Which subwoofers are right for your room size? Single or dual? Cubic feet? I get these questions regularly, here are the surprising answers... Vv Click "SHOW MORE" vV

"The List", explosive, deep impact subwoofers, with truly game changing bass: http://www.subwoofer101.com/best-subw...

At least once a week, I get questions about room size. It's common to calculate square footage, or cubic footage of a room, when trying to decide. I think it's a waste of time, if you're doing it right.

The only time room size is an issue is when the room is MASSIVE. That's simply because in a massive room, you might need to turn the volume up higher in general. More output potential, or headroom, keeps you from bumping into the limits of the subs at higher listening levels.

Otherwise, as long as you can fit dual MATCHED subs (*from The List), you can run them, getting the same benefits as someone in a large room would: More explosiveness as you go up in wattage and size.

There are caveats to this. The PB-3000 is nearly as explosive as the PB-4000. The PB-2000 Pro is noticeably more explosive than the PB-2000 original. The PB-16 Ultras are the most explosive subs I've heard yet.

The NEW PB-1000 Pro's are on par with the PB-2000 original, in a smaller, more versatile package. https://sub101.link/PB-1000-PRO

The issues for small rooms will have to be dealt with, no matter which subs you get. Boundary gain is the big culprit. XT32, or similarly regarded "top shelf" room correction can help you control it, as I have in the RV.

I see people saying, "That sub is way too big for your room, and you don't need duals in such a small area."

WAY WRONG ANSWER!!

Matched dual subs create constructive interference, cutting down on dead spots dramatically. Room size does not impact this in an appreciable way.

My Bass Hack video methods, with a good pair of matched, deep bass subs, are seriously game changing, more than the subs can do on their own without my hacks.

I don't say that lightly.

The Distance Hack, Crossover Hack, Large vs Small Hack, Gain Hack, and the Adjusting Subs By Ear Hack, in that order, will dramatically improve your bass experience, with no real negative consequence.
