How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers


For people who own subwoofers in the main system, I am interested to know the price ratio of the subwoofer to speakers in your system. Prices in MSRP.

Say if the subwoofer(s) cost $10,000 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 1.

If the subs cost $5,000 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 2.

If the subs cost $3,333 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 3.

Mine is at about 1 : 3.5

My system is 5.1, but most of the time I listen to music in 2 channel.

2.1 channels = 1:1.3

5.1 channels = 1:2.8

1:3

Subs for my cabin system were not an anticipated expense as those speakers are otherwise full range. But the large room is fighting me and it seems the only way to solve it. I haven’t taken delivery of them yet, but not having experience with subs or having expected to need them, they damn well better do the trick. 

["@ryder  A lot of people advocate a minimum of 2 subs but some rooms (including mine) can’t accommodate more than 1 either due to the size or arrangement. 

Does this photo convey how you see a subwoofer located in your room?
