Correction:

I do most of my listening at - 80 Db - , and my current little sub can
produce
80 Db easily done to 30 Hz. Is there any point upgrading?

Hi folks,

I have a Velodyne F1000 subwoofer that I have had for around 9 years. It
is
a 10" 80 watt servo model.

I was setting it up in a new, larger room today. I spent the better half
of
an afternoon configuring the sub with a Radio Shack SPL meter and test
tones. I was able to find the spot where it was flat as it was going to
get
(within +- 2 db) from 30 Hz to 100 Hz . The spot was directly behind my
listening postion. When the sub was in the corner, there was a nasty 12
db
room mode at 40-50 Hz that was activated.

This room is about 3600 cubic feet large. The common knowledge is that
larger rooms require a larger driver and more amperage. Would upgrading
to
a sub with more power and a 12" or 15" driver offer any advantage? I know
that I would be able to get more SPL out of it. Would there be any other
audible difference with a larger driver if the subs are putting out the
same
SPL at the same frequency?

I do most of my listening at 80 Hz, and my current little sub can produce
that easily done to 30 Hz. Is there any point upgrading?

Thanks,
Greg
