[William Lemmerhirt]

He's in India and the extra SVS customer service stuff isn't gonna happen.

no not easily returnable.dayton i will try.are there anybother good subwoofers in the polk HTS12 range considering indian prices mentioned above that i can go for?

Dayton 1500 and 1200 are great budget subwoofers to start with. What else in a lower price can you get there? Maybe give us five or more available to you in India?

Is Dayton available in India? I tend to think not.

But with BIC PL200 II heard some port noise being raised here at audioholics..some build issues.

Out of the subwoofers you posted I would definitely Kick The Definitive Technology that's off the list. The Q Acoustics I'm unfamiliar with but really never heard anybody rave about them. KEF again never hear anyone talk about them. Definitely never heard anybody talk about a Focal sub even though their speakers are quite nice. I think if it was me I'd be taking a closer look at that BIC America sub seems like it could be a performer and I have heard good things about their subwoofers

I’m thinking that happened because he ran it hot. Meaning too much volume. I’d get one to try and add a second if needed. Your room size might accommodate just one. Bic F12 is another good option.

ok so the guy here says that the F12 doesnt have that issue becaus eit doesnt have a port at the first place for that.But isnt a ported one better?I was also swaying towards the BIC had it not been for these issues i came across.

Also even in those amazon threads one guy again blame their quality issues.I guess its there across BIC models

Are you buying or can you get them from amazon? I had one PB1000 and for 10 inch in a small to medium size room it rocked.

Then if your worried about all these issues, sound quality, worried about performance, you worry about everything then get the SVS, save for it. Wait for it. Do whatever you got to do to get it and you eliminate all the issues that you worried about

Nothing worse than spending $300, $400, $500 and find out that you wasted your money I'd rather save and spend more money and get a sure thing then waste money

yes if i buy this i will go to local dealers. I think they will be better for any issues.

LOL.Yes.Thing is the dealers are around 4 hrs from my place and if anything happens i need to shuttle multiple times to get it resolved.Want to just avoid the hassle

Go for it you won’t be sorry. Check warranty should be five year if I remember correctly. Also contact SVS for any questions they are great with fast email response. I hope to get another PB1000 or 2000 in the future. Don’t forget to haggle with those dealers!!!!

You're over thinking it. The Polk HTS12 is by far the best sub for the money on your list. It's superior to the PB1000 in all areas but a few hz down low which depending on the size of your room and how far the sub is from the listening position won't make much difference. 90% of HT content and nearly 100% of music content lies above 30hz.
