I just moved into a new home and have setup my system and it sounds great with the exception that my bass is now straining somewhat and a little thin.
I have considered going DIY but may want to purchase something now to immediately help the situation.
The theater is set in a finished basement that shares a kitchen, dining area, bar and kids play area. The volume of space the sub has to fill is about 2,300 sq ft.
My setup is all Klipsch reference speakers. I have a yamaha RX-Z1 as a pre/pro and a 150wpc amp. we sit about 15 feet from the speakers, both mains and surrounds. The sub (KSW 15) was good in my old setup but it now sits in a corner on a knee wall facing the opposite direction.
When I crank the system I have to put so much gain into the sub that it just cannot keep up and vibrates/rattles horribly.
My thought is to purchase a sub in the $600 to $800 dollar range and move the KSW 15 to the back and turn down it's gain.
It seems that SVS has some good subs in that range. Sunfire 10" true subs can be had on ebay for that price also.
Who should I be thinking about as well? Other suggestions gladly taken.
Thanks for your time.
