lol, this thread is way off topic now, but I got my subs so lets play.
I listen on average between 90-95db.
The PB-1000 is significantly larger in size than the SB-1000.
The room size is 16x30. The speakers are placed on the 16 side, and I sit about 11 feet away from the speakers. The SB are located right under the main, 6" from the wall.
The SB-1000 are set to about 65Hz to blend, zero phase, 60% volume. I’ve always found very clean and articulate bass at this current settings, and anytime I’ve made an adjustment, I’ve dialed it back to these.
First test just running one additional sub (3), placed on the left side besides my seat, set at 60Hz, played with gain to peak bass, and 60% volume. The biggest difference is an increased amount of headroom, the speakers felt slightly larger. It blends well in this position, but you can feel the physical bass being directional. That feeling makes you slightly detract from listening.
Second test, quad sub, placed along side seating position against the wall. Similar settings, but with 45% volume, because the wall gives it a boost. I get a nice spacial balance, but I could not get them to blend in this position. At those settings, I got a bit of harshness in the low regions.
I finish the evening with using one additional sub, as I got tired, and just wanted to listen to music.
I think I have to lower the crossover point when running dual tonight, and see how that goes.
