PSW650 SOLD, SVS Ordered!!!

Scott:

My 20-39PC+ will be arriving in my hot hands tomorrow. It is currently enroute from Ohio via UPS Ground. I'll post a full review with pics this weekend.

Suffice it to say, in my HT room (roughly 18x12x8 with limited openings to other rooms) this sub should produce prodigious amounts of clean, deep, reference level bass. I'm very psyched!

You think you got it bad with a 2-3 week delay? I have suffered almost 3 MONTHS with makeshift subs. They sound good, but they don't play loud enough and are only flat to about 35 Hz. I can't wait for the REAL DEAL!

BTW, a good choice on the 20-39 vs. the 16-46. In a typical non-anechoic HT room with boundary reinforcement, you will actually see a -3dB point of about 16 Hz with the 20-39 size enclosure even with no port plug. Not much reason to go any deeper!

My settings will be: subsonic filter at 15 Hz, no port plug, crossover disabled, auto on, one (or two) sub cable to the Left/Right line level inputs, sub gain at the receiver set at -3, and all preliminary SPL adjusting done with the sub amp volume control.

I recommend the same setting for you, but you COULD plug one of the ports and go a little deeper and set your SS filter to 12 Hz. I see little benefit in this.

I asked Tom V about a Y splitter because I'm using one now on my Harman/Kardon sub amp, and he said either one or two sub cables will work and there will be no difference in sound quality, only more volume for any given setting. He said a Y splitter with two cables connected will have the same effect as doubling the sub gain at the receiver.
