What sub do U use?

[kgveteran]

Alright lets have em all.The DIY, the commercial , I want to know what market reads and writes in this forum.I make my subs.I use (4) 15" Adire Tumults straped to (4) Adcom 555mkII's.I also use a Behringer 1124p parameteric eq. Music or movies or both!

[BigK35]

I don't have one yet but I'm saving up for the SVS 20-39PCi.

[Charles Scott]

RBH 10AP - great sound, very fast. Thinking of upgrading to an Alon Thunderbolt for a little more punch. I've heard great things about SVS but I really need to audition with my system before I spend the cash.......I wish I knew someone that had an SVS sub, it might make my decision easier.

That dual Citation 7.4 is a sweet set up and one that a lot of people don't know that much about. Since you can choose your own amp(s), you can really power them up if you like. That'll beat the pants off a lot of the high profile stuff being listened to today.

My JBL PS1400 14" twins from the Performance Series are similar except they've got their own amps, which limits them to 400W each. I bolster them with a Fosgate Audionics CS220 THX passive sub driven by 600W bridged.

Thanks.... I agree. Although the DENON Amp does a pretty good job all told (200 wpc into 8 ohms, 350 wpc into 4 ohms), and with the subs being rated at 6 ohms I'm probably getting about 300 wpc... I've been looking into the 1000 watt sampson amps that SVS has. Kinda scary huh?!? :D

I have the Klipsch RSW-15 sub and it sounds great. RECENT UPDATE. The RSW-15 went upstairs to the bedroom to be replaced by the SVS PB12 Ultra/2 mounted on 2 SubDudes.

Mr. Poindexter's Main System is so awesome that he doesn't need a sub and if you don't understand that statement then you need to look at his profile and see his system and the system specs, absolutely awesome, that's why he's the King of OverKill.

He has the Infinity IRS-V's in a room where they cover the whole wall on one side... correct ? 12 x 12 inch powered bass drivers... that is full range...

Personally, I don't have a sub, I sold mine when I moved into an apartment. I had a Def. Tech. PF15 before, wasn't enough. Fortunately, I'll be out of here soon and the sub building will commence. For my theater I'll likely have a IB with eight 15" and around 2,000 watts of power. Yeah, that should be enough.:D

[kgveteran]

It seems like I can live with a main that sounds good .A picture that is big 77"x41" .Nothing gets the crowd like clean solid bass.I'm not sure if I get down to 18hz but I have been known to hit about 118db at about 23hz.I was measuring from outside the room!Keep em' coming.

[reason1]

I was real close to building a massive box around an adire shiva. Then I got a great deal on a 'b' stock dharman from adire, essentially what I was going to build anyway. If you have room for a 22" cube and don't want to spend too much, check it out.

Mirage BPS-S210 bipolar, servo feedback, force forward design. 100 pound monster that will do 100DB at 16HZ. Nothing, including the SVS I've tried. have ever even come close to this sub. Superb for music and movies and I doubt it could be built under $3000 these days. If you ever get a chance to hear one....do it! One of their claims to fame was you could put a glass of wine on the cabinet and a fully driven 16HZ signal wouldn't even make a ripple. It doesn't.

Over the past few years, I've owned two Rythmik amps, with no problems at all. First I had the basic amp (1 year warranty), now the special DirectServo model (2 year warranty). They are some of the best plate sub amps available (with that very cool notch filter and damping control). Brian is extremely responsive, and no doubt he would fix any warranteed amp quickly and without question.
Sorry to hear yours flamed out. Obviously the Crown amp will be great for that sub.

BTW: The DirectServo Amp/Driver combo (http://www.rythmikaudio.com/servo_tech.htm) really sounds amazing in the Mini-Thunder! IMHO, better than when I had the AV12 MKII in the same sub. Especially for music. For HT, it equals the AV12 MKII. Highly recommened! :)
The Pic below just shows one of the two opposite firing 12" PR's, the 12" servo driver is bottom firing!

Previously running one DD-15 and one DD-12, upgraded the DD-12 to a DD-15 and couldn't be happier. Both DD-15s are concealed behind chairs in the front of the room. Due to WAF, I couldn't go with a DD-18 as there was no place to hide it. Using the built in 8 band parametric EQs, I have almost ruler flat freq response from 15Hz to 120Hz. Velodyne has really outdone themselves with the DD series.

[Mr.Poindexter]

I changed out my main system, so now I have subs in my new system.

Genesis s2/12t - two of them
Genesis s4/8 - on backorder - will have in three weeks

Plus the mains have powered, servo controlled dual 12's with an input for LFE. Flat to 16Hz on all 5 channels. Yeah, baby!

You have one other Tumult admirer, Craigsub listed the Acoustic-Visions Denali, which has one and two PR's. Sorry for the correction, I just happen to know Craig from a while back! ;)

[kgveteran]

Alright Seth,
I sat down with a pen and paper trying to do what you do best and it drove me nutz.Please put together a good list.You rule.

[Greg_R]

And not a single Adire Tumult , talk about minority.I built my DIY subs 1 month before the Tumult was announced (or I would have used it). The subs are based off of the Stryke 15.2 design and use the Stryke HE15 driver and 2 18" passive radiators (each). That makes 2 15" drivers and 4 18" PRs in a box. I opted to build two separate enclosures instead of one large box for placement flexibility and weight concerns. Each of the 'small' boxes weighs ~240 lbs. I power the whole thing off a Crown K2 (1250W / sub). Musically it is the equivalent of my old Paradigm Servo-15 except it has more bass extension (and _way_ more output).

[sethwas]

Ha!
I didn't mean to make it into an excel spreadsheet graph (although it gives me something to do at work tomorrow :) ) I just meant open up a separate thread with a poll so the bars are automatic. Given there are more than 10 subs, I guess I'll do it by hand.

can i count the 6 large advent woofers in the L/C/R custom doubles?

sm.

[Eddie Horton]

HSU VTF3-MkII

[kgveteran]

I'm not sure if the 6" drivers count but I'm sure they help out in the front. The SVS guys have to be in the lead.HSU will probably come in second place (not sound wise,just numbers).

[ScottyH]

I've got a JBL pro 2241h 18" sub on order. It is THX approved for cinema use (in an 8ft3 enclosure) & can fill a 25,000 ft3 room with THX required levels of gutwrenching snappy bass. It should work well in my 4000 ft3 room I hope.

[SpruceMoose]

kgveteran: no, not 6" woofers. 6 OF them. they are 10" woofers in 12" baskets. 12" diagonal spacing on the mounting flanges.

just kidding about counting them as real subs :).

[DMF]

Correction to previous:

Two Outlaw LFM-1s. (Haven't received the 2nd one yet.) Trying to smooth out the room since treatments are a limited option.

18" JBL's should do the job.As an over engineering gooroo I'd buy two.
I bet all the advents put out some sound.

[SpruceMoose]

yeah, the old advents sound really nice. and i have one pair of "smallers" waiting for a set of bookshelves to be rear surrounds. i loaned them to a friend when i gave her a stereo system. i told her the electronics were hers, but the advents were mine. :)

Main system has a BDEAP-32 powered by a Crown K2 in bridged mode. Just built a second system that is going to be used more for everyday use in a room that is only 18' x 12' x 8'. Put an SVS CS Ultra in there with a Crown K1. Needless to say, headroom to spare in such a tiny space.

Both systems employ EQ.

Titanic 12" Kit from Parts Express, started knocking pictures off the walls. Its all I need in a 14" X 20' foot room.

[goneten]

I use eight AV-15's in an IB (attic install), together with two Tempests in the front left and right corners of my home theatre. I'm still deciding which subwoofers to build for the rear, however, I'm edging towards using Av12's (in a sealed design, of course;))

My computer sub has remained the same (it's basically a sealed Shiva in a four cubic foot enclosure). Basically, almost all the subwoofers I build are sealed. I like my sealed subwoofers.:D

Anyways, I'll post pictures as soon as possible, which should be within the next few weeks.

Wow, I think the IB guys are starting to rear their DIY heads. Could you imagine going into an Audio store and asking for an eight driver IB install.That's why to do it right you have to get your hands dirty.

SVS PB12-ISD/2


Scheduled to arrive this week.

Dual IB's...nine 15" Dayton in each. I don't visit/post here enough to include a link but they really do exist...and sound great!

And we power these with.............

[mhawker]

SVS 20-39PC+...... and loving it. :)

[JonFo]

After dual Velodyne 18's, I went to a 4 x Stryke AV15MKII IB in an 'unusual' configuration. My manifold box is in the room. Sort of looks like a regular sub box (well, ones that have 4 drivers in them :cool: ).
Power is a 1,200w Crown XLS602 amp fronted by a BFD.

BTW- Those are six foot tall MartinLogans, so the scale of the sub is masked a bit. That's a 22" cube the 15" drivers live in.

Mirage SS1500 , the one Bob carver sued them over (and lost).... strong amp in a little box, force cancelling drivers.

I also ran a DIY WITH DUAL 15" Eclipse ALUM. and a Cown K1 (as well as other amps from time to time. But the enclosure was to big to hide.

Almost too powerful! To have it blend in nicely with the towers I run it at about 30% power at put the crossover at 50hz.

For music I think it's a bit too slow and that a 12 incher would be better but for hometheater this thing is an absolute beast.

Great subs from really nice people. Dan Wiggins spent as much time helping me as any one has ever in the hobby, and I really appreciated it.

Good Luck

SVS PB-12 Plus/2 will arrive next week, replacing my poor old Klipsch KSW12.

I can't believe how many DVD's I am going to have to re-watch....

SG

[plasmamaniac]

sivadselim, I have the RSW-15 also. Have you calibrated your sub? If so, how did you do it?

[plasmamaniac]

SpacedGhost I have the RSW-15 and I am thinking about getting the SVS PB-12 Plus/2 also. Can you PM me and let me know how you like it after you have listened to it awhile. I assume that you will calibrate it too. Hope it works out great for you.

[SpacedGhost]

Plasma

I will have the whole week of Thanksgiving off, when I will put this sub through some serious testing..:D I will give all the details I can. I have some pics of my setup now and will take some with the SVS, so you can have some idea of size difference too.


SG

[plasmamaniac]

Thanks a bunch, SpacedGhost. Did you consider the PB12 Ultra/2? Was it overkill? Too expensive? What did you think about it?

[SpacedGhost]

Plasma

Yeah it was a cost issue, I just couldn't justify going that high for a sub. I'm hoping this will be my last sub purchase...ahahahahahah ...:p

Upgradidess is a disease, and I'm infected...


SG

[plasmamaniac]

Particularly when it comes to speakers and subs. I don't know if I should continue to use my RSW-15 but add the PB12 Plus/2 to the mix. What do you think? Would the both of them have an adverse effect?

[plasmamaniac]

Bump.

[cybertec]

SVS PB12-Plus/2, it is a beast.

[jamus34]

I have a SVS PB-10 on it's way...ETA is tomorrow :D.

However, this is a Christmas gift, and therefore after the initial opening and plugging-in to make sure everything works I have to pack it up again :(

[mjosef]

I have an Original VMPS sub bought as a kit in 1986 and used for biamping my stereo, crossed over with a Marchand electronic crossover (kit). Last year the driver foam surround gave out...bought the new upgraded 12" mega woofer with matching 15" passive radiator and viola, new sub. I refoamed the old driver and built a new box...almost finished, got 2 more coats of clear poly to apply. Interesting to see what two subs would sound like in my small apt. 11X26'. I recently picked up a Feedback destroyer to help with things. Got 2 Adcoms 555's to power these in bridged mode.

[kgveteran]

The Adcoms are great for subs.Only 400.00 on the used market is a great deal.I use the FBD and have had great luck with it.

[thebland]

No SVS here but a pair of Servodrive SPL B-DEAP-32 (200 lbs each)

Bass flat to 12 hz (actually tweaked so that it is about 6 db above flat from 12-25 hz) driven with a pair of bridged Crown K-2 amps (5000Watts). EQ'd with a QSC DSP 4 digital equalizer.

Bass nirvana!!

[bpape]

Another ServoDrive owner. Contrabass driven by Crown MicroTech 1200 in parallel mono. Crossed over @ 50Hz for music and 60Hz for movies. Symetrix 551E parametric EQ. +/3 down to about 16Hz. 110db @20Hz is a piece of cake. Love it.

[thebland]

Yep, Servodrive serves up the bass a-plenty!!

Speaking of low, low bass.....Here is an in-room measurement from The MATRIX of the helicopter crash into the building at the end of the film. Talk about low, low bass....unless you can reproduce it, this part of the movie has excellent low bass information to be had!

*Note useable bass down at 10 hz and yes we listened at full THX reference level!!:D!

Thanks to Chris Collins for plot!

[kgveteran]

Wow, what bass !

[Mazeroth]

Dual Adire Shivas sealed in a temporary 2.8 cubic foot box. Will either be making two larger sealed sub boxes with dual Shivas or will be making two ported ones. Still can't make up my mind.

[tbhugh]

1 ACI Maestro for LFE
2 ACI Titan IIs for Left and Right sub duty

[RLJ]

2 Athena SCT - P2s

[drdoan]

Over the years here is a list of my subs: Atlanta Technology 8"; home made 12" in a 4 cu ft box cleverly designed to be as ugly as possible-I eq'd it with a car eq powered by a power supply from a vcr and powered externally with a 1970's Pioneer 100W stereo receiver; mirage 8"; Sony 12"; Sylvania 12" (an inexpensive and very good sub); Paradigm Servo-15; and now (drum roll) an SVS 16-46PCi (my favorite) eq's first with the rane graphic eq and now the Behringer Feedback Destroyer 1124. Dennis

[GLBright]

Old, original Definitive Technology PF1500. What I really like about this pre-DolbyDigital sub is its adjustable high-pass filter. I have powered towers for fronts and setting the high-pass filter on the DefTech at 50Hz and running the sub signal through it to the main subs, setting the LRs to small, and running the LR woofs as subs... Well, I hope you get the picture. With a BFD it will run flat to just below 20Hz. I'd like to upgrade, but with my current setup a high-pass filter would almost be a neccesity. Anybody have them anymore?

[mdonnigan]

LFE channel: 4 Atlantic Technology 8200 PedSub 12" drivers in a custom DIY cabinet, powered by a BEHRINGER EP1500 power amplifier and equalized with a BEHRINGER DSP8024 digital eq.

LCR channel dedicated subs: 3 Atlantic Technology 8200 PedSub 12" drivers in a custom DIY cabinet, powered by 3 channels of an Atlantic Technology A-2000 power amplifier, and crossed over with a BEHRINGER DCX2496 Ultra Drive Pro.

Yes you read that right, I am running 7 subs in my system so that I can run the LCR channels full range, and achieve extended low bass performance from the LFE channel.

[petergaryr]

In the living room: an SVS 20-39 PCI and an SVS 20-39 PC+. In the bedroom a Velodyne CHT-12. In the family room dual POLK 350's. In the computer room a Polk 450.

Umm...I like bass.

[kgveteran]

The full range fronts must be great.I have always wondered what three subs for my LCR would sound like.I have never heard full range fronts.It may be the next frontier.

[taxman48]

Defilnitive Tech Pro 250.. nice sub great on depth charges..:D

[thebland]

Servodrive SPL B-DEAP 32 (a pair), 2 Crown K-2 amps (bridged to 5000 Watts).

I got a chance to demo these as the manufacturer was eager to install a pair into an acoustically treated, dedicated theater for trial. So they piled them into the back of a pickup and drove all the way from Chicago to my home just outside of Detroit (5 hours). They promised some big time performance..so, of course, I was interested.

As per the rep of the company (Mark Seaton) who installed them with Chris Collins...We set them up, EQ'd them for the room, put in U-571, turned the gain all the way up to THX reference level, THEN boosted the LFE channel an additional 15 db on top of that and let the U-571 depth charges rip!!

It wasn't the subs that exploded but the structure of my house! It was like an out of body experience, as I knew from all of the excellent subs I'd owned prior, that this type of torture would have destroyed them all.

I was sold!!! The subs stayed! Still nothing out there that can even come close!!!

[kgveteran]

So, 5,000 for each of the subs and 1,499 each for the crown's ? Do these numbers represent current cost about 13,000 for your sub woofer system.

[Art Sonneborn]

One SVS 16-46 PC powered column and three Triad in walls.

4 SVS CS Ultras powered by two Crown K1's, filtered @ 15 Hz using the SVS black box and EQ'ed using the Behringer Feedback Destroyer. Also one Velodyne HGS-12 series II for 2 ch playback (tuner and vinyl only)

$5,000 is the MSRP for the ContraBass. Jeff's bDeap-32's carry an MSRP of $3,450 each.

[kgveteran]

Mark,
It looks like those bDeap-32 go from 32hz up ? Maybe I read wrong. Is that more of a musical re-enforcement type design than HT.Do you incorporate a TL circuit to get it to go lower or use multiple cabinets. The stuff looks cool.

[O'Doush]

M&K MX125 MkII...(or did have it)

[kjohn]

[bpape]

The BDEAP-32 is more of a reinforcement design. Jeff is running 2 and is using EQ to smooth things out.

[thebland]

Yep,

They couple to the wall and use it as a diaphragm of sorts. When properly installed and EQ'd, you can have flat useable bass to 12 hz or lower (my amp has a shelf filter at 12 hz so that is as low as I go).

[kgveteran]

Cool:)
