Diki, I wouldn't expect you to take any recommendation from ME, or anyone else for that matter. And, I can almost guarantee that you play much louder than I do - but that has no bearing on what I hear in the overall sound spectrum. When I was using a 10-inch, long throw sub there were times when I considered it overwhelming and lowered the sub volume in order to achieve a more balanced sound. Works for me, and obviously, lots of other performers on this forum.
