If you stack subs, doesn’t that introduce vibration
into each sub, causing distortions?
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
I’ve read it for decades , every where. Never tried a sub
Till now. What a shame! This is amazing. Just 1 hour
in my system and not fully broken in or calibrated. opens
Up the mains, deepens stage, adds bass detail. More
Soulful/open- dynamic- easy. Svs 3000 micro R. I do NOT
get the physical body compression, but musically wonderful!
I can overblow it a little to feel it though . I have it on the stock feet.
i think elevation would allow more volume and gain to get
a physical impact while keeping it clean. What an enjoyable
subwoofer!!

This is a little excessive but it gives you something to dream about when you’re talking about stacking subs. https://share.google/PGq3mBI8pqe3sAbXq. |
If your using -6dB rated sub-bass woofers read no further. If your sub/s are rated at -3dB@xxHz, when placed on a small harbor frieght dolly using an inexpensively long interconnect from Blue Jeans or Monoprice Cable one can easily be rolled over to your listening position. Repeatedly playing a downloaded low frequency cadence (not music) while slowly strolling around your rooms perimeter you should be able to easily locate and map your rooms standing waves locations where each sub can be positioned for their optimum presentation using the least amount of gain and EQ. When -3dB subs or and full range speakers are located out in most rooms null areas no amount of amplifier power or rated ability can overcome the physicality drain on the low frequencies by the null position. This out of positioning has been the ongoing issue nurtured by either the manufactures lack of knowledge or a marketing stratagy towards the unique home audio market. PS: To reduce enoying low frequency born throughout your dwelling leave them on dence foam topped dollies. Take care of that back. Enjoy. |
I use a mixed setup: 3 Klipsch 14SW connected to a Denon 4800X (which has 4 separate subwoofer outputs). The AVR isn’t connected to the main speakers and uses Dirac bass control to correct the subwoofers only. They are positioned on a triangle (1 center front and 2 rear at the corners) and the bass has no dips or reverberations. |
No. Both subs should be in phase with each other and working as one unit. The longer the throw, the further the voice coil moves off it's center point and more distortion occurs. The speaker cone shouldn't be jumping around. Also the sub amp gets to relax. Less work, less gain = less distortion and longer life span. All good. |
