boss..2 sub can get better bass arr..
bcoz last time i try already i used my JBL pb12 and klipsch ksw 10(if i'm not wrong)
i placed it front and back ..but i think i don't really like the bass la...too boomy ...
that time i used yamaha rxv-2300 (no auto calb)...
what say u...

I wanna add, is it necessary to use 2 twin subs or mix also can?

Yes by using Y-spliter.Why do you want to using twin sub..1 sub still not enough meh

I knew of a guy in Canada with 4 SVS subs in his home theatre

TheFactor? He has 4 PB13-Ultras. IIRC, ronaldjoe did post the photo.



It is never easy to calibrate 2 subs in a room to make it blend nicely especially when you have 2 different brands / designs (Sealed and ported). It is always recommended to use the same make and model when you are doing multiple subs setup.

I shall not bore you all here. Here's a good link for your reading :

there is always proper set up needed....btw good link tks boss...

Gd link, will study. Cheers.

I am actually glad to know that more and more people are learning about subwoofer rather than plonking it in and set the gain high up to produce 'whoompa whooommpa' floor shaking bass while overwhelming other details from speakers.

in the immortal words of ms Ris Low, more BOOMZ!

Hi,

Maybe rearing-in a 2 sub system takes close to an engineerin degree to understand but watever it is, u cant deny havin more output wif 2 or more subs n my take is tat u dont hv to wring everytin out of one sub if u hv 2[or more].. in d long run, u ll hv both subs workin for a lot longer..

D

Instead of using 2 subwoofer, use one that is powerful enuf. If u split in to 2, u wont enjoy the real bass coming from ur amp. There is might be some distortion.

what?

Heh heh,

He nids to be introduced to wat a multi sub sounds like when playin a gud action mv..

D

and obviously someone is not reading the link that I posted above

By using 2 subs of the same make and model esp if you put it in both corner of your front, it will yields better result with better bass response across a wider listening area. Not to mention that you will gain 6dB out of it (usually), you can trim it down on the gain to get 75-78dB, which will be lesser burden to both subs.

And here goes the link on "Are 2 subs better than 1?" :

http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/get-good-bass/two-subs

Very agree.Some type of peoples always like to KEBOOM and shaking neighbours house and the same time overwhelming other details like you say
For me subwoofer main tasks is to produce LFE that it must produce.Ngam..ngam..Not to much KEBOOM and not to lack KEBOOM.

Qustion:
I will increase 3db sub level after I have done auto calibration.From what I have read before,auto calibration cannot do accurate sub level compare to others speaker due to LFE. So if soon I want to calibrate using SPL meter,just set to c-weighted slow response and adjust volume level gain at sub until it reach 75db..correct me

huh? i dont think this is true as far as my research tells me.

Yes, you are correct on it.

need to buy spl meter soon....

most subwoofer have both input and output audio terminal, why not use the output from this subwoofer to drive the second one?

this must be better than using Y connector because it will degrade signal quality as it is shared by 2 users

i want to have the idea of having to expend in future if the bass is not enough for me... i've still yet to purchase myself the HT set... if the Y splitter is possible, then i can drop the idea of buying amp/receiver with 2 sub preout.. save some money there.
some ppl say 2 smaller sub is better then 1 big sub... but, not sure will it supply less power to the sub or not...

thanks for all the feedback guys..

They call it 'daisy chain'

Yes I have read about that too. Apparently Two small sub, properly placed, will sounds better than one single bigger sub in that effect.

If you go to thx.com, they have a simple guide on how to place two subs in THX configuration. First choice is actually opposing each other in the room.

For those who are buying new amp, do opt for dual sub pre-out as a feature. It helps a lot.

Oh no..It's time to upgrade amp with 2 sub preout

Better go for Denon 4810 coz it has 9.3 pre-out. Effectively, 3 sub connections. Yay!

Soon I will make a deal with HTKAKI to get another 2 sub

subs aren't about boom..it's about feel :>

guys, is there a different in sound quality between amp with 2 preout and amp with 1 preout + y splitter? will the y splitter causes lost in signal quality?

Agree..agree.. Correct settings then you can FEEL but otherwise you can boom..boom..pow

taukeh...now got 9.3 arr...
i though only 9.2 (onkyo)....
i think same with .1 ....and we can use y spliter to seprate our sub....right

9.2 with XLR would be sweet.
Taukeh. Is 5507 gonna do calibration for both subs with audyssey?
Did you see that at Tan's pad?

I manage to grab a 2nd hand. Looks like i listen to 85-95db

guys will it degrade the quality of the signal if we split the 1 preout into 2? need some valuable input on this before i proceed on my purchase...
