considering getting a 12" sub that goes to 12 Hz. Will it break my tempered glass wall nearby ?

Hopefully :D but highly unlikely unless you throw the sub through it.

With that sub I would not worry, but if you had these then you might be in trouble. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b140/hoss3430/theater/DSC_0004.jpg
Four 18" in each box and a lot of power.

No, not unless the wall is just about ready to fall under it's own weight anyway. 12Hz is pretty optimistic for a 12" sub-with any useable output anyway. What sub are you considering?

No way.

I have dual 18's that get my non-tempered windows flapping half an inch.

Tempered is *way* stronger.

Actually, it is not. As it looks right now, another 6 drivers and 3 more amps will be added.

He has four of ED's 18" drivers. It is kind of like having eight ED A7S-450's. I am not sure how much power he is running to each of them, but I know that it is a lot.

That is a sick setup though. I would love to know how hard those subs hit. Can you even breath in that room when there on? :D

It only a 65" HP. lol

People can't believe that the drivers in the main speakers are 8"'s. :D

For giggles, you should cover the subs somehow, make them disappear but still connected and tell folks that's all Klipsch! Heck, really mess with them and just connect a few little bookshelf speakers.

LOL, or have an IB sub and Bose, and show everyone how deep those Bose can go.

Im getting ready to install my first IB. I plan to do just that with my oldish bookshelf JBL speakers... They have decent "bass" for a bookshelf, but, not 2 15's worth!

I wonder what the bass would feel like if you pulled the couch out a few feet from the back wall and laid the two subs on their sides, one on top of the other, right behind the couch...now THAT would be some impressive near field placement :D. Not to mention you'd probably get a better surround effect with some space behind the LP ;).
