good points here in this little tirade from eastwood hi-fi... :D


"November 27th - Trying to sell a good subwoofer can be a chore sometimes. People who spend $1000 or more on a sub. want to HEAR it. The problem is, a good subwoofer should be totally unobtrusive for music and totally blend in with the main speakers. I had a guy in this morning who wanted a demo. of a subwoofer and was totally unimpressed when he couldn't "hear" it. When I turned it off, the whole bottom end collapsed and the music sounded flat, when I turned it back on the music was fuller with the bass guitarist right there in the room with us but as he couldn't "hear" the subwoofer, he figured it was no good and went back to Harvey's to buy a Richter which - in his words - Kicked Him In The Nuts. From now on, I figure instead of demonstrating the musicality of a subwoofer, I'll just get a mallet and whack the next guy in the testicles in time with the music, at least I won't lose any more sales to Duff Duff subwoofers."

...wow... :eek: ...i guess the moral of the story is "don't be this guy". :o

The moral of this story is MOST PEEPS HAVE TIN CAN EARS. And have no clue as to what a well set up sub should do.

Next time just run the sub 6-12dB hot and let the peon suffer. The more they bleed from the ears the better,and the faster you will sell. :p
