You better have an extremely effective SSF if you are going to use a 32Hz tune and watch movies.  Normally for a theater box you tune closer to 12Hz than 30.  There will be a ton of effects in movies that are WAY below your tuning.


allright, well i guess i'd just use it for music then and bring the subwoofer that came with the HTIB for the few occasions i watch a movie with this system.

One more question that I should have asked in my last post. Is this going to be used for music or movies?

The other thing to consider is putting the subs each in their own box and spreading them out will help to even out room modes. If you are going to put them back in a car at some point it might not be worth while to worry about. If this is just a temp thing the proaudio amps should have better resale value than most audio stuff.

i haven't decided if it will go back in a car at some point or not, but i think i'd like to keep it in the same box.... mainly because i don't have time now to build one (much less 4) new boxes.

as far as use.... it will be used mainly for music which is why the (approx) 32 hz tuning should work but hopefully its low enough that if i do watch a movie with it, it'll sound decent. what do you think?

What kind box do you have the subs in? A new box might help. Also Crown has a amp that you should look at. It is about the same price and the xo can be setup by your pc.


ill have to look into that amp and the box is the one in my signature... its a ported box, roughly 4 cu. ft. if i recall and tuned to 31-32hz

all right thanks guys, so i would see about 325 watts per sub? that'd be perfect.

Personally I would go for something like THIS and run it 2ohm per channel.


how could you wire that so that each channel was 2-0hm if there are 4 subs and they are all 4-ohm single voice coil? unless I'm missing something, that isn't possible
