Thought this would be the better place to ask. I've got a pair of Yamaha HS7s that are really good, however I would like a litte more bass as I usually listen to them rather quiet. I've found this sub (thomann.de

What I assume is going to happen is that the sub will make a difference as long as the speakers play at low power, however when I turn up the volume, the yamahas will outperform and overshadow the sub?
Eli Ramirez
Why not just get the HS8S
Tyler Lopez
Ideally I need something compact as the Fostex, it is ~300 euro cheaper, and the HS8S is way too powerful for my needs
Evan Cooper
look up the frequency response of the HS7 and compare it to the fostex
why a "sub" with a 5 inch woofer versus something with a 10 or 12 inch woofer?

I see the fostex is 60 - 150Hz while the HS7 is 43 - 30k. I guess the HS7 is lower and the fostex will make no difference at all then? My main point is that I usually listen to the yamahas at low volume and need a little more bass at that. When I turn up the volume they are perfectly deep for my needs, so I only need something small. Something like the HS8S would be overkill and a waste of money

HS7 has a 6.5 inch woofer, and perhaps you'd want a subwoofer with 10" cone, with 35-100K range, so you could make the crossover at 60 or 80K and take some work off the Yamaha woofer; but a 10" subwoofer won't be that portable or small as you'd like
like: Frequency Response: 34Hz - 150 KHz. 10" woofer with rubber surround and paper cone with painted

they have some weird reviews related to "hiss" so buyer beware

Only one rule applies to subwoofers. The bigger the better. Full stop.
Dont go cheap. Dont go small.

>bigger is better
depends on the quality of the driver make
cost has nothing to do with it on the resale market

Get yourself something good, like a Martin Logan subwoofer.

Lol... i have that one. It's not that good. Like a pair of smallish Dynaudio Contours go about as low and tighter and with better presence.

no im talking physics fool. i designed and built my own subwoofer with bassbox 6 simulation software many moons ago. Big box and long ports give you deep tuning options. my sub ended up being rolling off only -6db @ 20hz
[pic related] is 12 years ago.

but its still shit
fuck off aged DIY plebe

do you even own a subwoofer little angry man ?
William Johnson
So, calm down gramps.

If you're looking for big bass from a small sub, then you'd do good to check out some 2nd hand Carver Sunfire subs.
Here's an ebay example of one.

Thing is, compact and deep bass does not mix. You need a big driver in a big box to get deep bass.
Adam Morris
>old school
increased driver excursion, increased magnet strength, and paired driver excursion, coupled with the room, utilizes the entire room as "the box"
which is why some of these inconspicuous, smaller modern subwoofers will tear your house down
their smaller cone size also means they are more responsive and match well with faster modern midrange drivers
