Hi All,
Starting a new thread to get more views on subwoofers. There is some repeated info from another thread, sorry, but easier than typing it all again. I currently have some equipment that I want to set up in a surround sound system. I need some ideas as to what else to use. I have a pair of JBL 4647A (incase any don't recall to save from looking up is essentially 4507 Cabinets with 2226 speakers ) with 2380A horns on top with 2445J drivers. I want to use these as my front mains in my surround sound set up. I have decided on JBL 8330 or 8340 for surrounds. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should use for a subwoofer, or two?
Also need ideas for a crossover setup for the 2380/2245. Because these are screwed to the top of the 4647's. I do plan to build an enclosure around them, but right now they are attached with L brackets. They came this way when I bought them, with no corssover. And according to some research (in other forums) a whisper over 500 Hz will fry the coil in the horns, so I need a way to avoid this for when I replace the diaphragms. I am strongly considering using active crossovers (typically less resistive, thus less compromising the sound, no matter how minimal.) But, JBL does make speakers with passive crossovers, so I was also considering those. Ideas? Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance
Eric
