Basically anything you get is going to trump the Klipsch with great ease. I had a Klipsch Synergy 10" subwoofer. It sounded alright, but not great. I have also had an HSU STF-2, while I did not do a side by side comparison I noted the HSU went deeper, when louder, and was way cleaner sounding than the Klipsch. The HSU was also higher build quality.

SVS and HSU are probably the best known of the Internet direct subwoofer manufacturers. Another good ID company to look at for subwoofers would be AV123 and Axiom, each company has a wide variety of subwoofers to choose from.

And for the Big Box stores, Velodyne is the supremo of subwoofers. They have one of the largest variety of subwoofers of any manufacturer with a huge range. They have little $200 subs, multi-thousand dollar subs, and everything in between.

Make no mistake, there are 10" subs that can kick some serious tail out there. But for someone on a budget a 12" or 15" will be the best bang for buck.

Now you just need to figure out where in the room to place it to get maximum performance.

 

[cheapskete OCer]

Oh yes i will be asking several more questions on that when i get it, as you can see in a post above there is a link to pictures of my setup ...my acoustics suck

Congrats on your purchase, I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on this sub. I don't think anyone else on the forums have purchaed an Epik sub, or if they have, I haven't read any reviews.

Thanks ill get pics up and my thoughts this weekend, i received it this morning,
I can tell you that i broke the speaker grill getting it off, it was on there extremely tight (probably a good thing) but i had to use a thin metal object (ruler) to pry it off, Im sure they will send me a replacement but we will see about that on monday.
