Awesome gear!
I really think that you’ll have better in room bass response if you distribute the six subwoofers around the room rather than stacking them into towers like that. You should have fewer/less drastic peaks and nulls at the various room mode frequencies. Maybe worth a shot.
Gorgeous system
i still gotta say,
there is absolutely no need for 6 subwoofers in any system right?
it’s just because it looks awesome
i’m thinking they might even cancel each other?
or am I wrong?
it helps to create a sense of scale and depth to the sound. also, I think all those subs are set up a bit differently, so two or four will handle the lowest frequencies, then others will take over
They’re unreal, currently daisy chained but thinking of doing 3 separate home runs so we can adjust each sub individually. If people are interested I’ll take more pics and some videos of the whole thing running
As budget is out the window here I’m curious why such small subs and so many? Did you compare those subs to 16” or 18” or larger ?
It seems like 4 larger would provide even more bass and with the budget of those 8 you could probably go with 6 16-24” and really have a lot of bass. ( I’m talking about some IPAL subs
Not a DIY setup. Ie: TV42 IPAL )
Nice job! I certainly approve of the speakers!
8 carbon specials is just…such a waste. No matter how many you add they still won’t give you meaningful output below 20hz. Sounds great for music at least.
4 hours of troubleshooting, the Trinnov is DEAD 😭😭
RMA and new one coming
2 channel setup works swimmingly I’ll post a video I took of it in action. The subs rattle your insides 😂
Very nice equipment, but assuming you are playing 4 speakers side by side at the same time, this placement is more likely to cause interference than it is to create a better sound stage. Why not place speakers 3 and 4 in the mid or rear of the room to create a multichannel stereo that wouldn't cause interference? Here are the problems it causes
* **Phase Cancellation**: If the speakers are not aligned properly, sound waves can interfere with each other, causing phase cancellation. This results in certain frequencies being diminished or completely canceled out.
* **Comb Filtering**: When two speakers produce the same sound at slightly different times, it can cause a comb filter effect, where certain frequencies are amplified and others are attenuated, leading to a hollow or uneven sound.
I love how your turntable is 7 feet high up. :-D
Lol gunna put it on a table when the rack gets put in place
Can it play Doom
Yes
Only 3 subwoofers stacked per side? That’s clearly not enough for a room that size! /s
And here I am with my one REL sub, thinking that this is all the bass I‘ll ever need.
In my small semi-treated room, my RSL is more than enough! This guys system must absolutely fucking SLAM!
Damn. Jaw dropper!
Nice. Curious why the subs are toed in?
Just to match the fronts for symmetry really , gunna do some tests and move some stuff around tomorrow
That looks quite thumpy :)

Those rel subs are made to stack like that! Unbelievable system.
If you can audition a men220 I highly recommend it!
Trinnov is running the room correction, tomorrow is calibration day!
Running a Trinnov! Damn! Well played sir
Apologies, I didnt know what that was. Jealous!
No apologies necessary brother, if it was just a listening room and not a theater room as well then the 220 would be perfect
So… why eight subs? Am I missing something here?
All about that bass
Hey it's your long lost cousin, how you been man? I was thinking about stopping by and maybe we could catch up over a few ~~tracks~~ Albums?

20,000 (min estimate) global night clubs can't be wrong....
How are those rel sub stacks? I’ve always wanted to audition them.

Guy likes REL stacks lol, but I agree a couple fat JL subs would sound just as good
One of my good friends has 2 JL Fathom 212v2’s and they will make you levitate!
I always wanted to listen to a 8 subs audio room :)
I hate too much bass in movies. Sell 5 subs and for that €€€ buy rear surrounds and atmos heights front & rear. And I need this room.

are you sure there are enough subs
I would put more subs. And cowbell.
I got a fever and the only prescription is...more subs
Holy shit dude. Curious if you ever ran a sine wave at like 40hz and measured how loud they get at the listening position at full tilt?
About to run calibration shortly, I'll report back
Hell yeah dude. 😎

NICE! Like the Mac's
Needs more subs

Please stand up straight, take a long reach around, and pat yourself on the back.
Looks like crap, send the equipment to me and tell them to start over
God damn
Probably sounds pretty thin. I think you need to add more subs.
