Sub-Woofer?
Why buy some beat up POS on Ebay? I think this sub will be a much better choice! https://www.svsound.com/products/sb-1000 |
Plus one on the JL Audio e110 powered subwoofer. I've had several, and sold every one of them. Beyond my pay grade and patience level to properly integrate a sub. System, room, patience, and skill limitations have caused me over the years to eschew the use of a sub......until I installed the JL Audio e110. All I wanted was a little extra oomph in the low frequencies because of my acoustically challenged room, which is large, misconfigured, and highly reflective (windows, tile, granite, hardwood, high ceilings, etc.). I did not expect this little sub to do what it does. In speaking with Randy at JL, a tremendous resource by the way, the e series was specifically designed to satisfy us old two channel only dinosaurs. Just to give a brief example of what I experienced: listened to Brown's Bag by renowned bassist Ray Brown (RIP) and I swore I could hear two double bass bass-lines coming through simultaneously: a deep rhythm refrain plus a higher pitched bass solo. Couldn't figure it out, how could a bassist play both the rhythm and the lead? Could it be done? Hell, I don't know! I read the liner notes on the album - of course! Over dub! So yes, he was playing both the rhythm and lead, but I'd never heard it so clearly before. Never really even thought about it before, but the point is the e110 made me hear it, made me figure it out. Of course Randy says two is better than one, but for now I'm plenty satisfied with one. Maybe later.
