Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!

@gdaddy1 

The important thing is that you like it. Enjoy. 

The more impact a sub has on your sound system, the more that would indicate a system that may not be very musical. The really good systems I have heard at audio shows  and in my own room do sound different with a sub but not life changing, just more bass. 

Subs were the last component I put into my system, last year....why didn’t I do it to sooner. None of my upgrades made such an improvement as adding subs = nuance, soundstage, depth, presence. 

I was listening to an interview by Magico's Peter Mackay on their new S-Sub which are way out of my price point. He made a statement in the interview that caught my eye... "Not ever speaker needs a sub, but every audio room does!" I went to my local dealer...did a session with subs and without in the same system...that was that.
Worked with REL to match my speakers - my goal was for the subs not to overwhelm my speakers (Horns), but to be the background, and to make the room better...it did significantly. As mentioned - matching is critical; also DSP/Crossover simplifies everything. 
 

This thread discusses ways to enhance your bass, including using multiple subwoofers.

I am using the (4) JL F-113 subs because they have an in-room microphone calibration set up. Each sub has been calibrated based on its room placement to my sitting position. I find the corners to be the best in overall deep bass response.

My main speakers go pretty low by themselves, so I have the subs set at 40-45hz. and are at a low volume level to add something that the main speakers may not have.
