sub woofer & JBL control 1s.
i have been lucky enuff to inherit a big old subwoofer to compliment my (rather bass-lite) JBL control 1s. thing is, without stating the obvious, it's really fucking loud. the reason i wanted it was cos when i check my mixes away from my studio, i often have probs with the low end - the kick sounds massive, the b-line is threatening the speakers etc. i have put this down to the lack of serious low end on the JBLs and, to a certain extent have started to account for it when mixing... but anyway, i figured that a sub would give me a better idea of whats going on down there - but like i say, s'really loud, and i was wondering, how you would decide what would be a suitable volume for the sub relative to the volume of the JBLs...? cos like, i could probably drown the JBLs out with the woofer if i wished, but this would rather defeat the object... er, odd question really, cos i can't really see how you'd answer without coming round to my yard, listening and adjusting the volume of the sub... but if anyone has any ideas on the subject, i'd be very grateful....
