Subwoofer hunt

Hi ;I have had focal speakers different types for the last 15 years,  also  have 2 JL Audio E10 subs  Seemless love them Just upgraded to Wilson Audio speakers waiting for them to arrive. And will keep the JL subs.  Have had quite a few subs including Focal subs and you cant beat JL Audio for subs.

FWIW, I own Rythmiks and believe they are very good. I used to have REL Storm, and don't regret the change one bit. Rythmiks are very tight and I have them in a sealed cabinet, plus their servo seems to work really well. They also are very flexible setup-wise.

Are JL Fantom better? Most likely, as you would expect given the price difference. But two Rythmiks is better than one JL in my opinion.

I tried them with the full range speakers running full range and the subs supplementing the low end, also crossing over the mains with the Rythmiks plate XO,  and currently with external digital crossovers and each step was an improvement.

The 12" is going to be enough. Yet I suggest going with the 15".

SVS and USU are "OK"... REL makes a far better sounding subwoofer for music.  Try and get it used.  For a home theater setup, the JL stuff is great.

Don't EVER hook up your main speakers THROUGH a subwoofer - the sound will suffer.... let the speakers roll off naturally.  Most of the filters in subwoofers are not that great to begin with and you are just adding another connection point and more speaker cables.
