Ok, before anyone has a go, I've read the threads on using two subs on the same channel (.1) and the problems of colocation etc, but this is a different question. Promise.
I've been interested in adding a sub in parallel with my centre channel since hearing one set up in the REL room at the Manchester show a couple of years ago. They were showing the classic scene from the end of Open Range, and the weight of the gunfire was stupendous.
My current setup is in my footer and all speakers are set to small, with all bass to my Monolith. So, my thinking would be that I could add a second, slightly smaller sub (say an XLS200 or new XLS300) using my amp's centre channel output (either low level, or using the neutrik and the centre channel speaker output), and changing the centre channel to large. I think that thru filtering, I could roll off the centre sub where the centre speaker starts to give up.
What are anyone's thoughts on this? Does anyone have a similar setup at home? Would I run into the same sort of problems as a more standard 2 sub setup (I can't see that I would as the two subs would be playing different channels)?
All thoughts welcome folks! Cheers.
