In Reply to: Good start. Plan on adding a second sub in the future. nt posted by Mr. Dick Hertz on December 6, 2017 at 08:55:36:
if anything, i was tempted to get a single 8" sub. i don't need chest massaging bass, just to be able to HEAR it. if anything, too much bass gives me a headache. i know that big ported subs do.
i've spent MOST of my time with various systems without a sub and have been just fine. i've even gone a year or two with JUST NHT superzeros and not been troubled by any lack of bass.
i think that the "competition grade" dayton sub on my 500w plate will be overkill for my needs. maybe that's why i just can't wrap my head around the port loving crowd. to me, "little" maggie MG12s are the "ultimate subwoofers". they are so fast, detailed and free from resonances of any sort that i'd be happy with those as subs, and the lightning fast bass out of those little infinity minis is what turned me into an audiophile.
i'm all about quality of bass and probably prefer some rolloff. for the levels i'll be listening... not much louder than loud talking, but enough to cause neighbor issues in an apartment, if the bass is too light, i can just lower the crossover point and turn it up or otherwise boost it with EQ. i'm POSITIVE i'll be just fine with a single 10.
i was using a pair of 8 inch sealed celestion 2 ways and never felt the bass was lacking. heck, even my 6 1/2" JBLs were good enough, even though i liked their 5 1/4" little brothers more, but i made the compromise to go bigger so i'd have decent bass.
it must be that little bit of brit in my genes that makes me an "eye fi guy"
