I've been reading up on people using mid-bass modules (bass bins?) to provide that extra oomph in the 50-150hz range. I was gifted an RSS265HF-4 and RSS390HO-4 to play around with from a friend. After looking up builds using the RSS390HO's, I found engr_dave's thread on his quad sealed RSS's (https://www.htguide.com/forum/showth...-Assault-on-SQ). He mentioned in his post that he noticed there was a lot of bass coming through the left and right front channels rather than the LFE channel - something I've noticed too.
The GF and I watch movies and listen to music fairly evenly split, but we like watching concert blurays the most. I noticed a lot of these mixes also put a lot of bass emphasis on the left and right channels. While we definitely lack nothing on the LFE channel, I feel like I could improve the mid-bass on the left and right channel - missing that chest vibrating feeling you get at live concerts (kick drums, gun shots, etc...).
I currently run ported Statements for my LCR, but am going to switch to sealed for the new boxes which I am going to start in the next few weeks. This got me thinking, if I build the smaller sealed versions that need stands, would it be worthwhile to use sealed mid-bass modules/bass bins as the stands? Thinking I could use an active crossover to split each channel into 2, one for the MBM and one for the speaker crossed maybe around 150hz with a really steep slope.
If I'm on a constructive track, I was looking at the RSS series subs since they are the SW brother to the RS225's. Thoughts?
