10” Precision Power Subwoofers

Good stereo system for my car?

Ok, so I have a 2005 Camry with the stock stereo and all. I would like a better sounding system, mainly the sub woofers, because i like rap. I need to know the perfect size so that my stereo doesn’t blow out, or that it doesn’t rattle too much. My friend has the same car and a 10″ in a tube and it sounds pretty nice, but i would like to know what size would sound the best, and if possible, any specific subs. And i have about $200 to spend.

I wouldn’t hook up a sub to a stereo alone. You need an amp and subs or you could just get a girlly bazooka. If you don’t want it too loud then turn it down (duh). When you have a system that won’t be too loud the size doesn’t matter. Here is a list for some subs I would get kicker or pioneer for quality.

For audio/ PA system junkies only?

Would two Gemini RS-410 10-Inch Bi-Amp Active Loudspeakers coupled with an Onkyo SKW204 Bass Reflex Powered Subwoofer be a good system for a very large room? If so, how do i go about coupling them together? Mostly going to be used for music.

Simply put the Onkyo SKW204 subwoofer will not be as loud as the Gemini RS-410 loudspeakers. There will be some low bass but it won’t be as noticeable to the listener*.

I would for go the Onkyo subwoofer entirely, and there really isn’t that much low bass in [most] music. If you’re going to be playing bass heavy dance music or, say, Hip-Hop you can still get away with it without a subwoofer (I have dj’ed using similar active monitors, 10” Mackies, and no one seemed to notice).

If you must couple the two together you would have to use RCA patch cables and a “Y” adapter to “split” the sources output between the Mains and the subwoofer. The sub will filter out the highs and the Mains will run full range. Also set the subs crossover as low as possible and slowly increase the frequency till it sounds best to you. Also increase the gain on the sub and lower the gain on the Mains to best blend the sound. This kinda defeats the purpose of using High Efficiency PA speakers since they won’t play as loud as they could. Also the sub will be unduly taxed running with the gain set high.

If you really want the low bass I would suggest getting a larger powered loudspeaker, with say a 12″ or 15″ bass driver (they don’t go much deeper but will have more “impact” ).

*it takes twice the wattage to increase the sound pressure level (SPL) 3 dB.
say the Gemini are 95 dB and the Onkyo is, say, 89 dB… then to get the same precieved volume the Onkyo would need 520 watts of power (based on the 130 watts the Gemini’s 10″ gets). The Onkyo has 230 watts max, half of what would be required to blend with the Gemini’s. Of note; the High Frequency Horn in the Gemini is more efficient than the woofer (generally the case in pro drivers) which is why it is only feed 30 watts of power).

Also the “home” subwoofer won’t last the punishment it WILL receive.

I have replaced my old preamplifier and been using DENON?

I have been using Denon amlifier as the preamp and that has replaced my old Gernan T+A preamp, which is times more expensive then the Denon.
1.
a.Can i use the Denon as the preamp as it is a regular amlifier (comprises both the preamp and amp)? I have connected the Denon preamp from its RCA output to the T+A amp?
b.Should I use Denon as the preamp, as the volume can’t be adjusted?

Lets start with models numbers. You should be able to use the Denon as the volume control unless you are using a fixed output RCA. MORE DETAIL.
