Sub idea for the Wiim Ultra

[harkpabst]

Never heard of them, Impressive. Seems like a rel competitor for a lot less

Hint: BK Electronics was once a contract manufacturer for REL.

If you are in the UK, get the best BK you can afford

Thanks for this recommendation, their P12-300SB-FF front firing 12" sub is exactly what I've been looking for to pair with my Monitor Audio Silvers and WiiM Ultra (soon). Pricewise they look like an absolute bargain

It's a no brainer if you're in the UK mate. You'll find it's pretty much the default answer everywhere for a reason

Yes indeed, great prices and the cabinets come in different colours too so I can match with my Silvers in Light Oak.

And make no mistake, those cabinets are heavy! At least for the XXLS models I can talk from experience.

You can often get good deals on their eBay store.

I have an XLS200-DF. Great sub.

I was setting up my WiiM Ultra last night, using test tones for some things, and even though it’s not really supposed to go down to 20Hz, it was still rumbling away down there, albeit at a slightly lower volume than 40Hz.

REL TZero x 2. Look for them on the used market to save a few hundred $. Don’t let the small size fool you.

Good to hear Steve. Is the placement of the sub critical? I can only place mine to the right side of my right speaker, any phase problems I might encounter?

The placement of a sub is always critical - mine needs more work. Or at least some work.

Lots of trial and error I guess - more error in my case
