Which among the 2 did Rythmik say gives the correct response?Not sure if they are from the same batch but rythmik support confirmed based on the measurements this isn’t normal and suggested the amp be replaced.

Hahah the 2nd sub I purchased after a month. The first sub I purchased has the variations. These variations won’t matter much in a single set up. I am having issues with aligning them in a dual set up.Which among the 2 did Rythmik say gives the correct response?![]()
I have used an osd 12 inch subwoofer which comes with one active driver on the front and dual opposed 12 inch passive drivers on the sides. Both the passive drivers have decent amount of excursions. So the logic behind is to control the cabinet vibrations that leads to distortion. Now my understanding from this is if you have dual opposing active drivers the same theory is going to be applied with higher SPL then a single driver.I was trying to find the right thread to ask this question. Hope someone with experience with two subs can help shed some light…
I understand two subs can help smooth in-room bass responses and help with smoother integration better than one subwoofer.
I recently got a KEF KC62. This has two drivers on opposite sides.
I am trying to figure out what is going on with these. It sounds pretty good to me on most recordings. On a few there is a hint of booming. I have them placed in the centre between the two speakers pulled 2” away from the wall.
Given the understanding of two subs being better than one, how would this play out with the KC62?
Any thoughts, suggestions, guidance would be welcome.
Thanks. Yes, the KEF KC62 has dual drivers powered with two separate amps (500w each) The body is quite inert and heavy. I have this placed so the drivers each face to the sides. Would the same principles of having two separate single driver subs apply?I have used an osd 12 inch subwoofer which comes with one active driver on the front and dual opposed 12 inch passive drivers on the sides.

well logically that’s what I also feel.But one thing to note is having two individual subs at the same spot will cause time delay issues. So manufacturers would have done so much R&D to implement it properly. There are bigger subs with same design principle as well.Would the same principles of having two separate single driver subs apply?

No. Is this the case no matter where you place the sub woofer in the room?Is this a normal behaviour for an identical sub?
@sandeepmohan, thanks for pointing me to this review. I read it before I bought the KC62. Reading it again after having it in my setup for a while is a totally different experience! I can empathise with what the author is saying about this sub and how it sounds. It’s a very good sub and quite easy to integrate with my stand mounts.You might to read the Authors experience (Setting up) of using a KC62 here
It must be the driver. Even rythmik first thought it was the amp and had it replaced but still there was no change with spl and frequency response.No. Is this the case no matter where you place the sub woofer in the room?
Glad you go the amp and sub replaced. I am curious as to what failed or happened to one of them. If the amp did not fail, you tend to point to the driver and that is rare.
