Hey all,
I recently have been building a small HT piece by piece. I started with my Amp (Onkyo 705) then bought bookshelves (User S520s).
So next logically was the sub to fill in the low frequency. My friend was selling his HSU STF 2, I had heard it, liked it, and bought it off him.
I have a TV small room, almost exactly 12 x 12, and I thought a 10" sub would provide great sound in here.
Now that I have placed it in my room, I am no so happy with the sound. It is not clean, I feel I am getting a huge bass gap between the bookshelves and the Sub. Not only this, I have completely lost any real “punchy-ness.” It just sounds tuned way to low.
I have it set to cross at 80hz with the speakers, the crossover on the sub is out, I have played with the gain, and still sounds like I am having a huge bass gap.
I am thinking either placement is the issue, or possibly the sub just doesn’t play well up to 80hz. I’m not sure.
It’s Impossible to make a real assessment without any pictures, So I’ll try to post some up tonight.
My real question is, is this sub tuned too low? If I am expecting a sub to hit hard, is this not the sub for me? It gets great extension, but I want something that will hit bass drums with authority.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks all.
