I didn't know they could be "blown" anywhere else. No speaker will take abuse...sometimes driven to distortion with underpowered receivers. As long as the speaker has a power rating that will accommodate your receiver...it's up to you to be more careful, regardless of the speakers you buy, even...

Right on....trying to extend the Bose with a different sub isn't worth the time or the expense....what do you have to loose by trying the above....it would be the easiest and safest way to improve the low end.

Agree....it's like asking which car would you prefer for towing, the one with push rods or the one with overhead cams....so many other factors to consider in a good car, a good speaker.

If the idea of a sub is to produce lower frequencies with authority...if all other things being equal ( a big if)....a 12" sub has more radiating surface area than two 8 " subs.....36 pi square inches vs 32 pi square inches. To compensate for the loss of radiating surface area, you would need...

IMHO...avoid inwall if at all possible...decor will change and so can your speaker requirements....good surrounds may require you reflect sound of two or more walls, tougher to do with inwall. Use some imagination to integrate them into the decor. Run the wire as needed.....then double what you...

Of course, I wasn't clear that I wasn't talking about the CC speaker itself...but better control of the bass in the CC range in signal coming from the reciever. Separate volume and bass freq. control discrete from the the main sub which can be tasked separately.

As a novice, I like to experiment, and I'm sure as others have done it too....I ran my center through a spare powered sub and have been very pleased with the results. Not that any substantial bass was added to the overall system, but I feel I have a little more control over CC bass with the...

My vote is for the Velodyne....if you think your Dayton is too boomy, I don't think you'll be disapointed. I'm not in mine.

IMO, it's more important in a well designed speaker system, how well the tweeter is integrated to produce the desired affect. Material I think is just one factor in the overall design and I would argue as important in the speaker it was crossed over from as well. I found out very quickly in...

I'm not the expert; but my son is , and he said a Velodyne, though not the best gives the most "low bang" for the buck....you may be looking at a used one, but they don't disapoint for the money. Earlier models are pretty basic looking but the sound is solid....that's what he said when he gave...

Thanks, I may look into it myself....am ready to replace my old Boston Acoustics and I need an excuse.

Quick question from a novice.....typical center with two horizontally mounted woofers, driving the same frequencies; Would they would have less horizontal dispersion than vertical mounts, making them less than ideal for mains, which tend to the "tower" configuration ? Option would be to mount...
