    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.

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 may be a slight exception to the "I don't care how big your towers are" comment. Each of my tower speakers has 2 independent subwoofers, so 4 subwoofers on independent DSP and amplifier channels. (10" ported plus 12" PR.) It's inspired by the Genelec W371A. But it's all powered by one of your amps, so I think we're good.

    Hey I'm a newbie with all of this, and today, earlier I ordered this inexpensive Yamaha Sub, that was touted as one of the 5 best budget subs. It cost less than half of this, but I'm going to save up my money so I can have a better than decent sound system. I have a lot to learn, and I'm excited to learn more about Emotiva, which Randy over at CAM just loves your systems. If my present sub doesn't cut the mustard, then I'll just save and get this one. I have the Sony SSCS5 which has a great reputation and reviews for my budget, first budget system. Got a question...would those mini things work on other subs? And FYI, some of your links are dead.

  • @JustinCrediblename

    the moving mass is stopped by the non-ported interior volume of air in the subwoofer (kiss it goodbye if it's ported), and also by the mass of air against the cone, so you want greater cone surface area per unit of moving mass.

    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..

    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 Před 3 lety

      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.

    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

    From a two channel only perspective, would it make more sense to have two subs in the front (with the towers) or should the crossover frequency be set to mono if the subs are not parallel to the mains? Will you ears hear a difference for music?

    • @michaelwright1602
      @michaelwright1602 Před 2 lety +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.

    • @1337sim1
      @1337sim1 Před rokem +1

      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! ✌️

    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.

      @eubikedude Před 3 lety +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.

      @eubikedude Před 3 lety

      Yes. You can connect one or two of these between your sources and speakers no problem. They have "high level" inputs, so worst case you can just connect them by splitting the speaker cables. But you can most likely (and it's the better way) connect the sub where you normally feed your A100. i.e. from source output, to sub and then to the A100.

      It will, but also needs more amp power = more cost generally. It also gets harder to control tightly so you start needing DSP or other feedback system (like Rythmik audio use). Which also adds to the cost. This is a $300 sub. :)

      Eventually there will be a back wall or something that the sound hits unless the back of your room is a literal black hole. If you have a troubling space, we recommend looking up the Subwoofer Crawl and follow that strategy for finding the best locations for sub placement for optimal performance in your listening position.

      I bought one of these Emotiva 8" subs. I like it. I have paired it with my old 50 watt, 8" sub. I hope to tune the whole 5.1 + 1 system this weekend. So far I enjoy the extra bass with two subs. The couch shakes now! @Emotiva Audio, please answer my questions above.

    • @welderfixer
      @welderfixer Před 3 lety

      Now that I have had my Emotiva 8" sub and have tried it in a couple of places it really helps the bottom end. In an attempt to get even tighter punch I've laid it on it's side with the driver toward the room. Ummm - better so far. More testing to do while it is on it's side. Seems downward driver is not the way to go, at least on a fully carpeted floor.

    • @welderfixer
      @welderfixer Před 3 lety

      Well, I am no longer impressed with this sub. It's now just; "okay, I have a supposedly 200 watt sub". I would really like to test the plate amp to find out if it can make the 200 watts. I've been experimenting with placement in the room and the crossover settings in my receiver, but I just don't think I'm getting what Lonnie (in this video) says I can. I have been thinking about moving the driver from the bottom to the front and putting the passive radiator in the bottom. I may call Emotiva before doing this to find out if they have a good reason not to. If nothing helps, I'm gonna save up for a SVS PB1000 sub and maybe use this one as the second sub.

    • @welderfixer
      @welderfixer Před 3 lety +3

      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.

      You would have to have the subs in place to start and then do the famous subwoofer crawl to help find the nulls in the room to help you identify whats happening. Though, adding more subs would help cancel out these issues.

      Your seating area is probably in a giant null. I recommend doing the "subwoofer crawl" to try and point out a different location for your subwoofers to see if that fixes the issue.

  • @scott-richardson
    @scott-richardson Před 2 lety +2

    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?

    • @CMA1967
      @CMA1967 Před 2 lety +1

      I’d like to piggyback with this Q; adding a small sub such as this to a massive sub like this PSA (in an effort to eliminate nulls) wouldn’t room correction such as Dirac or Odyssey then weaken the stronger PSA while essentially seeing both subs as one?

    • @scott-richardson
      @scott-richardson Před 2 lety

      @@CMA1967 I would likely run my room correction software, so it could tune the speakers accordingly, but then tune the subs separately using MiniDSP and REW. I would use one sub out on the processor and then run that into the MiniDSP and then time align and gain match the various subs before EQ'ing them all as a single entity.

      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.
