What would you think about getting the EMP now, and adding a second EMP later. do you think that would be a better setup? Also, about it matching... someone had mentioned earlier that they thought it would go well with it, do you feel like they would look completely different? Because if they dont match I will be going with the EMP. Thanks again for all your help!! Looking over that link you sent me now.
That might not be a bad idea, however it won't help much with the frequencies below the EMP's extension. It certainly will help with the frequencies that the EMP does perform at, 35 hertz and above. There are also more benefits to having multiple subs other than just more SPL.
And how much does that extra lower 10 hertz mean to you? It will give more depth to things like explosions, earthquakes, lightning storms, etc. But there really isn't that much material recorded down in those regions outside of modern action movies. You can take a look at
this list of movies and see what has stuff in the 25 to 35 hertz region. You can also look at
this frequency chart to see what instruments take advantage of of that range, and not many do, really. Only the lowest few notes on the piano, contrabasson, harp, and pipe organ. Some electronic music will dip that low, but unless you listen to heavy-duty electro, drum'n'bass, dubstep, or raggea, you won't be missing much. I don't think even any rap or hip-hop get that low.
Those lower frequencies will also travels through walls better, something to consider for your neighbors. If you are truly concerned about your neighbors, maybe you should just stick with the EMP sub until you can get to a place where you can really let your system rip, and then you can buy something serious. You might try the EMP out, and return it if you think it's not enough for you. You can return it within 30 days for a full refund. Who knows, maybe that little sucker can rock your room. There is more to speakers than specs.
