Your sub experience: Easy or hard?

I just put a REL 9 into my system and it was fun. LD let me demo SVS and REL. The only thing hard was determining whether to go with 2 small subs or 1 big one. I decided to blow current budget on one big one and then scrape cash until i could afford to get a 2nd unit.  Only regret is I did not demo 2 smaller units.

I would say the degree of difficulty for me was moderate.

Subs are a pain in the pitootie. Adjusting it so it sensed not heard means that you have to unplug it (no power switch) to do a comparison...so I bought a second one???  The first configuration left and right of center just wasn't right  Lots of muddy overbearing bass.  They are currently stacked and turned way down.  I'm pairing them with high efficiency speakers and the gain curve  of the speakers doesn't exactly match the subs so they're set to work best at a specific volume.

The biggest issue is the recordings.  The amount of bass energy from one recording to the next is exaggerated with the subs. Depending on the track used to set them, the next tracks have way to much or way to little. 

That being said "Poema" by Eduardo Niebla • Antonio Forcione is way to much fun to be without them.

I’ve had Rel subs for 20 years and have never had any issue integrating them.

Now on another note, What are "DBA people"

DBA = double Blind A**holes

Don’t burp at all, Ditch bunny assoc, dirt build assembly?????????

I Hate anagrams because they are used W a a a y too much

 Presumably: Distributed Bass Array
