subwoofer question......what size sub ?


have a pair of Proac Studio 200 speakers and thinking of adding a sub....but with the drivers in the Proacs being 7", what size sub ( driver ) should be used ?     keep it close to the same size or go with a 10-12 driver ?

what brand of sub works well with Proac ?

Willemj,

Regarding the Antimode 8033, how does this device interface, if at all, with the sub's plate amp controls such as delay, phase, crossover, and volume? So, do you first zero-in your controls for sound and then put the 8033 in line? Or, will you need to recalibrate?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions about the Antimode. I will seriously look into it, as I can hook it up as designed.

bpd24,
I have a pair of A370PEQ amps. I was speedreading the 8033's product page looking at the pictures. I saw right and left inputs/outputs on the back. I am using my preamp out to both sub amps, so I'll take another look at the Antimode models. Thanks, for the advice and praise.
Kenny
This is good information about these two models. I'll go get the details.
Thanks,
Kenny
I don't want to hijack addyson815's post, as he's looking for help with his Proacs.

My issue, is not about the virtues of stereo vs mono configurations. Instead, my concern, as bdp24 has touched on, is how the Antimode may interfere with patented circuitry used for control between my subs and amps. As the Antimode takes control of certain features in sub amps, will that defeat the manufacturer's patented circuitry? I will reach out to Danny of GR Research and also DSPeaker for their thoughts.

Regarding an omnidirectional approach for the mono setup of subs, and in my case the GR Research/Rythmik OB sub combination. For me, my setup is for stereo. I reached out to Danny of GR research and he replied...
"If I had two of the subs then I'd run them in stereo. They are only omni in the first octave and a half or so, then directionality begins."
