Re: What sub should I get?




Hey Lisa,


Definitely read Bob McCarthy's Sound Systems: Design and Optimization.  With a basic physics understanding and a background in audio, that book is pretty much a bible.  It may take a little bit of re-reading and asking some questions over here, but it provides a look into the physics of sound, acoustics, and what it takes to design and integrate a loudspeaker system.


As far as owning gear goes- think about it a lot before you accumulate any debt with it.  Don't invest more than you're sure you can get a return on in a short amount of time.  I've considered owning my own gear- but outside of a decent mic collection, I don't own much more than some speakers on sticks, an 01v96, and cabling/support to make it go together.  Generally working for clubs or regional production companies, I rarely use my own gear.  When I need something more than I can provide for on my own, I reach out to those who can adequately support the client's needs.
