If 2 subs are good, and 4 even better, what do you call 9? - Blu-ray Forum

theJman · 09-01-2012, 06:38 PM

I call it my living room! This is what it looks like in my house right now:

About a year ago I said to myself "ya know, I want to see what it's like to evaluate subwoofers". Seemed harmless enough at the time, but I should have known better; between my inherent tenacity, and being type A to begin with, this is how it turned out. That's not all of them either; I have three others boxed up waiting for call tags so I can send them back. For those counting that's an even dozen subwoofers, and that doesn't include the ones I've already reviewed and sent back. Well, sort of; three of them in the picture I have reviewed, two of which I now own. I also own a third sub, which is among them as well, but I'm not telling which it is. Yup, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

And before anyone asks... no, my living room is not where I store them. I have a spare bedroom that I use as a staging area, but it was too small for me to line up that many subwoofers and get a picture - I just couldn't back up far enough.

So how about a little contest? Think you know your subwoofers? Can you guess what they are? See if you can at least get all the manufacturers, or if you're feeling brave go for the model too. Betcha no one gets every one of them...

I see a XV15 there, last one in the back row.

I currently have 13 at my house and unfortunately I do no reviews

See sig for current subs.

You have a bakers dozen?? At least I have an excuse for having that many subs.

All but 3 are going back too, because they aren't mine. You need medicine I'm afraid, or at least a 10 step program...

Almadacr · 09-01-2012, 10:09 PM

I know at least 3

the others i would cheat

Raynist · 09-01-2012, 11:09 PM

whats the one with all the weird bits on the top?

Big Daddy · 09-02-2012, 01:35 AM

Studies have shown that it is best to have an even number of subwoofers. Nine will not work. You should immediately purchase the 10th one. That is an order.

I have twelve subwoofers in my home theater. I also have twelve speakers. You can say my system is 12.12. Dolby and DTS are behind.

If I divulged that it would defeat the purpose of the contest. You have to figure it out.

If you had a Krell Evolution 707 3D Surround Processor, you could hook up
eight of those subs, using y-connectors. The 707 has four subwoofer outputs.

I would love to "experience" the train crash/derailment scene, from the movie Super 8, in your HT.

I rescind my photo then - it pales in comparison...

Which sub is your favorite? Is it really the Power sound? And why?

Nope, not a Jamo. I'll give you a big hint though; the company who manufacturers it has an ocean in their name.

BTW; when did I say the PSA sub was my favorite?
