- What sub did you use and how much did it cost?
- What would you do differently if you could?
- What did you NOT like about the setup?
- How big was your room?
- Where did you place the sub relative to your listening position?
- How big was your sub (8", etc.) and how did it fire?
- Did you have two or just one?
Thanx guys.

1. The room placement and layout of your room is huge for this one. (for a larger room)When I found a decent spot: yes, it integrated well. In my dorm room, however, front facing 2-3 inches from the wall on any wall/corner works great.
2. RCA input
3. Mirage Omni S8 = ~$200
4. Money has just became tight, I would have gotten a better sub if I could
5. The fact that my setup begs for a reciever(something I refuse to buy), I'm not comfortable using a Y adapter to power K1000s + 1 Speaker + 1 Sub. Currently I'm running the sub and speaker from my ipod and starting each song the same time as my main rig.
Other thing is, the K1000s act like a noise canceller against the subwoofer. You have to blast the sub somewhat high to actually hear enough of a difference.
6. Dorm room, small
7. 2-3 feet away in front of me. I'm facing back of sub.
8. 8'' sub, fired well... but again, the K1000s drown out the bass, If I had the funds I would really consider a high end 12'' sub. The sub starts to distort when I pump up the sub volume to my liking.
9. 1 sub
