Does it have two active woofers. How about size?  Thanks

The 215 has one active and one passive 15" and a builtin crossover for use with the RM30M.  Price is $650ea and size is the same as the New Original Sub.

What is the crossover set at and do the RM30's run full range with subwoofer augmentation?  Is there a subwoofer level adjustment or is that done through the amp?

The crossover is at 55Hz at 6dB per octave.  The RM30M's run full range, the woofer augments the first octave and a half.  To match levels I have been using the subwoofer out of the Trinaural Processor which adds a 12dB characteristic at 80Hz, accelerating the rolloff.

Would this be the appropriate sub to use in a not medium/small room featuring RM40's and the LRC?

Brian:  Any chance of James designing you an Ampzilla parametric equalizer to smooth room response with this and other subs?  And a calabration mic and video read out with the eq. would be great too.

I don't see James doing that in this life but I have been wrong before  :oops: . His new pre-amp that is due out in the March/April timeframe will have a built-in equilizer. I think he said it had either 3 or 4 hinge points so it will not be appropriate for smoothing room response, just for further tweaking the sound to your personal taste.
