Even though the subwoofer is a really important part of any home theater or music system, it can be a tough sell. Subwoofers have gotten a bad reputation as being eyesores, space hogs, and booming bass boxes that only serve to annoy the neighbors. But a lot has changed over the past few years. There are now subwoofers of nearly every size and shape. In this video, we make the case for why you need a subwoofer and cover the different types of subwoofers available that might work best for your needs.

In my living room, I have a 7.4.4 Theater system. I put two SKAR DDR D2 15s in my Pioneer HPM 1100 cabinets, driven by two Crown XLS 2502 pro amps @ 2400 watts each. In back of the room is two SVS PB3000s. My amp is an Onkyo TX-RZ70, driving 11 speakers. My wife never complains, because in her private 11 X 12 foot room, she has an Onkyo TX-RZ820 AVR, driving 7 Klipsch speakers, two Klipsch R-12SW Subwoofers, and a 70 inch TV. As you said, it’s not about loud, it’s about quality. Although both systems also do a great job at “loud”. The area I live in has half acer lots, and no noise ordnances.
Rocking my original Logitech Z-560 4.1 speakers to this day. Bought them a few months after release in early 2002, and after 6 years of inactivity I cleaned them up a fe days ago and got them hooked up… Like brand new. The only noticeable sign of age is the oxidation on the volume controls that sends off lightning-strke crackles, lol. <3 I bought these for $200 in 2002, and I dare you to find better speakers for that price today.
All good bass wherever in the room? Questionable by science.
New to your channel. I do love your oooooomph to my brain.❤
My 18″ sub with 2000 watts going through it seems to eliminate “dead zones”. Just for fun, I recently acquired a 15″
Subwoofer to add into the system just in case.
