Even though the subwoofer is a really important part of any home theater or music system, it can be a tough sell. Subwoofers have gotten a bad reputation as being eyesores, space hogs, and booming bass boxes that only serve to annoy the neighbors. But a lot has changed over the past few years. There are now subwoofers of nearly every size and shape. In this video, we make the case for why you need a subwoofer and cover the different types of subwoofers available that might work best for your needs.

Bruh caught me off guard with the street slang lmao
I am calling absolute bullshit on the power ratings of that little sub you are claiming. Put one on a amp dyno and prove it. Don’t believe the power ratings on that monolith either. Stop pushing false power claims. I’m sure neither one will even get close to what you claimed.
I have a setup dilemma! My living room is 35×20 (LRG) Doing 2 JBL wall flanking TV over Fireplace…JBL center…. 2 More JBL in wall speakers…Also 4 JBL ceilings…My problem is the subs…. 1 large ported vs sealed OR 2 sealed subs? HELP!!! I will say it will be more a music room than movies since we are doing a theatre in the basement!!!
In my living room, I have a 7.4.4 Theater system. I put two SKAR DDR D2 15s in my Pioneer HPM 1100 cabinets, driven by two Crown XLS 2502 pro amps @ 2400 watts each. In back of the room is two SVS PB3000s. My amp is an Onkyo TX-RZ70, driving 11 speakers. My wife never complains, because in her private 11 X 12 foot room, she has an Onkyo TX-RZ820 AVR, driving 7 Klipsch speakers, two Klipsch R-12SW Subwoofers, and a 70 inch TV. As you said, it’s not about loud, it’s about quality. Although both systems also do a great job at “loud”. The area I live in has half acer lots, and no noise ordnances.
Rocking my original Logitech Z-560 4.1 speakers to this day. Bought them a few months after release in early 2002, and after 6 years of inactivity I cleaned them up a fe days ago and got them hooked up… Like brand new. The only noticeable sign of age is the oxidation on the volume controls that sends off lightning-strke crackles, lol. <3 I bought these for $200 in 2002, and I dare you to find better speakers for that price today.
