would definitely go for dual Monolith+

You mean two pieces Or one as dual?Because they make passive radiators. Link?

He means 2 pieces.

Ty, there's a bit of a language barrier here too. English isn't bill's first language.

How big is your space?

42m^3 (cubic meters) + 2 door openings. U can see one from pic click on it it goes bigger

It's about time! We've been summoning you to help ol' bill here for months, lol.

How you been man? Haven't seen you around in a while.

I'm good. Just too many hobbies and stuff going on so pretty much only seeing on forums if there are any alerts and responding to them. Sometimes you wish you didn't have a job and had all the time you could have.

Subwoofer will fill the whole open space so I would look for 12.17 or Monolith+ at least in your situation. Duals (having 2 subwoofers) will help with null areas your room but wont be necessary.

Can the double gem go close to my center speaker on the furniture? Like a second one? Vertical
or on the yellow furniture to the right? There it can go str8 or vertical.

I doubt it would be up to the task in your space as you have really big space to fill.

Putting subs on top of furniture could cause all kind of problems due to vibrations of lower frequencies. Decoupling with something like Auralex Platfoam could work but I would not take the gamble. I think that even dual double gems would struggle in your space and would pick single 12.17 or Monolith+ instead and possibly upgrade later for dual if space/budget allows it.

Hi

Because of vibrations you need a good sturdy footing to put the subwoofers onto so it is not advisable to stand them on furniture

company replied for the Double Gem via email 1 hour ago. I emailed them.
i thought they would say no problem do it, but they are legit.

its shorter yes but it can do the job. 10.5 meter to 12m i need.

Cables... Its always better to have it a little longer. Amazon Basics will work, but there are better cables... just uncertain about your market.
I use this from Monoprice:

Amazon.com: Monoprice 15ft High-quality Coaxial Audio/Video RCA CL2 Rated Cable - RG6/U 75ohm (for S/PDIF, Digital Coax, Subwoofer, and Compos: Home Audio & Theater

Amazon.com: Monoprice 15ft High-quality Coaxial Audio/Video RCA CL2 Rated Cable - RG6/U 75ohm (for S/PDIF, Digital Coax, Subwoofer, and Compos: Home Audio & Theater

www.amazon.com

If you don't mind a little research... I always recommend avoiding copper-clad conductors (Amazon Basics uses Copper-Clad Aluminum, Mediabridge uses Copper-Clad Steel)... I also like having a good quality insulation and shielding.
That monoprice cable is based on RG6 Coaxial Cable... its a solid copper core, 18AWG instead of thinner gauge in the other cables, and it is double shielded.
That is what I would recommend identifying as a first choice. Hopefully you can find something easily and not too expensive in Europe.
That said, the Amazon Basic will work fine.



BTW, I'm very glad to hear that you are upgrading that sub! I think you will be much happier.

Cheers!

 

[killbill13]

I think you will be much happier.

I will for sure, i worry for my woman and mostly for my apartment neighbors.
any other link that ships to europe its apreciated.

 

[tyhjaarpa]

amazon.de and amazon.co.uk has multiple choices in both 12m and 15m length. I have to agree that shielding in the cable is important factor specially in longer cables.

Xtz 12.17 edge

Μια ερωτηση, ποσο το κομματι? 590ε το ένα και 84ε νομιζω μεταφορικά (για Αγγλία που μένω). Μου φάνηκαν λίγο αλμυρά τα μεταφορικά, μάλλον τα ανεβάσαν για να κατεβάσουν και καλά την τιμή των σαμπ. Ζήτησα και παζάρι επειδή ζητούσα δύο αλλά απάντησαν αρνητικά...

www.avsite.gr

thats a greek forum. Look what a coinsidence. This guy has a bk elec subwoofer, the brands we are talking about in the last page!

and he bought 2 pieces 12.17 he is crazy!

he measured both differend ones with Umic and he posted it.

12.17 is very touph but...look at the size! He is double the other

 

[NINaudio]

He's comparing the 12.17, a ported 12" to a BKE XLS200, a sealed 10". Looking at the graphs, you can see what going with the ported 12" gets you: much more useful low end output.

 

[killbill13]

There is difference but not the difference someone would expect, am i right? The 12.17 edge has 3 times the RMS of the other and its 2 times more in size!
