Tight bass sub recommendations

I have 2 more REL S3s put away for the 4 subwoofers effect. It can wait. My family is being kind as it is. Got them at a steal of a price. One day!!

That's the beauty of the Swarm approach. Because room reinforcement characteristics are so dominant, which sub matters much less than their number, location, and phase. And my understanding is, pretty much in that order. In other words four of just about anything beats one of just about anything. Especially if the four are optimally located, powered and phased. Might be a bit of an exaggeration or over generalization but this crowd being such a hard sell its warranted.

My set will use the same four 10" drivers, but in two different enclosures- two sealed and two ported. Plugging a port converts a cab into a sealed enclosure, making for three optional configurations. Together with placement and phase that is a huge amount of tuning flexibility and control!

The vast majority still do not appreciate what a game-changer this is. Which is good- I have a Talon Roc sub to sell! Depending on what that goes for this may turn out to be one of the most cost-effective upgrades ever!

color me fanboy but 2 built in subs and 11 bands of analog and variable Q and I have killer audiophile bass right at my listening position....and ha, IF I want to add two more I can....

and the transfer function function of my main amp shapes the whole shebang....

let me see..great  bass everywhere but no stereo image in that far left corner......yep, guess I should retreat to bose 901.....

the real power of a fantastically executed sub is threefold...

take the strain off the 80-100 hz and up drivers

power correct the amp driving the variable EQ and Q ( duh ) sub

optimize the high pass amp because it now nolonger deals with nasty back emf, etc....

your results may vary....
