I purchased a budget Andrew jones pioneer 8" sub for my new soundbar. This is the first sub that I have been able to successfully get to sound right in my room.
Wondering why all my expensive larger subs have never worked out.

What's the room size? Is there anything that made it particularly difficult like shape etc?

It could just be that the Pioneer doesn't go as low and is not as loud as the others. Maybe your room has nasty peaks/nulls at frequencies where now this sub is radiating less.
More is not always better with subs.

It is a smaller room 12x17x8 and the only other time I had good bass is when I had the Goldenear tritons 2s. The room definitely suffers from some nasty room modes

Ah, that's the exact size of my room. I have the speakers on the long side, just few inches away from the wall, but about 3' from the side walls and I do not have a sub (yet!). Other than a big couch and wall to wall carpet there isn't much absorbing material around.
If and when I get a sub it might get fun :-)

That's funny, because I am bout to move my 2 PSA XV-15 into a room less than half the size of the one I am in now. I am SUPER excited. I can only imagine!!!
Grats on finding a good budget system you are happy with.

Grats on finding a good budget system you are happy with. What size room are you moving to? I'm in a 1600 cf room with a pair of those subs, really nice slam! |
