It was a 50W sony sub. It was an in-a-box sort of thing so I don't see the model number anywhere. It only had a mono RCA input and a volume knob. It's cut-off frequency was 150 Hz, while the speakers it came with had a low end of only 160 Hz. I don't really get why Sony put those two together...

It WORKS!! :D :D :D . The speaker level setup is exactly what I needed. I turned the sub off on the reciever and did everything you said. It's amazing. I can't believe I've been missing out on so much! I will play with placement later, I have a very open room and there is only one real corner...

Im going to try the speaker level inputs on the sub. My reciever does not have a crossover knob, so the only thing I can use is the knob on the sub itself. I think this will do the trick because when I set it above 80Hz at the moment, I get an airy noise, but no real bass. So im thinking my...

Ok, OK, OK. After digging through all the manuels and specifications of my system, the satellite speakers I own have a frequency range of 160 Hz-20,000 Hz. Doesn't that mean that the crossover for the sub should be set to the max frequency ( which happens to be 160 Hz)?

ya, I know. :laugh:

I know, but my main speakers produce so little bass that there is a noticable difference with the sub turned off. That is why I set the crossover so high. But I always thought the crossover should be between 60 and 80 Hz instead of 110 to 120 Hz.

Is it normal to have a crossover frequency set at 115 Hz? I have it there right now and it seems to be fine. The main speakers are small and dont have much bass.

I moved my sub into the back corner with huge results. This is what my room looks like. The sub used to be under the front right speaker. It's is an acoustical mess, I know. The open space is a rail overlooking the downstairs. Maybe a thick curtain would help when I watch movies. I dont have...

I just got my Dayton 10'' subwoofer and I have no idea what I'm doing. I used to have a cheap sub with only the volume knob and one RCA input, but now there is a crossover knob, 0-180 degrees switch, volume, and all sorts of inputs and outputs. I got the sub working so I can hear it, but it's...

No, it wasn't at Circuit City. It's at CompUSA for $350.00, but that was way too much money for me...for now at least.

Well, after all that, I went with the Dayton. I was going to buy the MTX off ebay for $125, but after trying to sign up it said you have to be 18 to register ( 17 and 10 months :rolleyes:). The JBL E150P was nice but it all came down to the price. $143 shipped was too good a deal after the MTX...

What website did you find it at? Im still looking at this sub and I too would like to know if anyone has an opinion.

Well it looks like I might be going with something completly different. I found a Sony SA WM500 on sale for $170! With a 12'' driver and 150W, it's the best deal I could find. Anyone have thoughts on this sub? I have heard that Sony doesnt make the best quality subs, but I might be wrong.

How much are you asking?

Look in my post "Need More Bass". There are some good opinions in there and we are looking for pretty much the same thing. Fred K has the JBL 12 '' so he can probably tell you what he thinks!
