I have been having fun getting back into audio (it's been 20 years - a few things have changed!). I am looking forward to getting a subwoofer for a 5.1/6.1 setup. I love the concept of the SV subs, and it sounds like they are a great way to go.
I really enjoy the low frequencies, so I would like to get as low as I can (in a budget). I don't plan to listen to anything at reference levels (I'm not sure if I'm up to calibrating at reference levels either!), so I don't need huge output. The room this will be used in is about 13x15x7, closed on 3 1/2 sides, so I'm not talking about a large space. The sub will fit perfectly in corner.
So, given all of that, what would be the difference between a 16-46CS and a 20-36CS+ with a port blocked to get to 16Hz? I understand the updated driver in the plus gives it more output, which I don't think I really need. I don't think the height of sub will deter me - after all, what would I put on top of it?
Do I understand this correctly? Any tips before I take the plunge?
Thanks,
Jami
