In search of subwoofer

[Ryan Laposky]

Looking for a sub for my system that I am trying to build. This is my first theater/media room. Interested in Rhythmik, HSU or SVS. Would be interested in one sub but would like to get two subs. Need something to fill a smaller room (9.5 x 12 x 7 ft ceiling). Would like something that has been well cared for and in excellent working condition. I do need to stay relatively budget friendly. Thanks!

Hi Ryan. The only mention of budget is that you want to remain friendly to it lol. What did you have in mind? That’s a small room so it shouldn’t be really hard to find a good one, or two.

Maybe $500 or less. If I could get two that would be great but understand I may only be able to get one for this price. Thanks!

Better to get two than one. I have yet to hear the Rythmik, but I can say first hand the SVS Ultra series are amazing subs. My brother has two SB 16 Ultras in his theater and it rocks the foundation! That said, I would get a PB 1000 and add a second one later if you think you need two, but I don’t think you will.

I've heard the SB 16 are nice but way outside my budget. Wish I could get two of those

I edited my post after seeing your budget...

I thought about pb1000 or would pb12 nsd. Any others to think about? HSU or Rhythmik? Would be interested in used if anyone is looking to sell.

For the money, I'd grab those two Hsu's you asked about earlier in another thread. That's one hell of a deal for some great subs!

Ya, would be interested in those but haven't heard anything back yet. Wish I could get ahold of the guy.

I just posted this link to someone earlier in the 500 dollar range. It’s actually 519 right now but it’s a great deal.

Here a link to the pb1000, but it I think the HSU is a much better value.

Ya, I agree. HSU is the better value.

You only posted a few hours ago, give him some time.

Barring that, for options in new subs what William posted is quite good. If you want to be more budget conscious, you could look at the RSL Speedwoofer or the Emotiva Basx line

It is larger, and might limit placement options but I would still go with the HSU and deal with placement later.

Or go the DIY route....

Good thought! I'll squeeze it in even if it's larger.

Does emotiva make some good subs? Not super familiar with them.

 

[William Lemmerhirt]

As NINaudio mentioned, the speedwoofer is great but it’s 800. In that range I would probably look at a pc2k and save floor space with more performance.

You mean for duals?

$800 for 2 speed woofers correct. Looks like they have good reviews too.

They're only $400!
