What subwoofer

[tota1pkg]

I have this Room i'm setting up.

It's 7 1/2 (9) ft high
13ft across
and extends over 30 ft back (one large basement room) although i'm obviously using less for the theater.

The 3 walls pictured and floor are all concrete.

My fronts are infinity beta 50 with dual 8" drivers, they fully cover the midbase range.
the center is c360.
the surround es250.

I've got $1000 set aside for a sub. suggestions?

I would go for a VTF-15H. Place it in a front corner.

I really like the look of your ceiling. Nicely recessed for the ceiling fan?

It was done for the vent duct initially, and the deep cans. Luckily i bought the house styled like this, i did all the painting myself, and it's mighty convenient that the fan doesn't interfere with the picture at all.

It should be back in stock by end of this week.

Looks like a very nice room and for sure VTF-15H gets my vote!

I just ordered one. I have a similar sized room as yours, however the front 3 walls are concrete, so it will be interesting to see how my placement results differ.

[shaolin95]

Indeed, I will be checking your results for sure.
Congrats!

I bought my 3rd set of infinity Beta 50's on craigslist (living room, theater room, father-in-law), and had some easy conversation with the seller. we talked about how he didn't want to get rid of them, but they didn't have the wife approval factor, so he had to compromise with some smaller speakers. during that conversation, he showed me his speakers and i was amazed at the size of the sub. he said he could get away with it because he used it as an endtable

so ever since that day 10 months ago, i've been waiting planning to get one.

I'm glad you have a good product and you don't dump tons of money into advertising so you'd have to jack up the prices 20%

yeah i just ordered an Enthusiast 2 package for my father in law last week, as he is moving and needs smaller speakers but good sound, and broke down and got the sub for my room this week. He's got a full cathedral ceiling in his living room, and we pre-ran the speaker wire in wall while they were building the house. I will be setting him up in the next two months, and will key in for some setup tips if the sound needs help tuning.

I will throw more referrals your way, as obvioulsy the product speaks for itself if it can pass thru word of mouth alone.

Thank you for your kind words! I will always be here when you need me.

Cool! Keep us posted.

[shaolin95]

Looking very good bro!

[tota1pkg]

Well right now after messing with it most of the day, i have the following setup, Fronts angled in a bit and 36" off the back wall, sub with one port plug, Sub x-over off, and Q of .3, placed at a 45 degree angle to the corner.



watched harry potter with the kids last night, and when the lightning would strike in the movie, it felt like it hit the house. I'm gonna have to find another way to mount the projector, because the current mount vibrates too much (accent support beam) and i'll probably have to go up to a floor support beam and/or vibration dampening. any suggestions?

[shaolin95]

I have the same problem mostly when I am testing freq 31.5 my projector feels like a T-Rex is walking up stairs.
Because it is my basement I added a support right next to the beam where the project is attached too but that is not a good looking solution though.
I hope someone can offer more advice on this as well for sure.

EQ1 or EQ2? Where is the projector currently attached to?

[tota1pkg]

EQ1, although i spent most time sorting out placement and ports.

The projector is mounted to a 2x4 support beam that runs across for the recessed ceiling. the floor support beam for the upstairs is about 1 1/2 ft above where it's mounted now. it wasn't horrible during the movie, but definitely noticeable during testing volumes and music.

Remember to set to EQ 2 when trying out 2 ports open! EQ1 and 2 ports open is a no no.

[tota1pkg]

i tried eq2 and 2 ports open, and on 5, -9 on the receiver, it vibrated the room (ceiling mostly) way too much without significant increase in impact@ the seating. i'll stick with the 1 port open, 5, -5 on the receiver.

[tota1pkg]

EQ2, i redid a calibration and it set it at -11, eq2, and 2 ports open.

What I would do is to turn down the volume on the sub so the re-calibration would end up closer to 0 dB. At -11, the sub may have a harder time turning on. If the sub is at 9 o'clock now, try turning it down to 8 o'clock and re-calibrate.

1 port open, EQ2, Q=0.5 sounds good.

[tota1pkg]

I'd really like to try allot more options, positions, and testing, but right now i started a new job, and have to help the inlaws move in their new home.

No hurry. Good luck with the new job and the move.
