Using an Outlaw LFM-1 EX Subwoofer in 2022

[cheapsoundguy]

I have an Outlaw LFM-1 EX Subwoofer that I purchased around 10 years ago. It's been in storage for a couple of years after some construction at my house.

I am thinking about adding it to my B&W 702 S2 stereo setup. I have a MiniDSP SHD that I can use for DIRAC/Bass control. My DAC currently is an SMSL M400. I am driving the speakers with a Benchmark AHB2 as of yesterday.

My question is if the Outlaw is "on par" enough with the rest of my setup, or if it will somehow detract from the rest of the setup.

If deployed, the sub would have to be placed within ~1 foot of the left wall/corner of an approximately 15x25 ft room. There is a bookshelf within ~1-2 feet of the corner as well.

I am generally not a basshead.. when I've used the sub in the past, the sub gain was dialed pretty close to zero/lowest setting.

Any thoughts?

Sure, seems like a decent sub. As long as it works it will do a fine job even in a large room (if you don't insist on deafening levels).

Should work well.
