Do I need a sub?


Would I benefit from even a small sub?

Energy rc-70s’
dual 6” woofs, bass is there, but would a sub remove the lowest freq, and give the small drivers a break, and sound better?

would it help,? I play loud once in a while, would the low freq removed from the main tower drivers make a better sound, I don’t think I would need much more than a 10 or 12” sub. 

Powered or unpowered?

thoughts?
thanks

does it matter where a small small sub goes?


Usually. Since you have a variety of options, put the sub where you'll listen, then walk around the room until you hear the best bass. That's where to put your sub! :)
We've beaten this subject to death.  Short answer: You can have one, but you don't absolutely have to have one. Take a look at this thread:

If you feel you are missing slam, maybe look into improving the speaker placement or adding room acoustics. They may give you more for your dollar without adding a new speaker which may be hard to fit acoustically.
