Think I want to add a sub to my setup

Best of course is a pair of 1kW pk input 4cuft monitors with serious 15" woofers, but I bet even Trev' ain't going THAT far!

Bloodied but not bowed (well, not completely!)

*The "common knowledge" that we cannot localize LF is only true inside rooms. In the open air (or a very big room) we can for sure tell where the elephant is thundering down at us from!

No problem Dave...I knew what you were saying. You're absolutely right about everything you're saying. No worries.

Think I'm going to wait a bit to do this now actually, as I'm not going to be living in a permanent place for a few years (first year of uni at the moment!) and then in different places come September.

I'll do some more research into bass trapping though, thanks for the info so far though

Good call.
