RTI 10's with no sub??

Mike422

Hey guys, I was looking at the RTi10 speakers, they have two 7" woofers built in, just wondering if I really need a sub if I get these? Seems the built in woofers would do the trick, or am I wrong. (Not looking for earth shattering bass but a good punch would be nice) Any opinions or advice? Thanks!!!!!

ps: room size is about 35' X 15'

Depending on what amp/pre/AVR you have powering them, you may be satisfied. That said, you will benefit from a sub to augment the lowest of frequencies.

For HT, I would highly recommend adding a sub. For 2 channel music you could get away w/out a sub. It really comes down to how important capturing the low end of the frequency spectrum is to you. I'm a bass-aholic, so for me my sub is essential in squeezing out every last bit of low end bass from music and HT. I've even got a 10" sub in my truck because this is so important to me.

You can maximize the Rti10's by giving them an adequate amount of Clean watts, preferably 200 WPC from a seperate amp. I would start off with no sub and see if you are satisfied with HT and music with that.

Welcome to Club Polk. Rti10's do great bass.

With the size of your room, you'll need at least two kick **** subs.
