    Question JBL Control SB-2 Slot-Loaded Vented Bandpass Subwoofer

    I have a pair of JBL Control 28 speakers for my home stereo.

    http://www.avgiant.com/JBL-Control-2...2&category=444

    I was wondering if the JBL Control SB-2 would compliment my setup without any additional equipment.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I use this subwoofer with a pair of control 5's that are wall mounted. I did not care for the sub's crossover (too crude, in my opinion) so I am using an active equalizer (80 Hz fixed) and feed the sub via an old SAE A-502 (200 watt/ch).

    It's a rockin' combo!

    Would you mind taking some pictures of your setup?

    I'd love to see the SB-2 in action.

    Can do. I have the control-5's wall mounted using MTC-51's. The SB-2 is corner mounted off to one side and the stereo in the other corner. Pics tomorrow, too tired today!

    Thanks, I appreciate it.

    In the meantime, how is the build? Does the particle board feel flimsy?

    Also, someone mentioned this on another forum.

    " Frequency Range (-10 dB): 38 Hz-160 Hz "

    That spec alone pretty much knocks it out of consideration for serious HT use.
    Would you consider that statement true?

    Thanks for taking the time to assist me. You're a tremendous help.

    Yes that statement is true, IMO as well. I use it for sound reinforcement and it performs quite well in that role.

    Interesting, good to know. How is the build? Any scratches or minor damages?
