twin polk dswpro600 in a 3400sqft room

SlowcarIX

I went from 1 to 2 600s a week ago and has since moved them around ~8 times in the room :eek: and finally found the best place to put them. They go deep! On a few scenes in the movie Incredibles, the subs set every air molecule in the room in motion!

That's awesome!

Ya get 2 SVSPB12+2s or 2 SVSPB13ultras and you will have found heaven on Earth. Nice setup you have gone this far might as well go the exta MILE!!:eek:

dorokusai

Stick with what you got. If you're pressurizing the listening area, you have enough subwoofer.

toddco

This is true but its nice to get down to 10-or 16hz and know you not missing anything again nice setup.

for 2 SVS, i can get 4 600s...

i moved the polk subs around the room for a whole week, putting them in all possible combinations - as a pair, in diagonal corner, stacked, side/side, and i can conclude that even if you have the best sub, and your placement is not good, you will not get the most out of them

3400 square feet is huge room. If you do the math then the room is almost 60 feet wide by 55 feet long. That is almost as big as a movie theater. You must have a huge house to have a room that big.

jakelm

Slow, how do you have them xo'd with your LSi's?

speakergeek

Wow! Your room is bigger than my whole house.

You think he might have meant 3400 cubic feet. :rolleyes:

Mr. Mojo

I think he meant 340 sq feet.

Agreed.

I think it's obvious it's not square feet.

Gotcha. That's more reasonable.

That is an insane set up. The subs sure look intimidating.

One question...what are the bookshelves in the front for?

jimi64

Those bookshelves are used as (presence) speakers,which is a DSP option on the Yamaha receivers.

Yup, Yamaha has been doing the 7.1 thing since the 90's I think, and it was/is a good system. My Yamaha Natural Sounds 7.1 had those and they were really a nice upgrade from the regular 5.1. They can also be mounted on the side walls I think with the surrounds behind you.

BTW: I was looking at that picture with the 3400sq/ft quote and measuring up the front wall as about 8' across like he said. I was excited at that point, because it meant his room was 8' wide and 425' long; AWESOME. And as always, reality is so much less fun.

My next step would be adding the velodyne SMS-1 to further enhance your LFE.

i can feel optimus prime's voice...dont think i have issues w/ LFE...i think

dorokusai

You don't.

SlowcarIX

Just wondering...does the velo sms-1 solve problems associated with poor sub placement, ie standing waves and cancellation?

my room is square 20' x 20' and i got a "line" of standing wave 5' to the right of my listening position going from front/back of the room?

green = line of standing wave
red = stacked 600

Pepi28

The only thing I would change with your setup is your center speaker. You should get an LSiC to match the fronts. Great system though.

SlowcarIX

i'll replace the LSiC and also upgrade the 2 to a 3 channel icepower amp

Lol, You gotta love D-SOnic amps. Ice power amps in general are really good.

speakergeek

Have you tried placing the subs in the left corner? Just to see how it sounds?
