Home Theater Forum - View Single Post - WANTED: punchier bass for music, more of what I have for movies (SVS)

Sheldon, The response of the SVS is tailored to the really deep stuff. A PB2 (either model) that is putting out 100 dB at 30 Hz will typically be doing 98 dB at 40 Hz, and 105 dB at 20 Hz... A 3-4 dB boost in the 40 Hz band will give it that added "punch" in that area. Think Kick drums typically having a fundamental in the 40 Hz range, and Bass Guitar's low E being 42 Hz...

Can you do so with the pci you have now? Sure, but not with the ease of the box. Do you have an eq now ?
