Adding a second sub

Well what I am thinking is that I have been looking for a set of NHT 2.5I or 2.9 to no avail.I could just use the subs as a bottom end to the 1.5's and have basicly a 2.5 speaker.

>>some people are just so very knowledgeable...dwhitt<<

And some aren't as evidenced by your posts.

It is seldom a good idea to spend equal amounts on each component.

Actually, a disproportionate percentage of available funds should be spent on speakers. Perhaps as much as 50%.

Your recommendation is fraught with bad information and inexperience.

Dwhitt,
I suggest you do some reading of existing topics on this Forum before displaying your ignorance?
There are posters here who actually know something about what they write.

glad this is going so well, i know, i must admit, i am such an ignorant one, as shown by your responses, a wise man once said....i suggest you do some reading of existing topics on this forum before displaying your ignorance? that is real good halcro, you might want to check out your ears, just because you are smart doesn't mean you are right..dwhitt

Dwhitt, Consider that your post gave unasked for advise that had nothing to do with the question, denegraded the posters equipment, AND was not responsive in any manner. Try to be helpful next time out, not just an audio oracle.

You could have said "Yes, you could probably connect two sub systems by simply splitting the signal from its source between the two sub systems (the reciever?) using a pair of 'Y' IC's. If your signal is coming from the speakers though, I'm not so sure and you might like to ask the manufacturer."

At least that is what I would have done. Oh, I guess I did, didn't I. :-)

And I would add, that the obtaining a second sub might help smooth out the bass because you would have a lot more flexibility of placement of the subs to compensate for room problems than just having one to achieve that. You could flatten out nodes, fill in nulls, have better sounding bass, but would not really get bigger bass SPL's other than the doubling of SPL's (i.e. 3db) by adding a seperate identical sub.

But I'm Newbee, what the hell do I know. Get a loan and buy a lot of new expensive equipment so you can learn to deal with more expensive problems! :-)
