I got a subwoofer for my computer speakers!

Re: Deth's New Speaker
Old thread, I know, but...
That's cute, Deth.
12" subwoofer - 400W RMS
*totally not bragging*
It's full of cat hair that won't come off no matter what I've tried (yet) though.
Back to the serious discussion, your subwoofer looks pretty nice, would actually bought one of those if it weren't for this huge beast of a subwoofer. Stopped playing loud with it though, I don't want to damage my hearing, mostly play music on low volume and movies with it.

Re: Deth's New Speaker
Generally your hearing won't be damaged by low frequencies, unless it's insanely loud (Like 123+ DB)
I've helped set up Quad 18 inch subs for live sound events, love the sound of those.
Also at church where I do sound, we run dual 18s on each side at around 1,600 watts or so each side (Don't have the exact numbers anymore...) They're pretty good.
What do you have your sub crossed at? I keep mine around 82hz, nice and clean bass from that.

Re: Deth's New Speaker
1,600 watts that's insane amount of power for your speakers!
I love bicycling.
Re: Deth's New Speaker
It's live sound, so things have to be crazy powerful...
It amazes me... for a small change in loudness, you have to double the power.

Re: Deth's New Speaker
There's no crossing option on my subwoofer amplifier, the subwoofer itself is passive, but its set to play everything from 20Hz to 250Hz, the upper frequencies are handled by my ADC floor speakers (2x6,5" and 1x1" 120W RMS) and my Kenwood KRF-V5200D home cinema amplifier. I do have center and rear speakers, but I don't have any placement for them, nor do I see the use in them, so they just collect dust in the basement.
Yeah, you really need a lot of power because of the huge coil size on those speaker cones. The more power, the more punch you get. Currently, I'm not using much power on my subwoofer, I'm using a small amplifier because of space issues, but it's more than enough for music and movies. I do, however have a car amplifier at 500W RMS that I'd have to use a car battery and charger on, but that stuff is stored in the basement for now as it's too messy.
