Separate subs for music and HT/surround

    Oh Tim......you didnt......a surgeon......ur gross......i find this pathetic......i have to bow out of this exchange.

Hello kgveteran,

     ?...Wtf... ?  You've chosen to be a cowardly baby chicken?

I thought I had posted to this thread but I can’t find it.
So here goes my take on the subject.
With my 2 channel I use 4 JL Audio F-113 subs. With my home theater equipment it adds 4 more subs of various quality.

Yes, I believe with 2 channel audio the quality of the sub (s) matter. But with home theater you just need subs that can do deep for crashes, explosives and such.

Hello Ozzy,

     I didn't realize you're a 4-sub distributed bass array concept adherent on your 2-ch music system.  It seems like you  decided to try the 4-sub DBA concept out with a vengeance; employing four $4,000 JL F-113 very high quality subs in one's 2-ch music system not only represents the most impressive example of any custom 4-sub DBA system I'm currently aware of, it's also extremely cool. 
     Congrats!  I'm very interested in how you learned of the 4-sub DBA concept,  what convinced you to give it a try, why you decided to use such high quality/expensive subs, how much of a discount you got buying the 4 JLs and your overall DBA performance impressions in your room.  
     Oh yeah, I disagree with your comment about the quality of subs being more important on music than HT.  I believe using higher quality subs on both are easily discernable and improve performance.  I think you and most would likely agree with me if they swapped out lesser subs for JL F-113s in their music or HT systems.

Thanks,
 Tim

nobel100,

2 of the F-113's are used as Masters and 2 as slaves. 2 are V2 and 2 are V1. I purchased them individually until I accumulated the 4.

With Hometheater I am still using the JL Audio subs (via HT pass through on my Ayre Preamp). The Denon receiver adds another 4 other subs, M& K Sunfire, Outlaw Audio for a total of 8 subs.
