A: AnswerHello and thank you for your question. Depending on room size, 2 subwoofers are preferred as it will help with overall Bass performance. Ultimately two DN10 subwoofers will provide the best overall balance, a DT SuperCube 4000 with its 8" driver punch and the DT DN10's 10" should blend nicely.Answered by Definitivetech Team
- A: AnswerHello. To reduce the amount of bass information being reproduced by your BP9060s, you can use the sub-woofer output dial on the rear panel of your speakers. If you have an AVR, it's quite possible it has settings which allow you to do something similar for your bass information. You could also make adjustments to the crossover with the AVR - if you have a model which offers this convenience.

- A: AnswerHello! Yes, the listed system definitely has the potential to provide you with high-quality cinema sound. The DN10 subwoofer is a great performer and punches well above its weight. To complete the system, I would recommend adding one of our center channel speakers. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our support team at 800-228-7148.

Buy 2, you will thank me later
Definitive Technology continues to redefine the correlation between size and sound produced by subs. I purchased the DN10 to upgrade a Supercube2000. Like the SC2000, the DN10s punch well above their weight class! Definitive is accurate when stating the 10” sub plays more like a 12” sub. Since this was purchased for my living room the 10” model was the perfect size but I am very curious to hear what the DN15 sounds like. As you can see from my MultEQ-X measurements, this sub does play below 30Hz but if you want to go deeper you will have to upgrade to the 12” or 15” model. Regardless of which size you choose, I highly recommend buying at least 2. I started with one, but the bass did not sound balanced in the room despite running the BP8020s which have subs onboard. Once I added the second DN10 the bass was smooth and balanced. To round out the system I matched up the DN10s to the DM70s to maintain 10” subs throughout the build. This combination created the highest level of balance within my listening space. Room correction is definitely needed to really make this sub shine but when it is dialed in you will have an amazing system.

Underrated Specs. Tons of headroom.
I didn’t have high expectations for the DN10 as the specs suggested it was a downgrade from our old ProSub 1000. However, the DN10 has exceeded my expectations. I can’t believe the performance of this subwoofer. It’s rated at 30hz when it has significant loudness at 25hz, literally rumbling our couches. At 25hz, it plays over 10db louder than the ProSub 1000. It’s incredible and very well built. Was so impressed that I went and purchased another to complete the pair. Great design.

Def Tech DN10 sub
Product was shipped to me and it came with a big hole in the box. Not sure if speaker is damaged. But I have Def Tech Prosub 1000 and it sounds amazing, so the DN10 should be even better.
