I'm going to move into an apartment soon, I have a 15.5 x 8 subwoofer, would ordering two sets of these help with the vibrations the subwoofer?

It depends on how you define 'help', but by how you phrased the question, my guess is not really. These will help reduce the mechanical coupling path between the woofer and the surface they sit on. For example, if they're on a desk it will prevent your pens from rattling, and improve the audio experience. If you are concerned with reducing vibrations that your neighbors feel, I don't think they will be sufficient. My apartment is particularly poor for isolation, the only way I've been able to have my neighbors not hear my subwoofer is to not use a subwoofer.... Good luck!

Slightly perhaps but bass frequencies are pretty non directional and travel better than anything else and if your room booms and rattles then so will your neighbor's.

I am not sure. You could turn down the base to reduce the subwoofer effect.

yes these will work great in your arraingment you are trying to create. However the subwoofer is passive not active so it does not need power and the speakers run through it so cant seperate the speakers from it. Use it as a set you wont regret.

The bass is OK but you are definitely not getting the same lows as a subwoofer will provide. For me however this is preferable, as I don't think my neighbors would enjoy resonating bass. If you don't have that problem, I would recommend a subwoofer if you really want the full bass sound.

Forma indoor work great with adicional subwoofer. But forma outdoor i dont recomendó you.

Yeah, it should work just fine. Your only problem is these speakers don't pick up low frequencies so things like explosions won't give you that rumble feeling.

Yes, people also add second subwoofer as well, all depends on the size of your room.

Yes. They will work very well. This subwoofer is absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed.

They are designed (poorly might I add) to be felt not heard, so yes a sub is required. I would have to say that you may need 8-10 of these to work and even then you will not be happy with their performance. Ideally you would mount it directly to the bottom of the sofa on a flat surface. A separate sub amp will need to be purchased to run the four Shakers, don't exceed the 50 watt limit of each shaker and may need to hook them in series and in parallel so as not to exceed the ohm limits of the amp. All this work and you will undoubtably be unhappy with the time and money spent. Buy a cheap 12" powered sub, gut it and mount that under your sofa, thats what I did; that will really shake your sofa.

A subwoofer will help, but you'll want a particularly intense one if it's to make a meaningful difference. These pound at lower frequencies than a 10" Polk sub I use for a different system, and they do it very well. I wouldn't say not to get one to fill in the even lower frequencies if you'd like, but you won't feel like you're missing too much if you don't have one.

Great combination my friend! You wont go wrong. But consider everything you will be pushing through them too. The speakers alone will give you full, clear, acoustic sound. If you plan on listening to music that is more bass driven or action movies (with explosions and such) then consider adding a sub too. Nothing to shake up the neighborhood, just something that will take you all the way through the experience. Good luck!

I'm probably not the best person to answer the question. This is my first subwoofer. I'm happy with it, and this was after trying out three other ones beforehand. It's very compact and seems to do the job. Sounds like our rooms are about the same size.

I can't help you with that.I replaced 15 inch woofers in an old Technics system and they work great.

If there's a bedroom right above they're going to hear it. Regarding neighbors, if you're in a multi-unit townhouse our something similar they're going to hear it as well. If you're in a SFR it's no problem unless you're screaming like Bruce Lee. Regardless, my suggestion would be to add a good strong spring to your set-up to take stress off the wood beam/mount and to also reduce noise somewhat.

Should. If not get two. Cuz two small ones will give better sound than one large one. Place them on opposite sides of the room if you go with two.

It should be fine as long as your subwoofers are 4 ohm. The amp is 2 ohm stable and in fact supplies greater amperage at 2 ohms

I have a 15 x 20 foot room w/ a Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer. Bass sounds great.
