sub's sound.

Dont think sofa is a problem. Maybe your room size is big and your sub is too small

hey guys, which subwoofer would you guys recommend for budget of Rm1400 ? use with audioengine A5, thanks

The best suggestion is to go and try a few options in your budget and listen to them by yourself.
It's kind of personal.

It would help if you can provide us what are you using your system for. Music? Computer? AV? This would narrow the scope down.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.

I thinking to get audioengine A5 for music , the additional sub is to provide more OHM for gaming and movie, but i wish to get musical sub, so it wont messed with the audio quality of A5.
I dont know which sub I should look into, so I cant listen to them. But from what I survey in internet , STF-2 is very good at $329USD for musical sub http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/stf-2.html, I think it somehow fit my budget, but unfortunately i dont see any people selling this sub in Malaysia or Singapore.

with that price by the time someone brings it here with the shipping and taxes guess it'll be around rm1600 or so. why not wait for the svs 1000 series.

I understand maxx audio visual will be having them end of december and pricewise around rm2000, if not mistaken.

Any SVS sub model is within my budget ? 2000 is too much...

svs 1000 series is priced around RM 2.5k ... exceed his budget already.

Hi Sifus,
I'm thinking of getting SVS PB-1000 connecting to my old Yamaha RX-V663 and PSB speakers. Used mostly for bluray movies. My HT corner around 12" x 15".

Do you think this woofer is overkill for my current setup? This woofer is definately many steps higher than my current PSB Subseries 1 woofer. Thanks!

Does anyone know how Swan H6/h10 perform ?

So, no one know any musical sub that cost under 1.4k ?

This is an entry level sub from SVS. It will not be an overkill for your system. This sub can go to a low 19Hz but not as high output (dB) as its bigger siblings like the PB12-NSD and above.

Not that I am aware of. Musical sub normally refers to sealed sub with good attack and pace. At that price point, I have not come across any.

Jeng jeng jeng jeng.... expecting something to show up at my doorstep tomorrow

Sorry, IMHO, there won;t be a sub that is overkill for a setup, unless you are talking about super huge subs. Anything from 10" - 12" should be fine.

Went to Acoustique Systems 2 weeks back but the sub not available yet. Have put my name for notification though...was told will arrive mid Jan. Early waiting for arrival, hopefully can get before CNY

Look what I just got

Congrat on the new toy, more pictures please
