Howdy,
2 questions, if anyone cares to help:
I see a lot of posts where people describe how their subs produce frequencies below the advertised specs - i.e. the spec says 25hz, but it produces 20hz, 18hz, etc. Is that normal, or does it take some special room configuration? I'm looking at an Adire Rava for the long wall of my 18x14 hardwood-floored room, next to the TV, and I'm wondering if I would get any response as low as 20Hz. I usually watch films at 20 to 30db below reference. (I listen to a lot of music, too, that's why I'm considering the Rava.)
Question 2: If I connect my speaker's L/R wires to the subwoofer instead of using the subwoofer cable, does that severely degrade my signal or use the receiver's power instead of the subwoofer's power? My receiver has a 100hz crossover and I'd like to use the sub to set that closer to 80hz, but not at the expense of significant performance reduction elsewhere.
Thanks,
Scott
