Hrm, well I'm sure they will be nice. Most JL audio products are. But like alot of B&M brands there is equal quality products or near performance for 1/2-2/3 the price online. This thing is $7,500, you could buy 2 PB4+'s for that. The W7's can be matched by online companies like Adire's...
Yeah, I'm sure anything will make her happy. It will be her first home stereo, besides the Bose wave radio that she ALWAYS wants hooked up to her TV's. So she doesn't have much to compare it to. But, I refused to allow her to hook it up to her new Panny 47wx53. Gah, she always wants that dang...
Guesstimating here, but I'd say 30' x 20' with a open stairway going upstairs(splitlevel walk in). I'm sure she would think its fantastic the way it is, but I am curious if it would make an improvement anyway.
Could someone do a SAWM-40 type mod and throw in some poly-fil to deepen the extension of the included sub? Is the sub boomy or pretty musical? This looks like a great system for my mom.
Hrm, I have a 1500w amp and a Resonant Engineering HC15 in my Celica. My lungs are holding up just fine, although it sure does blur my vision. Course, it is setup for sq not spl:b
You don't need name brands to get quality. You do if you want a high price. JL and MB Quart are good, but you can find just as good and better(than MB Quart) for cheaper.
28-30hz I think would be good. I don't think too much music goes below 40hz even. Especially rock, but for that added umph that you crave. I'd go to 28-30hz. Others can chime in, but it was always my understanding that most bass in music was around 40-60hz. But, I've also been known to talk...
I think ported would give you the lowend your looking for and still save some spave over the Tempest. What to port it to? I have no idea, I always take advice for that area, instead of give it;) Check Adire's website or email their CS or Tech department. They could tell you what enclosure...
Keep it sealed and make your box larger. You don't necessarilly have to have it ported to go low although it does help. Sealed will be tighter but less efficient, but your looking for sq it seems to me and not spl so stick with sealed. It's all in the box, hell your Shiva should go just as...
I live in an apartment and I have a sub. I have never had a noise complaint yet. 1. A properly setup sub won't be as 'loud' to the neighbors. 2. Movies scenes are generally random bass and its not always hard hitting and repetitive like some music can be. The neighbors right next to me...
Someone told me they did that to there's. It sounds like it would make the enclosure stronger. I ask because for me it would be easier to go that route. Than to make some brace's, as I'm not very good with wood. I have the sawm500 btw. I have had it for a couple of months. Did the...
