DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 ii works wonders with my new sub

I have a new SVS sb2000 that I got dialed in about 95% (2 channel music) to where I could not determine sub location. I was really happy. Problem was, wife was not happy about the location. So i placed the sub back in the corner behind the left speaker and ordered the Anti-mode at the suggestion of a fellow 'Goner. All I can say is wow. The sub, in the corner where it was boomy and too blossomed before, is perfect. I like a bit louder bass than most. With the Anti-mode, I can be a bit bass heavy without the "boominess". Bass is very tight 
I'm adding a second sub in a month or so, so I can use the 8033ii for a stereo sub set up as well. 

I highly suggest this product!!

Thanks for this post, I'm going to put my sub in the corner and try it. I pulled it toward the listening position to account for any delay in the 8033.

I use one with a pair of 15" Rythmik sealed subs to augment the bass on my Avantgarde Duos. It is effective and pretty straightforward to set up. Some of the test tones while in set up mode are earth shaking. Does the job at very low (relative) cost. I'm rolling off very low (55hz) and steep (-24 db/octave) and feeding the subs from a second set of outputs on the line stage, so nothing is in between my main amps and speakers.

My sub volume is now just above the 9 o'clock position and it blends great at all levels. Just the right amount of whack and fullness that sound perfect and balanced. When I do late night, very low volume listening, I have an EQ in my preamps processor loop to use basically as a loudness function. 

I say the Anti-mode 8033 (I have the version ii with the extra calibration steps) is well worth it.

For stereo subs, the Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core is necessary. There are a number of them available used right now for around $500.

Actually, you can use the 8033ii for stereo. The 180 phase output also serves as one of the channels. One would have to have a sub with phase switch to make sure the phase is same as other channel.
