My new sub. [Pics]

[Firegod]

Just thought I'd share some quick photo's. Think I may have to move it elsewhere as my left ear hurts after awhile. lol. Perhaps further down the room or something.

But my word it can pump out those low notes without much boom! Which is nice. And paired with the speakers there is a good balance between them.

Currently have it turned a quater of the way up. Loud enough for me!

Cheers. hehe.

nice ideally, you'll probably find its better at the other end of the room facing you. remember, placement is critical. dont just stick with putting it under the desk

Cheers mate. I've moved it. hahah. Down the end of the room by the T.V. The bass sounds better actually, so I think it was too close. Plus me ear doesn't hurt now!

Also hooked up the extra channel input as per the instructions for a 2-channel setup.

i was looking at that the other day when i bought my 916i's. what sort of price is it ?

In the shop it's like ~£230. I bought it from here:-

Wow thanks for all the comments. Much appreciated!

Thats a lovely looking sub.

I am going to purchase an amp(undecided) and probably the MS 902i's/Wharfedale DIAMOND 9.1.

What amp are you using and can i ask james miller what amp would you recommend ~ £150?

Chris

I'm using the Cambridge Azur 640A. It's by no means high-level but powers my little setup fine. Think it was around the £200 mark, can't remember now.

Nice Sub. (and nice Viewsonic monitor, used to have one)

I use a Mordaunt Short centre for my home cinema, which is quite nice. assuming the subs sound good too

Haha yeah the monitor has lasted a good while, looking to upgrade soon though. Keep wanting to buy a nice 24" tft but it's serious money.

Nice looking sub . Is it ported (ie, has a hole in it) or not? Doesn't seem to say in specs.

Yeah it has two, here's another pic for you.

Nice, so how is the speakers powered? wheres the amp?

The speakers are connected via speaker cable to the amp, here's a pic for you.

And all nice and neat together. lol.

Hope you have understanding neighbours! Looks a right beast!

Loving the retro case, I'm sure them things will become collectors items one day so many have been skipped recently there can't be many left!

Haha yeah the XaserIII, I really fancy the Zalman GT1000 but again, serious money +£200 just for a case! eek! lol. The XaserIII is a big case though, keeps my rig nice and cool... if a bit dated. lol.


Thanks again peeps!!

Good pics mate thanks, got the 902i's myself, been thinking of that sub, whats it like, how's it sound?

Well I don't have any fancy meters to adjust the frequency stuff, etc. Basically just plugged it in and altered the range until I heard just bass stuff and no instruments or singing from the sub. Then turned the volume to a 1/4 turn and it's great! Perfect for me, no way would I have it any louder either but it can handle most music well.

I've been listening to some heavy metal (Killswitch, Megadeath, Metallica, Slayer) and double bass pedal's are fine, and also some electric pop (Robyn) and Pendulum and all are great! Really shows how much a sub is required in a music setup. For the price I paid in that link I think you can't go wrong for £169.95. Quality sub as well, just like the speakers. Well made imo.
