Are you going to split the LFE signal, and keep them together? "POWERFUL" "INSANE"

Or are you going to split the LFE signal, and separate the subs in different locations?
Right now I have a Plus/2 (rosewood) and a Plus (PB) in my great room.

I bought the second sub, because I will either be leaving my great room the same with non colocated subs (Plus/2 and Plus) or I will be taking my Plus into the bedroom and running dual Plus/2's in my great room... same locations that I have going right now... front left and right rear
Either way, I will be trying both in my bedroom, Plus/2 and Plus to see which one I like the best...
The Rosewood Plus/2 will match my MTS speakers in my bedroom, but the PB will work too... either way I bought to have until I finish my DIY subs.. that way I have plenty of time, and don't feel the need to hurry along my project.

If your going to run 2 subs in one room. I suggest running both the Plus/2's together, instead of the Plus/2 and PB. JMO

I have been running a Plus and Plus/2 in the great room for the last 5 months tuned the same, and they sound extrodinary, and really pound, which Is why I know that I would have no problem doing it either way... I do want to see how the Dual Plus/2's work in that huge room though...

But the Rosenut Plus/2 in my small *** bedroom will both look fantastic with my speakers and would pound like crazy - - That would be freakin awesome...

But either way, I'll see which one I like better...

I like the way both the RoseNut and Piano Black look in the Room...
I'll probably end up with just the small PB in the bedroom with Dual Plus/2's in that huge freaking room...

PB12-Plus in Piano Black now next my my 15" TC-2000's



PB12-Plus/2 in RoseNut

He is taking his sweet *** time building the enclosures (with no updates) that's what! :D




Just kidding buddy. I know you have a lot going on. ;)


When you get them done, I want to come down and get a listen to them.

I Am taking my Sweet A$$ time on these, and I feel stupid about it.. but I do have to say, that I want them done beautifully and If that means going slow, thats the way it will be. That is why I bought the extra sub, so I wouldn't be lacking in the Bass department while under construction, making me feel like I had to hurry... I think that once SVS discontinues the Plus/2 that it won't be very hard to sell them if need be.

I know I am doing something that is against the grain by building these out of solid cherry wood, so I have to cover all my bases.

I did see something interesting the other day on Discovery Channel's Smash Lab, in where they were trying to create a explosion proof building, and they painted the inside of a truck bed with Rhino Liner and put a car bomb underneath it, it held up to the forces of the huge blast, where without the liner, it totally disintegrated - truck gone!!! Which proved my theory of using that product on the inside of my box to minimize outward forces, which will also serve to deaden the box from resonance as well. The liner cures to almost a hard rubberized plastic. I am testing some different products now.

After those tests they painted the entire front of a building with the stuff, and the building took the force of a far larger blast, where normally it would have leveled it... I thought that was wicked cool...
