Re: 4pi Commercial Dinner Theater Build
Answers by numbers: 1. If I understood your picture properly, the west wall is on the left, where the mains are. So that would be where you would put flanking subs. Distant subs would be put somewhere else, more distant from the mains. The low-pas...

Re: 4 Pi Home Theater Build
Wayne, thanks for the information. Will be very hard to add subs here in Cambodia. Any educated guesses on where I should place the Paradigm sub? The back wall will have two large 8' tall bookshelves, containing shoe boxes of multiple sizes (they are ...

Re: 4pi Commercial Dinner Theater Build
I think they will work well that way, just be sure to delay the mains to match the path length of the subs. Orient the subs with the mouth near the floor. If the F20s sound good in the ~120Hz range, I'd low-pass them with a shallow filter slope, like...

Re: Sub woofer Assist
Check out the thread called "The Subwoofer Thing" along with all the links contained therein. It's about a configuration that uses multiple bass sound sources at different places in the room to average out room modes. Some call this a multisu...

Re: 4 Pi Speakers and 3 Pi Subwoofer Request Plus Question
Thanks. It is always reassuring to hear a few more oppinions. I will probably do most of the upgrades except the capacitors. That will help pay for the cost of the subs. My speaker quest started when I contemplated buying a sub to add to my curre...

Re: 4 Pi Speakers and 3 Pi Subwoofer Request Plus Question
Dave, I have the 4 Pi speakers in standard configuration. I have been listening to them for over 5 years. Prior to that, I was on a constant hunt to upgrade my speakers. That stopped when I built the 4 Pi. These speakers are nothing short of amazing. Dynam...

Re: Sub crossovers
Now there's a pair for you! Seriously, that will work just fine. I used the Rekkhorn F1 sub crossover, and it worked pretty well. It allows variable adjustment of the (24dB/octave) low-pass frequency and amplitude. But honestly, I kind of like ...

Room modes, multisubs and flanking subs
When I first considered the multisub approach, it was prompted by papers written by Todd Welti. He did several tests that showed in-room amplitude response could be made smoother using multiple subs, and gave specific guidance about placement. His favo...

Options in a nutshell
It's all about the midrange, when you're talking differences between the JBL 2226 and the Eminence Omega 15 in the four Pi loudspeaker. The Omega 15 sounds very good, powerful yet still natural sounding. But it isn't as good as the JBL woofer. The 222...

Multisubs
Do a search for "multisub". The idea is to use multiple subs to smooth room modes, making the bass sound good throughout the room. That's the best way to setup subs, but it does require more than one. If you have only one sub, it will soun...
