I'm going to be subwoofer shopping, but the last time I bought a sub was circa 1999-2000. That was an era of 1 single subwoofer, pre-DSP, and the emphasis was mainly on low distortion at low frequencies, at high volume. Which meant the well-regarded subs were often big (12, 15, 18 inches).
Well, the world seems to have changed, now with an emphasis on multiple subs (and usually smaller), DSP EQ, and more knowledge about how distortion is perceived at lower frequency.
So in a modern, multi-sub, digital EQ context, what are the criteria for a good sub?
