I would say yes on the Poly-Fill - The damping spray (which BTW I never did) will slow down the thin MDF vibrations but I think you will also need the Poly-fill to change the internal accustic signiture of the enclosure. I also noticed in your other post that you installed a stiffener bar...

Kevin - Before I bought my SVS I had a Sony WM40 that I applied all the mods to and they all seemed to improve the performance somewhat... Yes - I applied three thin coats of Mod Podge to the front of the cone and two thin coats to the entire rear side of the cone. I know, I know...

I had/have a Sony SAWM-40 Sub, but I needed more so I bought a SVS PB1-ISD. I promised my Sony sub to a friend when she got her system up and running. Well - in the mean time I've been running my new SVS on one side of my HT room and the Sony on the other side for a two sub system. I've...

When you connect your subwoofer to the receiver try setting all of the speakers (especially the Fronts to small,or s). That should direct all of the low frequencies below the bass management cutoff to your sub. If you are happy connecting the DVD LF output to your sub and choose to leave your...

Yeah - I remember the "no speaker grill" fad from the 70's. I even participated for years. Of course the speakers back then were a far cry from what they are now and needed every bit of help they could get and removing the poorly designed grill cloth helped a lot. I think that todays...

Jarvis - It depends on your setup. I set my AVR for all speakers in my system to be SMALL and the xover set a 80HZ. The sub does all of the LF work. This accomplishes a couple of things, (1) the main amp doesn't need to work as hard driving the power hungry low freqs - that allows it to...

I would offer this opinion. Since you already have the PSW450 sub, you might consider choosing the RTi70's instead of the RTi100's. The 70's are less expensive and since the sub is going to do all the LF work you really don't need the 2 bass drivers that the 100's have, and the 70's do sound...

Brett- Good Idea on the bracing (slaps forehead saying "why didn't I think of that!"). Kevin if you are buying these spikes from Parts Express, I'll tell you what I just did. Last nite I decided to install them, even though I just ordered a new sub. I found that the internal location of...

I'm another one soon to join the club.... Just ordered my SVS PB1-ISD two days ago, got lucky and squeazed in before the backorders. I also am replacing a Sony SA-WM40. Excitedly waiting........ Receiver: Pioneer Elite 45TX Fronts: Polk RTi70 Center: Polk CSi40 Surround: Polk...

Kevin - No you don't have to spray the adhesive, I just did it because I had some spray adhesive at the house and I figured it would remove any possiblity of the poly-fil loosening up and falling into the back of the speaker. BTW, make sure you keep the internal tuning port opening clear of...

You might try the MODPODGE treatment, doesn't fo much for the boominess but does seem to tighten up the bass a bit.... I bought this same model as an inexpensive sub. For 125 bucks I was not expecting nor did I get SVS or HSU performance. At very loud levels I did find the audio...
