Small or large sub for music


I've been using a pair of Velodyne HGS-10s to supplement KEF LS50s below 50 Hz, but I read that larger subs are better for music because the cone needs excursion.  Is there any truth to this?  I have a pair of HGS-15s that I could use to supplement the LS50s or Reference 1s (below 40 Hz) if I go there.  The HGS-15s do HT superbly.

dbphd,

Sorry, I linked the wrong link for The Absolute Sound DBA review.

Here’s the correct link:
www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audiokinesis-swarm-subwoofer-system/

I also forgot to mention that the Audio Kinesis subs are positioned facing and within an inch of the wall. So all you see of them in the room is the attractive wood you choose covering the top, back and sides of each sub (connections are on the bottom).   I use the supplied spikes for each on my carpeted floor. My wife says they look like art gallery pedestals and usually has a vase of fresh flowers atop 1 or more.

" Have you tried daisy chaining all four?"


m-db,

No, didn't think there was a need.  The Debra system's 1,000 watt amp has 'A" and 'B'  sub/speaker output sections, each with its own 'Left' and "Right' sub/speaker outputs, so  4 sub/speaker outputs total.  I run separate custom speaker cables to each sub  that are routed through the crawl space underneath my room.

Sorry for being so brief. I meant to say daisy chaining the four powered HGS subs via the Dayton's EQd line level (RCA) connection using each subs 1000 / 1250w amplifiers. 

I'm not sure of the ohm rating of the two HGS drivers. I'm assuming if they're anything below 8 ohms you may have presented the Dayton amplifier with a less than its combined 4 ohm minimum load which could affect the subs performance and possibly damage the drivers.

Blue Jeans or MonoPrice cable offer reasonably priced custom lengths of RCA cable.  


m-db,

     Okay, I understand now you weren't directing the daisy chaining question to me.

Woops,
Tim
