In this video, I'm discussing running two flagship subwoofers from 2 different companies. I get questions about mixing subwoofers often, and now I have a pretty confident answer. Vv Click "SHOW MORE" vV
Setup and links below.
Both of these subwoofers are excellent, but I can't do an honest review for either one without a matching sub. The VTF-15 now comes with more power than the first generation sub you see in the video (350 watts vs 600 watts RMS). The PB-16 Ultra has 1500 watts RMS, so there is a bit of a power gap between the subs.
The drivers are only an inch off, but the characteristics are still different enough to be less than ideal. While this pairing does better than the 16" driver with the 12" driver, it's still not "correct", and neither sub is to blame for that.
Can you get by mixing subs? Maybe. Should you set out to do it? I'd say no. If you already have subs that are not matched but really close (same configuration, driver size, and similar power), there's probably little to no problem.
It's best to check using Room EQ Wizard to make sure. That's how I found out for sure, and Nick Brown from SVS confirmed that running different sized drivers is problematic.
If you're running 2 different driver sizes, you would probably notice improvement by running matched subs instead. Again, Room EQ Wizard could help you determine if there are any major problems. It's a free program, you just need a measurement microphone and a computer, preferably with HDMI out. I use the Umik-1: http://amzn.to/2orlwj7 (affiliate link)
**Gear and Links**
Subwoofers should reproduce quality sound with authority throughout the humanly audible bass spectrum (20-100 hertz). Most ported subwoofers do not.
