| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @gjfalls Nice system! You get it. Others don't know what they're missing. Once you stack, you never go back, Cheers | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @deep_333 Less distortion has a positive effect on ALL types of music at all volume levels. The cone moves LESS. The gain is LESS. The result is a richer, cleaner, effortless bass. | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @lewinskih01 I just wanted to make sure newcomers didn't take away a magical solution that won't pan out. Discourage experimentation using proven physics. So, you want to protect newcomers from trying some magical, make believe, solution tha... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @lewinskih01 At the same sound level in the room, the 4 subs/amps put out the same energy whether they are stacked one on top of the other or spread out. That's just not true..it takes LESS energy to get the same sound level in the room. When... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @lewinskih01 A good analogy is each of your subs are capalble of generating a certain size wave. All 4 of them are generating the same size wave in different locations evenly around the room. If you stack them they now become 2 units instead o... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @lewinskih01 In my case, going from 2 Rythmiks F12 to 4 didn't make the bass louder (as I did adjust the power to a target) and I couldn't tell if they were distorting less (they weren't to start with), but the improvement came from a more homog... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @lewinskih01 The corner placement is also a good location. I ended up moving mine out about 12". An added benifit is running the bottom sub at 40hz and the upper sub HIGHER at around 60hz to gain midbass. They MUST be stacked as close as possibl... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @spenav It's NOT about more volume. You missed the point. It is about better quality, highed fidelity bass. If you're setting up a home theater then spreading the subs around the space would help to get more even bass at different seat locations... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @cdtd If you stack subs, doesn’t that introduce vibration into each sub, causing distortions? 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 po... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @ozzy I was running two subs in stereo. It wasn't difficult to try the experiment. I took the feet off and used soft, grippy shelf liner and placed one on top of the other as close as possible. I pulled them out of the corner about 12" or so. Thi... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @ricred1 Since you have more than one sub, have you experimented with stacking them? | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! Better late than never. Just think, there are people that believe their system is just fine without a subwoofer. If they only knew. If you think one sub is good...the next level is stacked subs. You can't argue with physics. | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY The "extra fidelity" from speaker level connections is some extra foolery propagated by the REL guy... Nonsense. Paul McGowen also highly recommends High level connection as does anyone in the world of subwoofers!! It's so simple even a cavema... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY If you want the same dynamic signal that's coming out of your amp to be shared by both speakers and subwoofer then there's no question that the high level input is the way to go. I'd also suggest stacking the subs but that's another topic. | |
| Is My System Toast? Did you use a surge protector? Smoke coming out of the speakers means the voice coil got as hot as your toaster. Hence they are toast. |
