Dual Subwoofer's for Theater and Music ?

[Jonniebravo]

I have 2 Tempest-X 15" subwoofers. In a room 12'W x 24'D x 8'H, would two 15" sub's be to much.....Jon

[ThomasW]

No, IMO two would be just right.... :T








to get you started ......... :B

I've spent a lot of time In the room and there Is no space at all for IB,so I believe sealed Is the direction I'm headed,Very Large...Jon

[ThomasW]

Kevin's 160L sealed looks pretty good. Room-gain should fill in the bottom end nicely...

You can't have "too much" subwoofer. You can turn it up too loud, but there's no such thing as excess CAPACITY when it comes to LFE.

Err, well, I suppose it's possible, but not likely. If you get some of those crowd control devices that play sub-audio frequencies so low that they make you spontaneously vomit, that, is excess, I suppose.

Oh, and if you got a pair of those uber subs with the fan blades that adjust the pitch with motors to accomplish bass output, that could be excessive too.

[Jonniebravo]

If I build two subs at 160L sealed and place them In the front corners of the theater, what designs offered In the Completed build's would match up well with the sub's ? I don't know If I'll complete my Large RS towers after considering crossover cost. I have the Dayton drivers In evey size,so I could go In any direction...Jon

Since your sub-bass is more then covered, you really just need something with good mid bass. Maybe the RS TMWW (sealed), or the Khanspires?

[Jonniebravo]

I don't know,perhap's the smaller RS WWMT...Jon

Haha you had me rolling with this comment! :rofl:

[Jonniebravo]

Being In a position of building two sub's and possibly two new towers, has anyone designed something incorporating both the sub and the tower? Corner placement and acoustic loading taken Into account...Jon

[Jonniebravo]

Perhaps a pair of Natalie P's or Modula's up front.....Jon

[ThomasW]

Like the majority of speakers the NatP or Modula are designed to be placed ~24" away from any boundry.

Placing a speaker in a corner creates a situation where the crossover needs to be modified.

[Jonniebravo]

I would like to take advantage of or tailor my speakers to the room. The situation Is that I'm unable to evaluate or measure room responses In the way you guy's are able to. In the low end ,I would like to utilize the coupling properties of close bountry effects for bass, yet find a way to keep mid's unaffected. Given the T/S Info for the Dayton drivers I plan to use, exact room size, and exact placement of one of the proven designs on the site, would It be possable to get help designing or modeling something for my room?...Jon

[ThomasW]

Given the T/S Info for the Dayton drivers I plan to use,

What drivers are you planning on using?

Post a graphic of the floorplan including the placement of all the furniture, speaker locations etc.

[Jonniebravo]

I'll try to post that Info this evening,thanks....Jon
