[QUOTE="Morgan Irwin, post: 1138208, member: 17017"] What [USER=517]@KenMasters[/USER] said above. but a bit more info, if I may: Essentially, if you look at their frequency response they are designed for high volume output, but not detailed bass at low frequencies. Looking up the user manual of the subwoofer you have linked above, it is only rated at: 41 Hz - 122 Hz(±3 dB), and their roll-off is harsh: 39 Hz - 150 Hz (-10dB) which means that that the bass basically falls off immediately below the rated frequency response. If you were to take an equivalent cone area from a reputable home cinema subwoofer company like M&K: V15+ the rating is 20-200 Hz (Average Response in Room +/- 3 dB) If you were to look at a home cinema subwoofer with a comparable retail price: M&K: V10+ the rating is 24-200 Hz (Average Response in Room +/- 3 dB) Note: I am currently getting 26hz as the in-room response in my own home cinema room, so their rating is very close. With a fairly shallow roll-off In essence, you get a lot better audio and more accurate response from a subwoofer that is designed for home cinema use than you would from a PA subwoofer. Remember that there is a lot is of bass information in movie soundtracks, and you would want to capitalise on this by delivering as much of the audio soundtrack as possible. [/QUOTE]
