First! ...sorry, couldn't resist. But for real, adding a sub to vinyl can be awesome if done right. Just gotta be careful not to overdo it. What kind of music you spinning most?

Not crazy at all. I added a sub to my setup last year and it's been awesome. Just gotta dial it in right or it'll sound like hot garbage.

If you're set on getting a record player subwoofer, look for one specifically made for music. They tend to be tighter and more controlled than home theater subs, which is crucial for vinyl playback.

Whatever you get, test it out first if you can. What sounds good on paper might sound like ass in your room.

Guys, are we just gonna ignore that OP mentioned a decent amp?How you liking it, OP? Might be worth upgrading that before adding a sub.

Don't forget to factor in cables and maybe a power conditioner. This hobby's a slippery slope, man.

Honestly? Just try it. Grab a cheap used sub off Craigslist and see if you even like the sound. Can always upgrade later if you're into it.

Yall spending thousands on audio equipment just to listen to scratchy records... respect the dedication

Upgraded to KEF KC62 and ngl my records hitting different now. wallet empty but bass full fr 🔥

my neighbors gonna love it when i blast pink floyd with extra bass at 3am 💀

Personal growth looks different for everyone I guess. Subwoofer genuinely improved listening experience despite eye-rolling from partner
