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!!

The easiest way is to use a sub with line level inputs and put the miniDSP there. It won't act as a high pass filter, but you still get all the parametric EQ goodness. If you want to keep DSP and filters out of your main audio chain, you can make things a little easier by plugging any ports on your main speakers. This will naturally raise their cutoff point. Otherwise, a single capacitor in line with your main amp is an effective 6 db/octave high pass filter.

I encourage everyone to use it even as just a learning exercise.
