    Interpreting CEA-2010

    Hi, I have a couple of questions about how to interpret CEA-2010 results when making a purchasing decision on subwoofers. The budget subwoofer selection in my area is very limited, but I've narrowed my options down to the Jamo C 912 and Polk HTS 10. The plot below shows their CEA-2010 results...

    LF Driver Size vs. Soundstage Size: Related? How should we be choosing subwoofer (s)?

    Is there a relationship between LF driver size and soundstage size? If so, what is the nature of the relationship? D (Direct relationship) I (Inverse relationship) F (Flawed-by-design reasoning to this query) I brought this up in another thread (maybe not-so-relevant there on second thought)...

    Hello, I have a JBL SCS 125 which is 5 satelite speakers and 1 subwoofer connected to a Harman Kardon AVR 300RDS. Recently, the subwoofer kept turning on and off rapidly for 1 to 2 minutes before staying on. It's only after that clicking on and off for 1 to 2 minutes that I could start using...

    Best 15 Inch Sub for ~82L Sealed Box

    Hello, So I build a couple of subwoofer enclosures that were originally intended for the Dayton RSS390HF. The enclosures are about 83L and with the RSS390HF that'd give me a qtc of 0.810 with the driver taking close to 400w before bottoming out at 20hz according to WinISD. However, I recently...

    SVS PB-1000 Pro or SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer for small room?

    Hi, I’d like to place a small subwoofer in a 11 x 13 foot bedroom, either the SVS PB-1000 or SB-1000 Pro. Is room size a consideration when choosing? I’ve read up and believe I understand the trade offs, but will a ported sub overload or behave worse in a small, nearly square room? My goal is to...

    Why the fuss with subwoofer specs and brands?

    I've been doing a lot of learning since discovering ASR recently. When it comes to subwoofers, I find a lot less data (at ASR and in general), and more of brand-loyalty or brand-shaming than for other areas at ASR. Even in the subwoofer comparison thread by sweetchaos, the frequency response...

    svs pc 2000 pro review

    Most subwoofers on the market are square boxes, with one or two woofers facing outward and with an open or closed enclosure. Occasionally you will also find one with a driver that is aimed at the floor. The PC-2000 Pro, however, is something completely different. It presents itself as a large...

    Can I use a Genelec subwoofer with Adams for a 5.1 surround setup?

    Hello ASR, I'm trying to finish building out my 5.1 surround setup in my home studio. I currently have two Adam A77Xs and three Adam A7Xs working with a MOTU UltraLite mk5.

    Which sub setup?

    I'm looking to get some subs for my room, say 70% movies, and wondering if I should go with 2 large (PB3000 for example), 2 smaller subs (PB1000 Pro) or some other suggestions, like 3 mixed ported with one really large, or even 4 sealed (SB3000) if the subs near the LR speakers need more...

    Store bought subwoofer specification by producent.

    I was wondering how store subwoofers can achive super deep bass for such a low price with minimal enclosure. For example svs sb 1000 pro declars to hit 20hz -3 which seems quite off with that size. Other example would be emotiva rs 13 which is ported but they delcare 16hz -3 with again small...

    JBL A120P subwoofer underwhelming bass

    A couple of weeks ago I bought 3 pairs of the JBL A130 bookshelf speakers and the A125 center speaker, which I like quite a lot for both movies and music. My subwoofer was a BIC America F12 that I've had since 2011. It's a nice subwoofer and really powerful, but I just wanted to see if there was...

    Adam Sub7 - a few measurements

    For a while now I've been thinking about adding a sub to my desktop system based around the Neumann KH120A. My primary motivation was not to get more LF extension (in the nearfield KH120 go relatively deep for the size), but to solve the bass dips in the 70-110Hz range caused by loudspeaker...
