Anyone use a subwoofer system with YG Carmel

Anyone have success using a subwoofer with YG Carmel speakers? I am thinking a subwoofer if integrated correctly might add some volume and weight to the lower bass frequecny. Don't get me wrong the bass of the carmel is really good just that on some music material it would be better  to have a little more volume and weight at the lower bass frequencies.
Thanks.

Same advice as with any other speaker.  Subwoofers are children of the devil. Well integrated, fantastic, and few integrate them well.

What they are NOT is a plug and play solution.

Best,

I used a pair of REL Stadium subs but kept them set low just to add the lowest base as I had full range speakers. I did not use them with crossovers to keep the main signal intact. Many set them too high and too loud. They should be felt and not heard.

I don't understand why so many hate subwoofers.  Since bass is largely a room pressurization/depressurization effect, few speakers can compete with a subwoofer in this regard.  I have a JL Audio F113 subwoofer, and yes, it did take a little work to get it to blend in seamlessly with my single-driver speakers, but music doesn't have the same impact without it.  I cannot imagine music without it.  Well, yeah, a lot of music doesn't have low bass but I can hear some spatial cues that go missing when I turn the sub off.
