DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 ii works wonders with my new sub

I have a new SVS sb2000 that I got dialed in about 95% (2 channel music) to where I could not determine sub location. I was really happy. Problem was, wife was not happy about the location. So i placed the sub back in the corner behind the left speaker and ordered the Anti-mode at the suggestion of a fellow 'Goner. All I can say is wow. The sub, in the corner where it was boomy and too blossomed before, is perfect. I like a bit louder bass than most. With the Anti-mode, I can be a bit bass heavy without the "boominess". Bass is very tight 
I'm adding a second sub in a month or so, so I can use the 8033ii for a stereo sub set up as well. 

I highly suggest this product!!

Whart is 100% correct (as was I ;-). You can run two subs off the 8033, but both may receive only the same A + B (summed mono) signal, not separate left or right (stereo) ones. At $500, go for the 2.0 Dual Core.

Dual mono is also preferable as it produces a smoother equalization. At such low frequencies sound is omnidirectional in any case.

Ahh..thanks. Yes, the manual suggests a y cable or switching phase at other sub. Plus, the manual suggests doing dual mono for more balanced tone. I would hate to spend another $500 for a dual core. I'm not certain what the 8033ii would bring in the used market

So you don't need a second 8033 or a dual core. Since you can invert phase on the SB2000 you do not even have to get a Y cable.

I picked up a Dual Core Anti Mode second hand and I'm awaiting it's delivery (today, in fact).

I have Thiel 2.7 speakers I'm looking to augment with my two new JL 110E subs (I made a thread about it).  I hate the look of subwoofers, though went with 2 as that is most often advised.  Right now both are along the front wall a couple feet behind each Thiel speaker.  But I'm hoping to put one of them behind my listening sofa, essentially using a diagonal dual sub set up (one of the set ups recommended by JL Audio).

So I'm hoping the Anti-Mode will help get a seamless blend and reduce the likelihood of being able to localize the sound in the subs.
