I recently bought a JBL Stage A120P subwoofer. Today, I measured the output of the sub by itself, and the speakers without the sub. Both measurements were done at the same SPL level, with the sub set to medium gain.
The sub (blue line) provides some SPL at ~55Hz, but drops off quite sharply below that. My speakers without the sub are able to have some useful output around 55Hz.
Based on this I think this particular sub isn't the right fit for my system. I should look for a sub that can provide some useful output at 40Hz or below, which this sub doesn't seem to do. Would this conclusion be correct ?
