Sub users...


I am considering a sub, I have never used one. Something I wonder about though is, certain songs will have drums playing in just one channel, like track 3 on the Dave Brubeck CD "Time Out", it has a cool drum "solo" in the left channel, and other CD's will have drums that will bounce back and forth between the two channels. When using a sub, does this still sound natural?

First of all don't place it near that cute baby :) great pic---there will be some disagreement about whether or not ic's make much difference on subs --in my 2ch system I found that the better ic 's did make a difference on both subs jl f113s--in my HT system I just use a relatively inexpensive xlr cable- on an f113 -you will have to play around with diff positions and find out what works best for your very nice system--can use a less expensive one first and once happy with the position of one or 2 subs then upgrade the ics---Rich

Take Five - one of my all-time favorite cuts! I have two 12", sealed subs (wired stereo) dialed in around 55Hz. No deleterious effects on this (or any) cut whatsoever. In fact, I detect beter (truer, deeper) tone and broader spaciousness with the dual subs.
Thanks again to everyone for their great responses.

I have been reading about the JL Audio Fathom F113 and one concern I have is that a couple reviews stated that the F113 lacks a high-pass filter, which can be an issue for two-channel use, unless I use an external x-over, which I do not desire to do.

I have also read a few comments here on AG where users have integrated them fine into their two-channel systems with no extras.

Any thoughts on this?

Ras422 - The little guy is now 2 and depending on the song he runs around "dancing" to the music.

You can always use the sub to fill in and run the mains full range.
