Hey guys,
Im seriously having a hard time deciding on a subwoofer. For starters, im using a Klipsch system, RF-63 fronts, Rc-64 center, and RS-62 rears. I need a sub. I dont want to spend anymore than $2000- on something. Speaking with my local sound guy, he suggests a pair of klipsch RSW-10d's. He mentions the driver speed on a 10" will be alot faster than that of a 12" or larger which in turn will deliver tighter base, is this correct? How far off is the diference between a 10" and a 12"?
I was looking at the Klipsch RT-10D and the JL Fathom F110 Next question is how low the sub goes, I see the klipsch Rt-10d hits as low as 22-120hz where as a JL Fathom ranges from 27-111, i know there is more to it than that, like how bad the sub provides audible distortion at that freq, and how loud (db rating) the sub is at that volume, is this correct? On the JL site for the Fathom 10, i see numbers like -3 dB at 25 Hz / 120 Hz OR -10 dB at 19 Hz / 155 Hz What do they mean?
There is an ocean of information to sift through, im trying to make a respectable choice while still being able to range within my budget, Im also considering the look of the woofer/cabinet assembly. Keeping this in mind, I really like the way the Klipsch woofers look as well as the look of the JL Fathom series, Im debating on the F110, the RT-12d, and the RT-10d. How do you guys feel about a 10vs a 12" driver, and what do you think would be right for me in regards that mentioned above and as far as these woofers matching my current system?
Thanks,
Aaron
