(currently powers the eight 16-46s)
I run dual PB2+'s and thought that was enough headroom. How your head has not exploded Scanners style is beyond me.

Thanks for the warning pal...but am already been blamed by local authorities for having something to do with seismic activities whenever I fire up the "big" HT system...well...just to put your mind at ease, I also have 2 B4s. Needless to say, I'm not very popular in my neighborhood......unless some of my neigbors are over watching a movie, of course. But let me speak from experience here......You're going to love it!
One thing though. I started out with one Crown K2 that fired both units. Recently, I bought another one and I can truthfully say that having a dedicated amp for each sub is better.....if that helps.
About the photos. It's pretty easy to do the download. If your daughter is into computers, I'm sure she'll know how to do it when the time comes.

We then watched Peter Pan and were equally impressed with the LFE reproduced by the sub. Knocks, kicks, and impacts were FELT in addition to being heard.Seriously....Peter Pan? Is this movie bass worthy. If it is, I'll rent it next chance I get.

1) You probably have increased risk of standing waves with the sub out in the room, so the response will probably tend to be rather erratic depending on the listening position. 2) The sound level will vary much more than would be ideal, since moving only a couple feet will have a significant change in relative distance from the sub.
How do I measure or identify standing waves?
The Peter Pan I am referring to was released this past Christmas by Universal. (directed by P.J. Hogan. Written by Hogan and Michael Goldenberg, starring Jason Isaacs, Jeremy Sumpter, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Lynn Redgrave ...)cool!....I'll check it out this w'end.

A bump for this very informative review about the excellent SVS PB2-Plus subwoofer.Thanks, Lee. This is definitely one I would like to update with the current objective test methods I use in my Secrets reviews.
Failing that, there is a similar test on the PB12-Plus with the older dB12.1 woofers at AVTalk.

104 dB @ 20 Hz on the sweep - wow. Even the $8,000 quad woofer Genelec HTS6 couldn't do any better.
I would expect the dB12.2 woofers to squeeze out another 1-2 dB with much lower distortion that what AVTalk shows with the dB12.1.
