      How do u like it? I just bought a set of nines and will be getting this subwoofer tomorrow as well. It was on sale on Amazon for 399.00 so I snapped it up!! Will be using it with my pc along with a set.of kanto tuk's. I use a 43 inch LG C2 oled as my monitor, so games and movies!

    Do they actually hit below 29 hz with authority? I have a pair of r120's they roll off hard after 29 hz

      I've never measured it but I'm still pretty pleased with them. If you're looking for sound with that signature "punch" get one that is not ported, but sealed.

    I got 2 of them, love them but the only problem i'm having and can not figure it out is why in some parts of the movie the bass is toooo much, i dont know what do i have to adjust. Gain is half (12 o'clock) and on my AV is -11db

    • @MovieUniversity
      @MovieUniversity  Před rokem +1

      I would suspect that has more to do with the audio file encoded with what you're watching versus the subwoofer itself.

      @@abesandoval1024 haha. i think it's a combination of things.
      1) i haven't watched 2049 in a few years but that movie is bass heavy from my memory so it is indeed "supposed" to sound like that
      2) zooming out a bit, the audio guys intentionally mix movies for theatrical releases because that's what the directors want. The dynamic range (or the loudest to quietest range the sounds makes) is not adjusted for home sound systems thus you're hearing a mix that's designed to be heard in a massive auditorium with big speakers and sound insulation.
      In my opinion Nolan movies are the worst.

      Why using two sub woofers ?
      Do we really need 2 sub woofers if the room is just 20ft wide and broad and 25ft high ?

    It's the Best Deal now at $599 on Amazon. But if you spending $1,200 the REL Predator 15" or Definitive Technology DN15 with 3XR or 3 Woofers & HSU 15" the King, All are $1200 and high end shake the neighbor's house not just your house at real high quality 20HZ. It's like you want the Car's Jr $8 Burger or the $20 Steakhouse Burger..... For a house party or playing Rap & Rock music just get the Klipsch SPL 15. So SPL is the Higher End Klipsch and it's still a Budget Subwoofer for being 15". I know they have a 14" and 16" as the Expensive Klipsch but you can't compare to HSU and REL.

      Define high end. Because there are differences of opinion on what constitutes high end.
