Subwoofer for Nola Boxer

I recently put a small second system up that consists of a Bryston 2B-LP Pro, Acurus RL11 and Nola Boxers. I would like to add just a tad of bottom end. Any suggestions for a compatible Sub? Something with a small foot print and medium power. Thanks.

I recall thinking the Boxer was a great sounding Nola speaker, so kudos on owning a pair.

I also run with SVS subs in my audio only setup and am using three, two SB-2000s and one SB-3000, all crossed at 50Hz in my 20x17x10 room with two openings. I’d like another one for four, and again, it’s not for sound volume. (My now removed REL B1 had way more than enough of that.)

Rocray has it right. The concept is Distributed Bass Array (DBA) and it works. My rather good REL Britannia B1 was run solo for audio but has now been removed from the audio area since the three SVS are better.

Set up properly, ultra-low bass is invisible; you’ll have a more open soundstage and the ability to hear the very lowest notes you didn’t hear before. Four decent $500+? subs will sound better than a good single sub always.

I would still recommend SVS for an inexpensive and nice little sub and I’m sure the SB-1000 Pro is a fine sub for those Boxers if set up properly for the primary listening position. Good luck on your quest!

Thanks for your input. The more that I hear about the SVS SB-1000, the more that I like it. I am using an Acurus RL-11 pre, so I am assuming that I will be using one of the pre outs for a sub.

Does anyone here know how to run a sub out from the Acurus RL11? Would I use one of the pre outs to the rca's on the sub?

There are two inputs on the sub and two outputs on the preamp so use them both on each.

Thanks! I have never even used a sub! Most of past speakers and amps had plenty of power!
