In Reply to: Do you find that your mains and center channel need a sub with a 5.1 setup? posted by Lonely Raven on March 27, 2000 at 09:51:03:
There can be quite a lot of bass in the center channel during explosions, etc. but I think they reserve the really deep stuff for the LFE channel. In the movie theater they don't have any limitations, so they can put bass whereever they want it. With 5.1 mixes on DVD, I think they route most if not all of the *deep* bass to the LFE, or sometimes a little to the mains. I would bet that if your sub is up to snuff, you should be fine as is.Some people have said that pans will be better if you have full range speakers on the front channels, but I would think it would be only marginally better if you already have the sub near the center, and especially if you have full range mains.
BTW, what is a folded horn on the sub?

I'm about to bring back to the shop my first sub, a jamo 410e, nom.power 100w, 10 inch, because, or im unable to fix the system correctly or its useless for my system. I have two full range sony speakers dated 1981 as front, rear infinity and b&w center channel.My receiver is onkyo 575 80 wpc.All this is regarding the use of the system for home theater, with dvd. Is it possible that since my front speakers are full range with a really big sub that in the specs goes down to 35hz?? the difference with the sub is minimal, or the system still benefits from it besides from preventing breakage during very low bass emissions of the sony speakers ? In addition to this i would also like to know if theres a difference between a sub, the jamo im trying now, whose sub is mounted "on the floor" and any other model which has the sub mounted on front. Im asking this because the room is not so good acustically speaking (very reflectant)and i get annoying vibrations with the sub. Could it be possible that getting a model with the sub mounted on front i could avoid or at least partially defeat that horrible fenomenon of standing waves ?
