They will come, eventually!

If you build another pair, switching to active XOs would be the first thing I'd change. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Highly agree with this statement.

Awesome looking set-up. They just completely dominate that flat screen.

Something that size needs a projector and a proper 90 - 130 inch screen.

Wouldnt having another tube sub give a full stereo experience?

If I understand correctly everything is stereo apart from >35Hz?

No need to have stereo separation that low. It is crossed so low you can't tell where it is coming from. The way the house shakes, it sounds like there is a sub in every room!!

The problem is most people cross their subwoofers over too high. I run mine at 40 Hz and I can't tell where it is unless I am snooping around for it.

x2...I would never add a crossover higher than 50hz for ANY subwoofer...any higher and I am obviously lacking in the midbass department...which would warrant better mains or stereo subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Or you could be like me, run full range with stereo subs and cross it over higher. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Stereo subs you are a bastard.

I wanted to run the IXL18 high enough to blend with the main towers, but it does not sound good over 50 Hz (I am sure it is due to the 12 ft^3 tuned to 18 Hz box), so we built the (8) 12's to fill the gap. They do not have any type of high pass filter - they just run 100-120 Hz and down. The 18 really would not be needed for most people after the 12's were completed. It really does not add bass you can hear in this setup, but it adds a lot of feel and rattling.

8x 12" should do that.

Mine is set 60 and I would agree with your assessment.

VERY nice!!! Always wanted to build a line array set....

60 Hz isn't bad. That is where I used to have mine set until I got the V800.

Now I run it at 40 Hz because the low frequency response is worlds better. I just hate the "THX" 80 Hz standard. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I wish I could run lower, but the lines don't match up well then.
