Fall multi-sub project small room
« on: 14 Sep 2011, 04:59 pm »
My theater room is 15Lx8.5Wx10H.   That's pretty small but the ceilings are high. The screen takes most of the front wall.   I am running Magnepan MC1s up front with phantom center and MMGWs surrounds in back.

Currently using a ~2003 Hsu Sub VTF1.   The room has many bass traps and the bass performance for the room is very good.  :)   

I'd like to take it from very good to excellent.   I'm thinking the best way is to go to multiple subs.

With the way it's setup now,  I have a big null around 45hz.  That's one challenge, the other is that ideally the MC1s like to be crossed at 150.

I'm thinking about using the geddes 3 sub system.    Thinking of adding two inexpensive 10 inch subs
Also thinking about hoisting these up on the ceiling to keep floor space clean looking.

This sub caught my eye.

Is this a quick inexpensive way to bass nirvana?  Or should I go for more spendy subs?
 
Ideas.

I have an Outlaw LFM-1 Compact, also designed by Hsu, and it's very musical, gets down to about 20hz in room. It's also more like $300. If this sub sounds anywhere near as good then it's a tremendous bargain  :thumb:

Did you purchase a pair of the Parts Express subs? How do they sound compared to the Hsu?

I had never considered a good sub in the middle and a stereo pair for the sides. I've always wanted a stereo pair, but at the same time I want a sub capable of going deep enough with enough power, and they are always more expensive. I'm eager o hear your results so I know if I should do the same thing!
