Subwoofer : Front Or Down Firing For Musicality ?

Don't worry about which way it fires. I don't know what your budget is but I'd get the best single sub I could first and save for the second. That's what I'm doing now. Those little Velodyne's can easily be outperformed by other subs for the same money. Please do some research. For 500 bucks or so you can get a decent used M&K or my favorite Vmps. I have to qualify that last statement that I'm also a part time dealer for Vmps. Do some research on your own and you'll see it's great advice. Just be aware there's alot of subs and some are better at music than others. Also alot of subs that are excellent can be purchased used. I've heard those little Velodyne's in two places, a friends and my brother. In both cases they were very disappointed after hearing my sub.

Forgot to add that both my brother and friend ended up buying Vmps subs. Those M&K's are very good deals imo also. They're musical and for 5-600 bucks a bargain. Let everyone know your budget and no doubt more good recommendations can follow.

Go with two subs. You'll never look back. Find a pro to help you set them up with testing equipment. Otherwise you'll never get the best out of your money or system. I chose the Revel Sub 30s because they are B15s on steroids. And I new they would complement my Salons. The Sub 30s have a forward 15" woofer and 15" downward fireing passive radiator with 3 parametric equalizers. Look up Adidadi for a good deal and see my if you want to see what the pro version without the wood panels cost. They are about half what the premium finished Sub 30s cost, and still look great I think.

Sgr, you don't get enough low end with those Salons? Still require 2 muhtha subs? I thought the Revels were good to go to 20Hz? warren

Downfiring subs can really fire up your downstairs neighbors.
