Subwoofer Question


Could having just one subwoofer (REL T/7x)with the crossover set around 60hz pull my image to the side that the sub is on?

Hi Loyd, Check out my virtual system. All the answers to your questions are there. Thank you! Im going to lower my crossover point. My speakers go down to 44Hz so I can go lower.

Yeah given the space and how you have the speakers set up in that doorway so to speak, moving sub to dead center isn't really an option. Now, if you run your system with the sub off, everything is dead center perfect balance? Have you measured your system's response with the left + sub vs right + sub to see if perhaps it's a phase issue on one speaker causing a null at a certain frequency? I've seen that before where sub is perfectly set for one speaker, but absolutely detrimental to the other channel. It's maddening. I'm sure there's an acceptable setup option available. Also try pulling your sub away from the corner a pinch. If it is not only located on one side, but is corner loading that side, it'll be exasperating those heightened frequencies. But worst case scenario there's always another REL t7 on sale somewhere....... lol.

 

Agree strongly with the comments above (a) to check phasing and (b) that the crossover is not a cliff. Confessed as the owner of stereo T7/x's

Yes as many have shared.  I have stereo subs with my 2 main systems.  A pair of subs with a pair of speakers in 2.2 setups.  Sounds like the subs and speakers are all in one, so I can’t pick out the subs location when listening.  A second properly placed sub should solve your issue.  Good luck!
