It shouldn't boom, though. If you have good placement, you should get clean bass effects, no boom at all. As for the "hit in my chest" bass, that requires a lot of sub for a room. It's not like a car. How big is your room?

No doubt. Different room sizes, shapes, and other room acoustic factors. For instance, if I move my EX just a couple feet to the right, it decreases in output noticeably. I figured out that it probably has to do with the wooden floors over a basement. I read somewhere that the proximity to the studs that support the floor (I forget what you call them) can affect the bass output because of how the bass can resonate in the space underneath. And then concrete is different from wood floors. Add all that together, we are all definitely getting "wildly different" reactions from our subs.

And yeah...rumble mania for sure with the F-14 Tomcat in Top Gun.

Man I gotta get all my Blu-rays!! And it will be next month after I finally get my surrounds to match up with my Martin Logans. Will go with the EM Series ESL (FX2).

Damn becareful 5db hot haha.

Charlie is right. Moving a sub just 2 feet over can change things big time.

I may have missed part of this conversation - but where exactly do you guys see the Dynamic EQ? Is it on the LFM-1 EX or your Recievers? I'd like to make sure mine isn't turned on.

I know on my Denon it is is Audyssey setting in the audio adjustment. You can also adjust the Dynamic volume aswell, but dynamic volume is disabled if you turn off Dynamic EQ. I know it has been talked about in the last few pages or so, but turning it off really made a big difference.

How close can you place this sub next to your LCD TV? I have another spot I would like to put this sub, but it would be below the TV. Roughly it would be about 2 feet below the set. I assume this sub is not magnetically shielded?

You can lay the TV on the sub if you wanted too. LCD/Plasma do not require magnetic shielding. I believe only tube TV's do, but don't quote me on that.

Tube TV's defiantly are affected that is why I asked! I have like two spots for this sub! So I am hoping this next move will give me a little better sound!

+1

It's an Audyssey feature that is available on newer Onkyo, Denon, and Marantz receivers.

What are you running Poke? I guess I am not for sure, but when I shut off the Dyn EQ, the setting for Dyn Volume disappears?

Hi pokekevin, don't think this is possible. FYI Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Vol setting is per input.

Yea, I only use Dynamic EQ with my TV input. Every other source has DynEQ/Vol off (well on sometimes w/Dyn EQ off)

Do you mean that there are times when you have Dynamic EQ off and Dynamic Volume on?

^^^ Pokekevin, not that I don't believe you but how did you managed to get Dyn Vol "on" with Dyna EQ "off"? Are you using buttons on the receiver, or remote or going into the menu? Care to share us with a pic ... it just seem odd.

Does anyone think Outlaw will still be making this sub in 5 years? I'm in a apartment now, so one is more than enough. However, I will be out of college in another year and probably settled in somewhere within 5 and could see myself wanting a second as space allows. Financially I could buy another now but, I have a hard enough time keeping the peace with the neighbors with one.
Should I buy now, wait for the clearance sale when they stop production (is this sale it?), or?

In 5 years you may want something totally different.

In 5 years, we will have paired up our original LFM-1 EXs with the LFM-1 Monster 15" sub

(wishful thinking)
