Outlaw Audio LFM-1-EX Review

[timoteo]

Your absolutely right, two subs are ALWAYS better than one....IF placed & setup correctly. Mainly placement & phase. But remember, dual subs (sub "X") that are identical will behave exactly like one sub "X" as far as frequency response. The benifits are that with two sub "X"s you get more output & when placed right, more even response over a larger seating area. Dual sub "X"s wont play deeper than a single sub "X". You get 3dBs with two subs when they are seperated in the room. You gain 6dBs if they are together.

If the ML seems to be hitting harder than the Empire then yes you may have something wrong.

Are both drivers on the Empire working?

If you put your hands on both while its playing can you tell if they are in phase with eachother?

What are the knob settings on the plate amp & what are the settings for it in your receiver?

Where is it located in your room & where in comparison to your seat?

Give us as much info as you can that may help us help you.

Subwoofer=Crossover is all the way to the right (LFE input being used, so this should not matter). Output level is 10 o'clock, phase is @ 0.


Receiver = Level is 3.0, crossover is 120hz, LFE+main, placed about 8-10' from primary listening area and currently underneath TV / Front mains. ( I have also placed it in the rear of the room)

I am wondering if I give up much at all if I went with the LFM-1 Plus over the EX in my 20 x 18 x 8 HT room for 100% movies only use. I live in a town home so I don't get to crack volume nowhere near reference and the size of the EX is a real issue around here. Suggestion ?

Ok, I got 2 LMX plus's on it sounds much better to me. I found it sounds and feels better with the positioned in the rear vs on the front in the traditional place. So right now one is in the back left corner and the other is 3/4 done the right wall ( 4' from the corner).

Is it odd to find it to sound better in these places?

Crossover
Front 90hz
Center 90hz
Surround 60hz

Frts -2.0
Center -1.0
Rears -3.0
Sub -4.0

Sub at 10 o'clock
