Subwoofer advice needed

dubplatemeditation · Post by **dubplatemeditation** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:23 pm

Just looking for a crisp, clear Subwoofer to connect to my computer really... Im not exactly picking up every bassline through the speakers i've got connected at the moment! Anything will do but I have no idea where to start looking and what to look for...
Any brands or model's you would recommend specifically?

Cheers people,
DM

Mate i've got these crappy little things for speakers temporarily but i'll be changing them soon, i'm just sorting out this sub for now
Any reason I should worry about my speakers aswell at this point?

You'll want to get a good set of speakers before you get yourself a sub mate. Subs are extras that are good to have once you get into things and have a bit of spare dollar.

Speakers are essential. All a subs good for are your lowest frequencies. Fair do's everyone likes to feel a bit of bass but get yourself a good set of speakers and you'll feel the bass anyway. If your currently using a budget set of shitty speakers i'd definitely invest in upgrading them instead of getting a sub for your shitty speakers, the two wouldnt work well together and you'd just end up having far too much bass in your music.

Is there a big price jump between the two?

I've got a set of KRK's for monitoring and listneing and theyre amazing.

I'd love a set of Mission speakers for listneing to music but theyre not essential at the moment.

If its just for listneing then honestly mate get yourself down to a crack converters and buy a hifi from them, theres normally some well good deals!!

I have KRKs for mixing as well as listening, and I love them. Great audio quality. I also have a KRK sub to match and it's great at producing lows.

I've got the new krk rp6 rokits theyre pretty good. Think i'm going to invest in a sub but theyre definitely better than the old technics speakers i've been using for the past couple of years. I can sit listening to dubstep and some wangy electro and happily feel the sub in my chest. I've got them running through my mixer so i just turn the bass up on that a little.

Yo i got the new 8 inch krk rokits and they are f*ckig amazing!
anyone have these matched with the sub?
the bass response is pretty ace already i reckon.
is it really necessary to add a sub for dubstep?

ive got the krk rp10 sub and i like it just fine. for me the extra bass is kind of counterproductive to making music because i find myself just listening to the track too much instead of finishing it!

I use a B&W sealed 10", that does the job very very nicely.
