Re: subwoofer use for old cabinets

Re: Brainstorming my speaker strategy
…the right track with the four π mains and multisubs. They are a significant upgrade over what you have right now. They're as loud as those Cerwin Vegas and much, much cleaner. No offense, those CVs are good party speakers with plenty of bass. But four…
