I have 2 of the ts-sw3002s4 subs. It's range tops at 125 hz. This sub goes to 230 hz. I feel like I've got a gap in low/midbass. Did I mess up?

You should let the subs burn in for about a month and it will start to sound better. Twelves are really meant for low frequency bass and in my opinion sound best when playing frequencies below 150 hz. I set mine for 100 hz down. Eights are better for mid-bass frequencies, but my twelve got much better the older it got.

If you are getting unsatisfactory sound from two separate sources it has nothing to do with the set. I have the same shouldn't and it sounds fine to me. I would suggest going into your equalizer settings and adjusting until you find the amount of treble you like.

Hmmm . . . the only thing I can think of then is that perhaps you have a defective unit. On mine, the low end is full and powerful, so much so that I've never felt the need for a sub (I'm using JBL L880's by the way). Curious--do you also notice this phenomenon with headphones?

Well I have two quantum cosmic series 12's on the 2.1500 and it sounds like my jeep is going to rattle apart. Both of my subs are rated at 1200 if I'm not mistaken . I'm happy with it's performance on both subs. Recently I bridged it onto just one of the subs and it sounds fine but it just won't tune right . But to answer your question I'm satisfied . As long as your not trying to hit on the db meter you'll be satisfied with the performance and the price

Big difference between bookshelf speaker and surround speaker! Other answers are quite correct, your other speakers and/or subwoofer should handle the lower frequencies. I like good low bass so I am using two DefTek subwoofers w/500 watt amplifiers driving a 15 inch speaker. I was using a pair of Kenwood surrounds just like these DefTeks w/dual radiating speaker array, but I wanted to get all the bass from those surrounds so I ran the surround speaker wires to these Yamaha YST-SW216BL Subwoofers from Amazon and then to the Kenwoods, wow, pumps out great low frequencies from surround channels in addition to the LFE from the subs.

I found my set to be very balanced in sound. In my old unit, the bass distorted at high volume. This unit appears to balance the bass with the other sounds. Could your unit be defective?

Even though your mains go down to 48 hz, the general consensus of audiophiles is to set your cross over around 125 hz. This allows your mains to focus on the higher hz, making them more efficient (it takes much more power for low hz) and allowing the sub to do what it does best. YMMV

Agree with others--probably just need to adjust your receiver settings or check your sub. My receiver and sub sound great in my room and even outside for gatherings.

I am questioning this purchase. My son uses it for vocals. It used to sound better but now it is all Bass. I suspect the high frequency driver is blown and am in the process of replacing ($80).Does it produce quality high frequencies at all? If not, may be the same issue.

It sounds like you shouldn't run Audyssey with Bose speakers. Just go through the tone test and try to level out the output. Then adjust to ear. The bass module isn't a true subwoofer so there may be problems there. Also, Bose is rather...um, proprietary about their products, so it doesn't surprise me to see the speakers don't "play well with others".

It Is Mono So It Is 400 RMS For Both Subs Not Per...And You Might Want More Watts...I Do...400 Does Not Get The Ultra Low Notes Enough Punch

When I purchased the 75T's, I had the same question. The most detailed comparisons I found said that the low frequency range was slightly larger for the 75T's and that the highs are somewhat muted. The overall consensus was that it is very difficult to hear any difference between the two speakers; both are great pieces of equipment.

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

Bill, I doubt anything "went wrong", but the Yamaha may not deal with potential impedance differences between your main speakers and your sub. Luckily, Yamaha allows you to set up levels for each set of speakers (front, center, back, sub) from within the setup menus. Using the remote, do the following:setup -> speaker -> level -> scroll down to "sub" and raise the level (default is flat (0db)) until you like how it sounds. hope this helps,gfd

I had the same question. My recommendation would be to give SVS a call. Tell them what your primary and secondary uses would be, and how large your space is. They were very helpful when I called them with a virtually identical question. The short answer, though, is that poorly-made ported subs tend to range a little deeper but not sound as *clean*. If you call SVS though, they'll tell you their ported sub isn't poorly made, and that the difference between their PB and SB is the PB digs deeper and with a little more power, but it's a bigger box that takes up more space in the room, people with smaller rooms/apartments may want/need the smaller SB option. But again, IMO, call SVS. They were very helpful for me,

Yes the bass is very nice but not overpowering the highs mids. I would say perfect. Check out my review on YouTube just search max Yuryev sl99
