Subwoofer upgrades are fun!

Unloading this sub was some work! Luckily I had a friend to help out, I am pretty confident it would've been impossible for me to even place it alone, let alone unload it from the truck. Got everything up and running and the good news is that I have enough electricity! lol. This sub is great - totally effortless, great definition, great slam, and just tons of clean++ output. All that you would expect, I guess. I don't think it is quite as visually appealing as the descent (and it actually makes the Summit X's look kinda puny.... lol), but I'll take the trade off. Now to shop for a new center channel.....

Justin and the cats saying wtf - get this thing out already!



Unboxed and sitting behind the Summit X. This was optimal position for the old sub, but may or may not be for this one. I will experiment more, but need to order a ~20ft XLR cable to do so. Don't mind my wires laying all over the room. lol





Summits and Decent looking for attention at the rear of the room. lol

Congrats! That room looks awesome, btw. Great - now I have furniture envy. What a way to start the weekend. :D

Seriously, though, congrats on the new sub. As you said, they're fun! I remember just sitting around with a big grin on my face for days every time I fired up my SVS when I got it back in 2007.

So, how long did it take to clean up the toys before taking the photos? :)

That is a beautiful setup youve got there!! Are you powering your MLs from just your marantz avr? Nice placement & yes that sub is quite the beast!!

Thanks! The couches are comfortable - recliners are a must have. Now if the room was just wider to accomodate everything the way that I would really like..... haha. Surprising enough, the toys went away fast - not much stuff is usually out in here. :)

It is actually a Marantz AVP, it is the AV7005. Front three channels are powered by an Aragon 8008x3 (400wpc) and rear channels are powered by a 2ch Emotiva. I bought and sold a lot of amps from cheap to expensive and have like the Aragon the best so far from both a performance and price perspective.

Nice.... I truly loved my F112 for SQ, I'm sure the F212 is every bit as awesome with even more output - hope you got a nice deal on it, as they don't usually come cheap....

I replaced my F112 with a Submersive and then shortly after with a Custom DIY with an LMS driver - SQ is a little better then the JL's but low end output is far greater, reaching down to at least 10hz which is what I was looking for...

I hope you enjoy it for many years to come sir... :)
