The Official SVS Subwoofer Owners Thread!

[Sonnie Parker]

Just installed 4 of the SB16's in my room... still working on placement and tuning... pics to come.

The worst thing about these are flattening the boxes and packing up all the packing material and finding a place to store it. There are two of us in about a 3500sqft home with attic storage.... two storage buildings, a cabin ... and we have no place to store anything. Someone is going to have a field day when both pass, cause my wife doesn't seem to want to get rid of anything.

Here we go... 4x SB16-Ultras. I placed the front units in the front corners.. then the other two on each end of the back row of recliners after removing one of the four recliners and center the other three. I was about to start with what each one looked like and decided that I'd go ahead and give all four combined a quick measure.. and low and behold was I shocked. There were a couple of peaks at 56Hz and 114Hz..a and a minor peak at 46Hz... nothing crazy, but otherwise smooth. I started activating a few of the PEQ filters to see which of the subs would reduce the peaks... went thru each one... if it didn't fix the peak on that sub, I'd try the next. So after deciphering what filters needed to go with each sub and setting up the filters, here is what I have before I run Dirac Live. Flat down to 15Hz... no boosting at all... just cuts... incredible.

FOUR of these monsters?

 

[Tony V.]

Oh man! 15Hz @ 85db and a flat line! I am jealous

 

[Sonnie Parker]

Oh it was 15Hz on up above 100db... the first time I ran it I had the volume up too loud.

 

[Michael Scott]

wheeeeeee, thats' a smooth curve. Something I sadly havent' been able to get JUST right even with years of tweaking

 

[JStewart]

I think you need to start the sweep at 5Hz. And lose the boxes. You’re done.
