Haha. Nah, the guy you really want out there is BMX. There are definitely others here who are very qualified. I'd trust highfigh quite a bit too, for instance.
If he came out I'd probably want to come over just to watch him in action.

Yes, I said the Ultra was 90% of the DawgCrusher but I think the Ultra actually hits lower than the DC. Keep in mind that the DC was sealed and power limited by my amp. Also keep in mind that I had an equal amout of money in it as I do in one Ultra.

Adding the 2nd Ultra is a whole different level. The bass is so smooth and blended now and it is just effortless. The subs do not bring attention to themselves as a single sub did. They just set there until really needed and then they can knock you on the floor.

I am really interested in adding the AS-EQ1 subwoofer EQ. If it can get better than it is now, I have to hear that.


I think he said the Ultra was 90% of the DawgCrusher (or maybe the DawgCrusher was 90 % of the Ultra).

I saw a AS-EQ1 on audiogon for $675... not sure what they sell for new.

I figured as much... SVS treats their customers right, and they treat their return customers even better.

Glad your enjoying the new subs.... Multiples FTW !!!!

Haven't had the chance to EQ my monsters in here yet either but if it adds more to the ridiculous bass I'm getting now - I'll be thrilled...

Driving up to Green Bay tomorrow to get my final box tomorrow morning.
Can't wait...

No doubt that yours are going to be great. I guess patience pays off in your case. I have none...

I see you are still waiting for the submersive, I am glad I didn't hit "pay" on my PP when the request came over as I would be PO'd by now.

Don't you think the AS-EQ1 suites me well? Plug it in, run it and never look at it again...

Yeah true on the submersive, but I'm not bass deprived right now. The F112 is still very impressive yet, but I couldn't pass up the preorder price before it was going up. Plus the benefits totally outweigh the weight.

Yes - I think the svs eq would work great for your purposes, as long as your not looking to add a 3rd.

Fire and forget is ok if it truly measures right

Ron keeps hitting me with race car analogies and I can't turn down anything related to race cars...:D

"With power comes responsibility"

"No replacement for displacement"

"you only THINK you know what your PC13-Ultra should sound like. With twins? Well the AVR is not going to come close to the true dual sub handling mode our box offers. It’s virtually a mandatory need from my foxhole. Dual Ultra subs BEG for refined room correction. A month of Sundays and you can’t get sound dialed in as well as 30 min with our device. It’s still the world’s best subwoofer processor, NO contest".

How do you argue with logic like that????:eek:

Why do you say as long as you're not looking to add a third? There is a guy on blu-ray.com with 4 ultras, and 2 PB12+ subs all eq'd with a single SVS eq.

Yeah you can eq the average of the subs. Of course 2 ultras are more than enough for that room.

You can hook up all the subs you want to it, but that doesn't mean its right or will be EQ'd properly. Each sub with a different location and different distance will have their wavelength arriving at the LP at a different time.

It would be fine if all the subs were located equally..... Even SVS states this.

2 on the front and two on the back or something like that.

The Dawg has subs already in completely differing locations. And the wavelengths will be totally different. The SVS EQ is only setup to deal with 2 separate bands properly. Unless he flanked his TV with 2 subs and ran those off a single channel.

maybe... but he had a flat response, so he must have done something right.

The one in the back corner looks lonely... Maybe they should BOTH be back there :D

Yeah, it probably suits you well. Audyssey' Sub Equalizer is the same unit, but will perform better simply due to a superior mic (that you must purchase) in the Audyssey Pro Kit. This is only worth it if you're going to do the Pro cal with any Audyssey Pro capable receiver/prepro, IMO.

If you ever think of going to 3 or 4 subs, JBL's BassQ is the new thing, and people say it works great. This unit is actually even easier to use than the ASEQ1, so far as I know (doesn't even need to plug into laptop, or do I have that wrong?) A true plug n play. I believe it uses 4 mics instead of 1 being moved around, doing 4 sweeps, for a total of 16 measurements. The problem is that it will probably cost nearly double your price on the SVS.

Yep, $1200 is a little too much.

2 subs will be my max.

I figured as much. I just wanted to let you be aware of your other similar options, and how they differ. In your particular case, with 3808 I believe, 2 subs max = get the SVS.
