Help deciding on subwoofer for home theatre room

[vader540is]

I called SVS and spoke to somebody in the tech dept. He saw the pictures of the space and gave him the square footage. He is recommending dual PB-3000 based on the space. Not saying I am not going with PB-3000 but would like similar power recommendations.

Power Sound Audio TV1512 or Rythmik FV15HP

Here is a sweep in my living room with no EQ, I'm waiting on my Mini-DSP-HD to help fatten my FR.

When adjusting to flatten out, you never boost, you cut.

I was originally gonna buy two subs, but when watching movies and listening to music, I'm extremely happy. Only reason I'll buy a and sub is to help flatten out my FR and help get rid of some nulls.

OK. I'm looking to narrow it down between these two based on recommendations from this thread. Since I have not heard any of these subs before, looking for a recommendation between the PB-3000 and the Power Sound Audio V1512 from those that have heard both. Thx.

Not the V1512 it's the newer TV1512 it has a lower port tune around 12hz. It's not on the PSA website. Email PSA

I would do the PSA V1812 over the V1512 for only $250 more

What would you "hear" exactly? Bass tones just need to be accurate with as low distortion as possible IMO. Auditions not setup well are a waste of time, too.

You wouldn't hear anything. You would get more TR.

You'd hear something, but would it be meaningful unless set up well? What is TR?

Tactile response.

Tactile response.

LOL I might have figured that out after a while....never bother abbreviating it. We pulling out our vibrameter app or do we have a clear winner on that score particularly?

The butt dyno.

You can also build a Hover Boss platform.

Be aware that all this talk about 'tactile response' is largely hearsay without any science to back it up.

Correct, however, I can still feel a difference between my PB4000 compared to my TV1812 night and day... My whole couch shakes and I can feel it in my body, it's awesome.

I have a tactile transducer under my seat and an 18" sub right behind it to help out already.....

"Tactile transducer". Is that your nickname for your bed pan?

You have a strange imagination....baked too long in Bakersfield? That's what the company who made it calls it in any case....

You must warm up as the chill of the morning burns off. I'll catch after lunch.
