Wiim Sub Pro

[staticV3]

Much cheaper than that. It's a discontinued product. US prices at Amazon are $800.

All prices are up to date in Germany.

$450 stateside is the MAP

$426 open box

looking for used at < $300 personally

High distortion and low spl below 40hz, 30ms significant group delay (Of course Mains can be adjusted in the wiim app).
Otherwise, solid subwoofer for the price.

Yep, but the one is putting long my teeth (Spanish expression for desire) is the new Micro 3000, having a small room for the G Threes…

My Kali SW 6.2 is enough for the 40 Hz region, but who knows what creatures hide below.

Currently using a KEF Kube 12b but looking to downsize (3x3m room) and move to a wireless sub, >90% music and usually 80-85db avg max, i'm guessing for music pretty much any sub will work fine in this case? Not 100% sure but i'm guessing ~90db at 30hz is more than enough for this use case

SVS 3000 Micro Revolution caught my attention but local prices are $4000 (for the old version, lol) while WiiM is ~$700 and seems like the obvious choice given the price difference, wondering if there are any more good small subs or slightly more compact but wireless

Also, checked the Edifier T5s and seems like it beats the WiiM at a fraction of the price? Not wireless but still, WiiM looked like a great deal after comparing price to SVS, now the Edifier seems like a much better deal comparing to WiiM's offer lol, considered buying KEF's KW1 transmitter but still unsure as i'd still prefer a smaller sub, and i'd love wireless but if T5s gives me similar results for just music it becomes quite tempting, slim sub is easier to fit and play with positioning and it's about $200

Could I take Erin’s measurements, import them into REW and then simulate what 2 plus WiiM Sub Pros would look like? Vector Sum 4 times?

You need in room measurements to simulate *your room*. The shape of your room and the size is gonna be your biggest obstacle. Two subs will help the with room response or co-locating them will give you increased SPL. If I were looking for a small sub, I'd just build them and save money and increase performance. JAMO has a 10" that's only $125 that will give you about the same performance as the WiiM (F3 in room around 30hz). You could buy 4 and have a nice setup for music. What processor will you be using?

Just remember that a "wireless" sub will be more difficult to dail in due to the delay and depending on the preamp/processor might not be possible to get right.

Using WiiM's Amp Pro atm so i think it should be fine, planning on buying a UMIK-1 next

You should be ok and just note you'll probably have to play with the delay on the sub and mains if you go with the WiiM sub. Good luck and enjoy the new gear.

Thanks, can I please ask what resources you recommend for building my own small subs?

I’ve got enough processors, 2 Minidsp 2x4 HDs, Minidsp Flex HTx etc.

The Jamo is £349 in the UK.

Would you be looking for kits or doing the cuts on your own? I'd go with a 1 cubic foot cabinet for a dual opposed, a plate amp with boost, and select the driver. The SLS 8" from Peerless is a good value to performance at $53 a driver. The Dayton Ultimax 2 8" is more expensive at $125 a driver but gives an F3 in the low 20s and higher SPL.

Ouch, more than double than here.

The Jamo is Ok for small rooms (I own one for a bedroom system). I cannot believe it is so cheap.

Also check out @Wolf work at DIY audio, I recall him using some GRS drivers with good results and you could even move up to 10" drivers in some instances .

I'm tempted to buy a few for a bedroom system at their price and shape, not to mention the "brown" color looks decent.

I would say definitely a kit for the box, there used to be a guy in the UK on home cinema forums who would build subwoofer cabinets, I’ll look him up. Thanks for your help.

Let us know and we can nail down drivers and the boost for each driver. Sealed subs are easy IMHO, bass reflex requires a little more thought for the box tuning but requires less power to achieve the lower F3.

I have the white with the gray cloth grille and it is attractive and relatively small. I would consider it more of a mid-bass woofer than a subwoofer, but it works decently well in a relatively small room. I have not noticed it as being particularly boomy or distorted. I still cannot believe how inexpensive it is. The build quality seems to be pretty good, although it is pretty light.

Jeez, Jamo under its new ownership jacked the price of the Studio 810 to $400. That’s probably about where I would have expected it to fall—not the $154 I paid six years ago.

S810 SUB

The Studio 8 series features a design with clean lines and modern finishes, crafted for stylish urban living. The S810 SUB features a 10" woofer and 150W amp for deep, dynamic bass. Its ultra-slim cabinet and bottom-mounted amplifier allow flexible placement – even under furniture – while 90°...
