Dinushan Paranavithana Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 How do you go for additional subwoofers in setups like 9.2.4 or 9.4.6 when the AVRs don't have multiple subwoofer outputs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4 User Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Subs are not left/right. Although my Audiocontrol preamp has dual sub outputs, my Martin Logan sub also has a pass-thru for the second sub. That said, how big is the room? One really good sub may be better than 2 average subs. Obviously, 2 really good subs is better than 1 if the space can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4 User Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 My room is 28x22. One BalanceForce 212 does a very good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWD Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 If your AVR only has one out and you want to do it right, get a MiniDSP. Use REW to make correction filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no magical sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sub comes with a correction kit that allows the installer or the owner to tune the sub to the room. Perfect placement will improve the audio quality, but room correction does an amazing job to overcome shortfalls in perfect placement due to limits from furnishings, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll miss out on any calibration/tuning provided by the DSP in the AVR if you are using multiple subs with a single output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is asking about multiple subwoofers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet wait until a receiver is available that has Dirac bass management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
