You could get a few more sets of X-530s and chain them together

Talk about surround sound..

Well, I figure 1 sub ticks off those anywhere in my home, 2 would would make my neighbors (approximately 15 from my computer) hear a bit, 3 would probably make them tell me turn it down, so 3 140 watt subs =420 watts. Doesn't seem like a lot but when you put it on "increase bass DSB by 20" and "Hi output bass boost" even one sub in the right spot they can hear. I have it in direct air and it feels like a huge wind gust. I'm sure 3 of them on the same setting would do the trick......gees my family's going to kill me for doing this lol

your 96 and worried about your family killing you for having subwoofers?

and as for the bass thing...

I have 3000Ws going to my two 15" powered Definitive subwoofers and you can BARLY hear it outside... partly cause i'm in the basement....

instead of one sub, why not one big one?

ADE · 12-22-2006, 03:01 AM

Cuz its cheaper to buy the same model subs and string them together than to buy a whole new sub. Hmm....maybe I want 4.....

Edit- you know what I say, "The older the wiser, UNLESS You have alzheimer's."
And if you dont know what I say, well then, now you know.

You would be surprised how hard it is to really make a lot of noise

I once had two subs like the one I have in my room now. I connected them both to my stereo. Each has it's own amp, so they weren't sharing power or anything. I honestly couldn't tell when one or both were going.

Well if a car sub can do it, so can I.

Ku-sama · 12-22-2006, 03:07 AM

A car sub is also in a sealed box, 12"+ subwoofer and atleast 1000W

1000W! Now that wouldn't be your average sub....most people only put ~500W.

...........dang, I would need like 6 of these then....I wonder if I pulled one out of a car and modified it for computers.....
