Twice as powerful, twice the output...it doesn't matter because it can't be proven. I will agree that it is highly unlikely for dual Jamo Sub300's to achieve decent output below 20 Hz and far more likely that the A2-300 would distance...

I've seen subs described as musical, some as good for HT, but now we have a new category, the bedroom sub? Gimme a break.

You've tested this sub then?

There is a whitepaper on Jamo,s support page about this sub which includes some graphs. It appears this sub gets a little over 100dB spl going by the graph measurements. This does not sound too bad to me for a sub at this price.

I would highly recommend dual Sub300's if you want to maintain headroom and low distortion within that frequency range at high levels. However, they can dig deeper and with enough room gain can hit down to 20 Hz. Of course, simply hitting 20 Hz and hitting 20 Hz with sufficient air moving...

ken15 - did you calibrate the sub with your system using a spl meter? If you tuned by ear, your bass could be way off and not tuned properly with the mains. Bill

I am amazed by the comments in this forum on the Sub 300 pricepoint and the debate about going down to 20Hz or not, graphs, measurements, and the like. I recently bought this sub on the Vanns deal. I have it in a 5.1 setup with trusty Boston CR9s for front and back (yes, they do still exist, the CR9s, and I have 2 pairs in excellent, near pristine condition), and a Boston Center matched to the 9s. My simple advice to anyone - listen to it. It...
