Hi,
I am new here so first of all like to say a big hullo there to all.
I have a most interesting "problem" , My current system is in need of a better subwoofer, I currently have a "shiva" in a 4.1 cuft box , ported to 23hz with 600 (real) watts up its rear, it cannot keep up with my sva system.. and runs out of slam (bottoms) before i hit reference level and I am looking for a driver with the capabilities to keep up with the rest of the system.
Current system consists of sva 2100 fronts , 1600 center, 1800 rears (5.1 here none of the faffy 93.1 channels) I simply get better bass and output if i mix the LFE with the fronts, I cannot believe that!
I have tons of power on tap, I have even tried giving the sub 1400w from a p.a amp (bunker bk-10 ) this amp is currently driving my "buttkicker" , so its not a question of clean power or head room , maybe room modes are killing me off, but i need somewhere to start looking before i shell out again.
Has anyone used a sub that can keep up with this type of system, its used primarily for H.T not really music , must be able to handle the peaks, For example.. wotw almost kills this little shiva, and it iwas very highly reccomended.
sorry for the long post.
Regards
Gary.
