[QUOTE="David Morison, post: 215186, member: 2076"] Here's the thing, you haven't told us much about this space or what you will use it for, so right now you know more about the answer to that question than we do. (That being said, PRX subs [I]are[/I] JBL subs, so the highlighted question doesn't even make grammatical sense, sorry.) So, to try and help, what kind of "studio"? Dance? Rehearsal? Commercial Recording? Video/Film Post Production? Who will be the primary users? You? Paying clients? Someone else? What are you actually missing when you listen to the 835s in the room? Have you utilised the onboard EQ's etc to try and see if they can give you what you need without extra subs? What you actually need (rather than want) may well be quite different based on these kind of things. Also, don't get your hopes up that a nominally cardioid product will do much good wrt family & neighbours etc. This is because, in small spaces, the distribution of low frequency sound has a lot more to do with the room modes than the sub itsself - even the sound coming out the front of a cardioid sub will hit other walls of the room and bounce around, which may largely negate the cardioid effect anyway. That sound may also leak out of the room quite a lot, depending on it's construction. Effective soundproofing at low frequencies is not trivial unfortunately. HTH, David. [/QUOTE]
