what is a good sub for home theater(need more advice)


Recommended Posts

A house has different acoustics then a Car less power in watts needed.

It is the exact opposite. A house will have less spatial loading resulting in less of a natural boost in SPL.

The only reason people don't have tens of thousands of watts in home is because it would destroy electric bills and sound bad.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Sorry I took it as you were saying it takes less to be louder in the house than the car.

Fi had some 10's on sale for like $85 i got a pair just to try them out

i really like that Dayton MK and might be what im looking for. i wont get 4 but maybe just 1 15' or 18' i'm going to change the title the thread since i have more questions

the receiver i have can be wired down to 6 ohms. i always wanted to build my system from top to bottom but at 6 ohms i am having difficulty finding any drivers and tweeters. i was looking into some crossovers and could not find any that works at 6 ohm. the only way is to buy the speaker sets they sell like pioneer, samsung, onkyo and other brands out there

I dropped my down to 4 ohm on bass. I use all rca outs on receiver to seperate amps for all channels.

The only reason your receiver is rated at 6 ohms is because they can advertise more watts per channel at 6 ohms. Most home speakers are 8 ohm. My cheap panasonic receiver is rated 100Wx5 at 6 ohms. It runs 4 ohm loads fine. Try a 4 ohm load on your receiver and see what it does, it will go into protection before blowing if it doesn't like the ohm load.
