The antimode works great and will automatically calibrate your subwoofer within a few minutes. Lots of review on the web.

    How well does this work calibrating two subs? How many Polkies here use this ?

    Good question [with two subs]. That was my first though as well.

    Yes,yes, yes, you can use the 8033C with 2 subs. I was going to get one of these but ended up going with the newer 8033S a fellow Polkie sold me here. Someone needs to jump on this fast or it will be gone.They are great little units, so easy to use too.

    It works great calibrating two subs...my twin Velo's will attest to that. Jump on it, it's a phenominal piece.

    I thought I would answer the multiple subs question and this is what I had written in a PM-

    This will not calibrate the 2 subs separately- you will essentially use a splitter to connect the 2 subs- thats how I had my 2 eD subs connected.

    There is considerable discussion on the forums on whether calibrating 2 subs individually poses any significant advantages. The general thinking is that the 2 subs are going to interact anyway (I am assuming you have them both in the same area), so might as well save yourself the hassle and calibrate the final output.

    I myself tried calibrating the 2 subs separately with a behringer and finally threw in the towel and calibrated the final output. Especially if you are prone to moving the sub around, you will find calibrating the final output to be a time-saver.

    I don't want to belittle the merits of indiv calibration, but like stereo subs, you might want to consider if the final results would be incrementally better.

    One more thing- I thought I had the 8033C, but I see that the box says 8033- just in case that makes a difference.

    So do you guys hook up the two subs with a y splitter on the 0 phase output of the 8033c or should you hook one sub to the 0 phase and the other sub to the 180 phase and then set the phase on that sub to 180(the one connected to the 180 phase output).Which would work best:confused:

    My NAD T765 AVR has dual sub outs so I use a Y splitter & run a single cable into the 8033's "line in". Then a single cable from the 8033's 0degree out to one sub & set it's phase to 0. Then another cable from the 8033's 180degree out to the other sub & set it's phase at 180. Calibrate & enjoy!!!!! Very powerful test tones so be careful with the volumn. It can sound like your house foundation is about to collapse!!!

    I have the Anti Mode and do 4 subs with one unit. My room is over 6000+ cu ft and the Anti Mode does the job.

    I have this model and it's been doing a phenomenal job EQ'ing my sub. Doesn't get any easier than this.

    How do you hook up the outputs of the Anti-Mode to the 4 subs?
    In other words...Are 2 subs hooked to the 0 phase, & the other 2 hooked to the 180 phase?

    And if so, does the sub placement affect which subs are on what phase?

    Here goes your answer:

    A_c90dc4f769.gif
    A single 8033 can easily correct even four subwoofers, when 180 degree output is utilized with two additional Y-cables. Although similar configuration could be achieved by splitting the signal of a single output into 4 identical outputs (via for example 3 Y-cables), the presented configuration here is recommended because of the output impedance.

    You can also set up four subs with Y splitters in a daisy chain one to the other.

    The S version has 2 inputs for "S"tereo :wink:. So since his only has one in and 2 outs, it makes it the C version

    Also, if you use the "C" version in a 2-channel setup or via L/R inputs, you need a summing cable adapter - you can not use a simple "Y" adaptor for L/R outputs to a single input to the "C".

    And the summing cable ain't cheap....

    This for stereo on the mains correct? For LFE subs, a "Y" adapter is just fine on the out.

    Correct, or for an older AVR or receiver that does not have dedicated sub out and you had to use L/R outputs from the AVR/receiver/amp/thingy...:wink:

    Hey bsoko2, I have one Epik Empire and one Legend. Since you have the Epik Empires what did you notice in improvement when you calibrated your subs with this antimode? Did you notice a big improvement? Quad Empires,
    that is crazy.....but nice:tongue: Thanks!

    I once owned a SMS-1 and manually dialed in my system and it never sounded better. I should have left it alone but I found myself trying to tweak a little more out of it all the time and ended up loosing what I had found.

    The Antimode will probably be a good fit for me..........set and you get what you get.

    Well gwh, you just scored an excellent sub eq. I've got the same unit and having been using it on my JL Audio Fathom for some months now and Love it! My SMS-1 is sittin' in the closet. The 8033 takes the sub to a whole new level, even better than the auto eq that comes built into the Fathom.

    It is however, not very tweakable. You can do a little, but no where near the tweakage you can do with the sms. I'm not big on tweaking, so it was a perfect solution for me, plus I thought the sound quality was cleaner and tighter than the sms. YMMV
