Re: Ordered my BFD, But What I Really Need is a New Listening Room


I've got the same problem. In my prior house, my listening area / home theater was about 4,500 cubic feet with a PB-12 / Plus-2. It rocked! It did a reasonably nice job of pressurizing the room and the bass was wonderful.

We moved to a different home which is substantially larger with vaulted ceilings, large open entries between rooms, open stairwells to the lower and upper levels, etc. It's an awesome home - the downside is that my sub now needs to fill 46,000 cubic feet. Ouch! I believe an Infinite Baffle sub might do the trick but I don't think my neighbors would be too happy. A dedicated home theater or listening room is out of the question so I guess I'll just have to tune my existing sub and live with it. Oh how I miss the chest pounding LFE I used to have! I wonder if bass shakers will make me feel any better about my missing bass?

If I ever do install that IB sub, perhaps I might need your legal services as well . . .
