Hey Everyone,
I have been saving up for a future purchase of some 5Ts, 4BPs, and a 5C. These speakers will be in a 17ft x 13ft room, and use is 50/50 music/movies. Deciding which sub to get is giving me a lot of trouble though so I'm hoping you all can help me out!
I like a lot of bass, and I like to be able to feel it too. I like feeling the "double bass" hits of hardcore music in my chest, I like explosions in movies to have a visceral impact, I like to feel like I was standing next to the cannon as it fired, etc. Budget is a concern for me, otherwise I'd just get 2 12Ds and be done with it! As it is, I can only afford around $1000 worth of Sub.
So the question is: do I go for 1 12D or 2 8Ds?
1) Which would provide the most amount of tactile feedback from the things mentioned above?
2) If the dual 8Ds would provide more tactile response, is it worth giving up the 10+ hz extension the 12D would give me?
3) I'm told that going with dual subs really helps smooth out the bass response in rooms, from this point alone is it worth it go go the 8D route, or should I stick with the 12D?
4) Is there another option that I'm not considering and should be?
Could any 12D owners chime in with regards to the tactile impact/feel of the sub? Is anyone running dual 8Ds that could share their experiences?
Thanks in advance for the replies!
