    I'm a bass guitar player. Smaller speakers have lots of focus when it comes to low frequencies. The best cabinet I ever had was an SWR Henry The 8x8. It has 8 8 inch drivers and a tweeter. I was flat down to 37hz and sounded incredible!

    My room had carpet for the last 10 years I've been enjoying what I thought was the best subwoofer performance. Oh no my wife decided she wanted hardwood floors, well we both have allergies so the doctor said hardwood floors would be an improvement, so we had them installed. Here's why I posted this comment, now with the hardwood floors, my subwoofer performance has increased. Now the deep sound really gets into your stomach, and the floor even vibrates. Let me know what your opinion on carpet versus hardwood floors, for me it was a tremendous improvement. Thank you

      Your right. My subs sound way better at my rental house that has hardwood floors but, the new home has thick carpet you would think but, nope lost quite a bit. So next year definitely taking off the carpet going full flooring also you do get less sick with having floors.

      @@mosthated8848 Yes my wife's decision to get hardwood floors almost started a major argument. But thanks to my research hardwood floors would add to my subwoofer experience. After the hardwood floors were installed we watched our first movie, the soundtrack specially the explosions of the rumbles all that stuff, much more significant. Lucky we live our own home, condos and apartments are tough to replace floors, but if you do replace the floor to a hardwood floor in apartment or condo, I guarantee your neighbors are going to start complaining. The hardwood floor really transmits the sound almost like it's another cone of the speaker.

    I love 8 inch subwoofers, especially for a a car or truck. At home, double up on a couple of quality 8 inch subs, and you can fill a room with bass. I think 8 inch subs are more "musical" in nature. It you want tight punchy bass instead of a "fart machine" check out 8 inch subwoofers.

    Great video about using dual subs. I upgraded about a year and a 1/2 ago from the s8 to the xS10. Very recently I upgraded from a Cambridge Audio AXR receiver to a CA CXA integrated amp. I remembered watching this video and dug the s8 out of storage and hooked it up to the amp's preamp outputs.
    I toggled to the power switch on and off for comparison and there is a distinct difference in performance when both are on. The bass sounds cleaner and fuller, with better staging. 9:19 9:19

    I have an integrated DAC/AMP (Yamaha wxa 50) and passive speakers (PSB Imagine XB). I’m thinking of getting the Emotiva Flex S8.
    The amp does not have LFE or high pass crossover on it- so I assume I need to run from amp to sub, then sub to speakers?
    If I do it this way- it will be with speaker wire- not RCA inputs. Does this mean I lose the LFE and high pass crossover functions?

    • @eubikedude
      @eubikedude 3 года назад

      The S8 does not have a high-level output, so you can't feed the speakers from it. But you can split the speaker output, some amps, like Emotiva's mono-blocs have two sets of output posts so you connect one set to sub high level and the other to your speakers, but you won't get a crossover that way, just level and maybe phase.
      So you'd need a separate amp and put the sub between the processor and amp. :(
      There are subs with HL input and output though, so one of those is likely a better option for your application.

    • @eubikedude
      @eubikedude 3 года назад +1

      The one in the video kind of gives you both in one box. :)
      There's also the "sealed vs ported" choice too. All of them have plus/minus, ported play louder but can be "boomy".
      If you've thick carpet, probably ftont/side firing is better. Placement options play into it two. But always get at least two, more than 4 is probably a waste unless you have a large room to fill (diminshing returns) or a large budget or want to split bass redirect from LFE (which is a great thing to do). Then you want 2 for each as a minimum (4).
      So maybe start by sizing two subs from your room size and budget and try that out.

  • @basscleaner
    @basscleaner 2 месяца назад

    No doubts, room dimensions are critically important for good sound reproduction, especially for low frequencies. Nevertheless, if we have the limited space of variables, which fully determine the sound result, it means, that among possible room dimensions for known low frequencies source position (height) there are the best, the worst and medium sets of such a room dimensions. The best room dimensions set for low frequencies is understood like for having minimal spread for amplitude-frequency dependence in range 20 - 150 Hz. Corresponding to this thesis, we can have (or not!) so-called Acoustical Dimensions for this room. Do you agree?

    This is an interesting concept. Taking a small sub and augmenting your big main sub to correct room nulls. My question is this... I have a BIG dual opposed 18" Power Sound Audio subwoofer on the front wall of my theatre. It's an incredible sub, capable of quality output almost into the single digits but alas in my room, my main listening position appears to be in a nasty null, where I'm losing quite a bit of bass. Meanwhile, further back in the room, the bass is way too loud. By adding one or two of these smaller subs, could it couple with the big sub to eliminate the nulls? What would I be hearing in my main listening position? These little subs? Or the quality sound of my big, expensive sub?

      Update: Thanks to a phone call to Emotiva I have been assured that this little sub can fill my needs. So, I put his suggestions to use. I also re-watched a couple of sub tuning videos. I tried the S8 sub in many places in the front of my room and moving it an inch at a time can make a difference. Once I found the best place for sound and appearance I adjusted the "distance" setting in my Denon AVR to align the timing to the main speakers. I found that I had to almost double the measured distance. I found out that one foot = one millisecond of bass frequency movement. Now I have BOOM in my room and a hard working impressive sub-woofer. I did not change the crossover or the gain, just the placement and the timing. Oh, I did place this sub on a pair of 2x4s on edge to give the down firing driver room to breath over my carpeted floor. Thanks again for the help and advice from tech support at Emotiva.

    • @michaelwright1602
      @michaelwright1602 2 года назад +3

      Yes, two subs are always better than one. Once you hear two subs in a stereo system, you will never go back to one sub. Which sucks, because as you upgrade, which most of us do, now you will look at pairs of subs vs just one.
      And one thing that is rarely if ever discussed about using two subs, especially in stereo, is the fact that it increases the actual soundstage of the music being played. In other words two subs will put you at the concert on the stage, depending on your speakers, vs sitting in your listening area and hearing sound out of two boxes.
      Two, or dual subs, will make a substantial difference in the listening experience. I have two of the SVS SB3000 subs paired with the KLH Model 5 speakers powered by a high powered amp with lots of grunt and headroom, the XTZ Edge A2-400.
      The Model 5 speakers are getting roughly 200+ wpc which really opens the speakers up, especially when paired with the 13" sealed SVS subs. The soundstage is HUGE when the subs are in the mix, you are there. Turn off the subs, and I am back in my living room. Subs make a difference.

      From my understanding, it doesn't make sense to have 1 subwoofer playing the "left channel" and 1 subwoofer playing the "right channel" because most recorded materials (songs, movies, etc) won't have different bass notes for each channel.
      And even if they do, bass is pretty omnidirectional... so you wouldn't be able to tell where the bass is playing from.
      I don't think you can easily create a "stereo image" for bass like we do when listening to midrange and highs with our speakers.
      The main benefit of having 2 subwoofers is to mask the dead spot that the other subwoofer creates in the room, like stated in this video.
      So basically, if you have no dead spot in your main listening area you may not need 2 subs...
      BUT in a home theater setup, you usually have greater seating area composed of multiple rows of multiple seats... So it makes a lot of sense to use multiple subwoofers so that the bass will be better across that whole seating area.
      Concerning the crossover frequency, I'm not sure what you mean by "mono".
      Crossover is usually the "crossover frequency" expressed by a number of Hz.
      You need to choose the frequency at which the subwoofer will start to play the bass notes.
      That frequency depends on which speakers you use and what their roll off looks like.
      For example, if your bookshelf speakers go down to 60hz, you could low pass your subwoofer at bit higher, ex 80hz.
      That way, your speakers play from 20khz (highs) to 60hz (bass) and the subwoofer 80hz (bass) to 20hz (low bass).
      Hope this helps! ✌️

    my question is how many subs can the processor support before sub sub processor would be a need not to mention sub processing option where you have a 7 channel main plus the effects channel 14-21 channel with daisey chaining subs if you got the capacity within the processor to stop dead zone if you were applt subs throughout room you would be looking a delay response time between each sub
    though if you are going to consider something within 4 channels for sub output from processor you could be looking at 28 subs if a 7 channel output is applied
    you can be looking at 7-14-21-28 speaker alone
    though I would have to ask what is going to between the main processor and the amp to upto 28 effects speakers
    I already own enough speakers to effectively do a 10.2 audio setup with purchase of 2 more subs 10,4
    center left
    center right
    front height left and right
    front wide left and right
    main front left and right
    4 rears left and right
    if you were to aooly sony's model from the 1990's was 22.6 you still need secondary processor to double the channel output from main processor..
    at the moment i'm looking for proper 1u options to cater for more hdmi inputs

    For my PCs sound system I went with a 12" subwoofer facing the corner, an 8" sub aimed at my crotch, and a 7" sub aimed down at the huge dining room table I use as a computer desk since my speakers and 43" monitor won't fit on a normal desk. Those are combined with two pairs of better-quality (but still not great quality) Logitech speakers and a pair of vintage Bose 305s powered by a $40 Pyle mini-amp, but the system didn't fully come alive until I added a pair of $50, no-name bookshelf speakers that sound so good they may actually defy physics, actually seem to perform to the manufacturer's claim of a 40-18,000 Hz frequency response (and the 5" drivers actually keep oscillating down to about 18 Hz), and match my decorum's and RGB's color scheme of black and red. The entire setup cost around $700 and I would put it up against most any system under $5000 - my RTA says 22-19,000 Hz at +- 4.5 dB at 114 peak dB, and I hear little id any distortion, but then again I'm not an audiophile, just hobbyist.

    The 8” subs give better bass for scenes with helicopters or tight bass scenes or music. I have a 12” sub for my deep,deep bass and a 8”er. I like the purchase I made. When I listen to music I turn off the 12”er and leave the 8”er on. Tight even bass. My 8er is in the back of my room and my 12 is in the front by the towers. This system works.
    I had to 12”subs in my system. It sounded like sh&@&&. A trained audio ear told me to try the big sub and a small sub route.

      Do the sub placement trick for both subs in #1 and #2 ideal placements. Place sub at ear level in your listening sweet spot main seating position. Crawl around on the floor in your room until you find the two places where your sub sounds best. Place the sub in the two best spots you heard. For sub performance play at 40hz tone and crawl around with a mic and place the subs in the two loudest positions that also work with room aesthetics etc.

      Which is fine if your room is not too big for it. Or if you put in more of them. Something like these (or the smaller Rythmik Audio ones) for "bass redirection" for the speakers and then a couple of big ones for LFE would probably be ideal.
