I now have another SVS PB12-Plus due to be delivered next week and I blame it on all of you Lounge members that have been pushing at least a dual subwoofer setup. You guys are a bad influence!!! ;D Especially Edogg. Me???!!! What I do?!!! ;D Congrats on the subs man! Just think of what it'll sound like when you add 2 more. Quads all the way baby!! ;D lol Edogg you would ask 10 or 20 ?

It is a very human feeling. Once you discover a good thing, you just want more of it. However, I think that the point of diminishing returns begins after 4 subs. Look at my sig. I'm still waiting for Emo to release the X/Ref-15s so that I can finally arrive at 4 subs ;D

Ya LC, quit being a sissy and step up!! I heard that running anything less than 4 subs means you have a small..... pee pee....wait, or was that the other way around?? Ugh Ohhh for Eric and me! Well for you, small pee pee. For me, not so much. ;D Me???!!! What I do?!!! ;D Congrats on the subs man! Just think of what it'll sound like when you add 2 more. Quads all the way baby!! ;D lol Edogg you would ask 10 or 20 ? Hey I only have 4, but Nate has close to 20! Now that dude has issues. ;D I finally got dual subs and I cant believe I waited this long. Now I want quads. ^^^ Ya see LC! ;D It is a very human feeling. Once you discover a good thing, you just want more of it. However, I think that the point of diminishing returns begins after 4 subs. Look at my sig. I'm still waiting for Emo to release the X/Ref-15s so that I can finally arrive at 4 subs ;D For me, in my room, with my listening tastes, 4 subs was perfecto! They just coast along barely breaking a sweat, until you need the THUNDER baby!! It's called headroom boys, better have more than needed, than not enough. ;D

Jamrock, It looks like delivery by R&L Carriers will be next Wednesday so I'll be giving my impressions soon after I'm sure. Eric, I've never doubted you, it was just a matter of time!

I would advice buying a subwoofer that has as much low end extension as possible over a lot of grunt. Especially if you like classical or jazz recordings.

I have stereo subs flanking the system plus an IB in the ceiling, and I'm in the process of building another set of subs so I can distribute 4 across the front of the listening room, or perhaps two in the front and one on each side wall, whichever measures better. And yes, I use them for classical and jazz recordings and wouldn't have it any other way.

I've been considering an IB for the rear but just can't get past the paranoia.

You can put an IB anywhere it fits. Then add EQ if necessary.

Okay here is a Brain Teaser for all you experts.
What if you have multiple Subs of Different Sizes? For example, soon I’ll have 2 Sunfire Super Jr’s. 8 inch subs, w/1000 watt amp. They’ll be fast, they’ll provide tight base, but won’t go down past 30 or so. So what if, I get a couple of, or just one bigger sub and tune it to cover the lower frequencies that the smaller 8” sub can’t. Has anyone done this? I ask this because in a few years I may have to do this.

That's no problem. The only downside of using multiple drivers covering the same frequency bands is the possibility for phase cancellation at the listening location, so proper setup is the key. The sizes of the drivers matter not.
