I currently have two 8" speakercraft ceiling speakers in my kitchen and there is simply not enough base. So, i just purchased a JBL Northridge E250P 12" sub and want hook it up for more bass.

My question is: I have a corner closet and I want to know if I can put this sub in the closet, close the door and let her rip. Will the bass carry though the door and echo out into the kitchen? Will it cause more distortion? What are the downsides of doing this?

Also, what do you guys think about the JBL Northridge E250P 12" sub?

Thanks for your advice/input!

I guess it would give a new meaning for "coming out of the closet" :rolleyes:

Wouldn't it muffle the sound severely? Or at least if there was enough bass, rattle the door?

Maybe if the door had cushioning and a screen so the sound could come out could I see it working.

This is a joke, right? I mean... a sub in the kitchen? :rolleyes:
BTW it is BASS, not base.

I have an entire 'good' stereo in my kitchen: Denon 2910, Yamaha 2500, B&W 601's, and a Yamaha sub (I know -- but I lowered the tuning point and it's not bad now). The sub sits on top af a large oak wardrobe.

No, you can't put a sub in a closet and close the door. Well, you CAN -- try it! :)

If you can leave the door open or remove it that's another story.

Placing any speaker/sub in a closet and closing the door.... :p You do that...for storage yes.


In other words not a godo idea at all.The radiated energy has to radiate into the space you will be in.Or else its like a car with windows rolled up,doors closed and the systems playing inside,you outside. ;)

How about this:

I was searching for this as well.... was just a curious thought...

I have a Pb12-Plus in my bedroom, but its a small bedroom, and there is a double door closet, not deep but wide, and If I ran the sub with the closet doors open and only closed them when not in use, I was curious how it might work...

I think I'll try it tonight....

I could easily fit a new PC-Ultra in there, standing up, it would take up less room...


Thoughts...?

In the kitchen, I like to keep a sub in the refrigerator.

I currently have 4 12" subs in my refrigerator!

I bet the door rattles and hums kinder gives new meaning of things that go bump in the night when you hear the door creaking open behind you!:D

I guess that’s called Sub Zero then! :D

That would be a super-sealed sub, not very efficient. 1000 watts for a little hum.
