a sub in each corner

[qx56]

Anyone have a setup with four subs

[Joshjp]

I wish!!!!

Big Daddy has like 11 or 12 subs in his Home Theater room

You can get a world of information about multiple subs in the Sticky threads above started by Big Daddy.

BTW ~ I have 3 subs in my HT. A 8" ~ 12" & 15"

Just want to know what to expect when I get my four diys done. Although they will only be 12s. If anyone has gone From one to four was it all worth it? I'm hoping for a nother level of depth and that where is the sub sound. Also the extra headroom should be nice. They will be tuned quite abit lower than what I have now also. Thanks for the help merry Christmas.

Funny Tim you said budget subs. Svs is more than my budget allows. Good to hear your feed back. It's going to be a bit before mine are built but it should be worth the wiat. I hope it feeds my need.

I have four subs stacked in two stacks of two in the front corners. My room does not allow four corner placement. The ideal setup for four subs is one in each of the four wall midpoints (as per the Harman White Paper & Dr. Floyd E. Toole).

I've gone from two subs to adding two additional subs.
Being immersed in smooth articulate bass, in your HT, is worth every penny it takes, to upgrade to four subwoofers.
I'll never go back to just having two subs.

Hi qx56,

I,ve had 4 subs for 15yrs,15inch,18inch subs.I would recommend going for 2 large (18inch drivers) DIY with eq.With a big budget 4 subs are nice but better to work on other weak points in most system first.Front stage(L,C,R) amps,processor etc.

Agreed.

Placement is an art, not a science, and the best sound comes from many factors.

In my main theater I have five - a JL Audio Fathom F113, two JL Audio 12W3v3 in a custom ported box, and two DefTech Mythos ST units with built-in subs. None are in corners. Subwoofer performance is astounding.

It's a 7.1 setup, all speakers are DefTech Mythos, and it sounds right.

One sub in each corner is definitely going to be nice, but isn't a requirement for ideal sound. Not that it's a bad idea...

I have four budget subwoofers, with one in each corner of my room.
Each sub is positioned about 12 inches away from the wall.
That's to keep them from sounding "boomy."

It's amazing how Audyssey, with MultEQ XT32 and Sub EQ HT, seamlessly blended
my two ported and two sealed subwoofers together, in my room.
I'm now immersed in clean, tight, tuneful bass, whenever I watch a movie.

A quad subwoofer setup is the only way to go.

So I thought I would see if anyone else has added exta subs since this post has died.

I made the jump from two to four Mirage Prestige S-10's.

I thought I was happy with two................ I was wrong

Well I got a great deal on a epx2000. And getting 2 more 1260w's for Christmas so I will be ditching the plate amps and running the 2 front subs with one channel and the rear 2 with the other Channel. I should have them all going shortly after the first. I can't wait. Going from 400w to 2000w and a sub in each corner should be fun.

I have 2 JBL W15GTI competition car subs in my HT Below reference levels they induce the oh sh!t FACTOR. My goal is to get two more for my HT and pop the screws from my neighbors drywall.

[qx56]

Nice. What amp are you using?

[qx56]

So for anyone interested.... These things are pretty darn crazy. My son and I did the fan mod this morning and then calibrated all the new subs to the others and mains. The amp is a epx2000 that is running each channel at 2 ohm load. The new fans are 19 db 26cfm and the amp stayed cooler than my receiver durring the hulk movie. Useing the tones in the receiver I am 6 db hot but. When useing the Disney WOW. It claims I am 12db hot. But it sounds pretty balanced with the mains that hot. The 2 rows of seating in my room are now pretty close SPL wise. Before the new rear subs it was a lot louder on the front row. The amp is now running a single RCA in and set to mono. On the amp I set the rear subs 4 clicks lower that the front witch is at max. I have the subsonic filter at about 10hz and had no trouble with the hulk. No port noise, bottoming out or unloading. Never sounding stressed or being pushed to the max. The sound gun scene was great. The 50 cals sounded and felt amazing. Final fight scene was brutal. It pounded the hell out of my room and finally had that shake the hell out of you that I have been shooting for.I can finally say I am satisfied with the LFE in my room.

I love it when a plan comes together!!! Any new pics of the build and placement?
