I just bought a mint pair of these for $100. They have a d'Appolito array and so the tweeter is slightly offset. Which one is left and which one is right? With the tweeter more towards the center or the outside?

Quick update. After some tweaking and installing the 50Hz high pass filters the sound has improved dramatically. The speakers seem less stressed and I now have the sub crossed over at 100Hz. The null seems to be gone now in the center of the room and I get nice punchy even bass across my entire...

Here are the finished shots. It sounds great in the garage now, even if there is a noticeable null in the very center of the room. Anywhere near the periphery of the room and bass is punchy and full. It is my car workbench so I don't have much room to move the sub around -- I did...

Sorry Mark, didn't see your reply until now -- I already had purchased the RSL sub

Fair. I'll tinker with gain levels and hopefully get some semblance of hi fidelity in the garage. The white elephant in the room is the RSL was $400 shipped, the HSU would have been significantly more with shipping -- perhaps I'm telling myself these things to help me justify my purchase :D I...

Well, the other sub I was looking at was the Hsu VTF-2 mk5 (which I already have in my game room) but I felt it would overwhelm the little MK442's in the garage. I thought the RSL would be a bit more 'musical' with it's smaller size woofer and blend better with the Daytons which are a bit...

I thought about buying a used/more 'modern' receiver here locally but deep down in my heart I felt that the NAD amp deserves to not be relegated to obsolescence/obscurity. I kinda dig its 'old school' flavor. And honestly, it only required me to buy some RCA cables and a pair of high pass...

This whole garage system venture is to remain low cost and to recycle equipment I wasn't using. So far I'm only into it $550: the NAD amp, the Panasonic BD player, two MK442's, wall mounts, RSL sub, and the high pass filter RCA pair. It should sound pretty damn amazing in the garage. I'd rather...

I ordered the 50Hz high pass RCA from PE. If it doesn't perform well I'll revisit the Hsu unit

A lot of the complaints about the harrison products center around a lowering of volume, reduced fidelity, and higher than advertised crossover level. Makes me leery. On an unrelated note Steve, since I have your attention, I need to order the proper cables from Blue Jeans. Rather than connect...

Odd, the 50Hz units are much higher reviewed, and since the MK442's do dip down into the upper 40's this may be the solution I need. https://www.parts-express.com/harrison-labs-fmod-inline-crossover-pair-50-hz-high-pass-rca--266-270

Am I missing something here?

The reviews by users on PE are not too promising, some saying the crossover was driven much higher as evidenced by calibration software (110Hz and 140Hz) respectively. I would almost rather not run them at all and adjust the bass/treble on the front of the NAD. I guess the switch on the sub for...

So it is a 12db slope (roll off) below 70hz rather than eliminating low frequency information altogether?

I've decided to go with the RSL Speedwoofer 10S. It ships for $399 all in and should sound amazing with music. It has all the features you noted above, including low level stereo in, and low level stereo out -- and I can use the internal crossover as you alluded to above giving me that peace of...

I learn something new every day. Now, where's my damn screwdriver?

yessir

The MK442's reach down below their advertised 60hz, and the NAD runs in 4 ohm mode so they'll at least have enough headroom to boogie. With the ceilings in the garage being so high the HSU VTF-2 is looking quite good right now.

So two of these bad mamajamas here one coming out of pre out L and one coming out of pre out R: ^with an rca cable back into the respective Main In on the NAD amp and the other out to the respective input on the sub. Is that correct?

Also, I have an extra Definitive Technology ProSub 80 laying around which DOES and dedicated left and right line level inputs. Does that solve my issue? Just connect each pre-out on the NAD to the respective input on the sub and the sub will sum the signal to mono properly? On that note, does...
