I was gonna turn my 4 driver ib into an 8 driver ib with the extra four AE IB15 drivers that i have laying around (I currently have a 4 driver ib up front). I set a Velodyne 15" in back to try out the Audyssey Sub EQ HT that came with my new pre pro to find the best location for the planned ib. I've always heard that more subs are better than one (I count the 4 driver ib as one).
What a difference adding the Velodyne made. Smoother bass across the board and better integration as well. I am sure the pre pro has something to do with it too.
The thing is, I can only turn up the ib to quarter power and the Velodyne to like 1/20th volume! I cannot imagine that I would ever need another ib in place of the single sub I put in the back of the room. I really don't understand why so many guys go nuts and build monster sub arrays. I get it that it is fun and there are bragging rights but come on. Not to insult anybody at all, thats not my intention. I guess I am just getting too old.
