Is this sub in the same class as the SVS?

Is this sub: http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/lfmEX.html
anywhere close to this SVS sub? Or does the SVS blow it out of the water?

Those are probably "roughly" equivalent subs. Either one will be a good choice. I don't think the SVS will blow it out of the water. I've read good things about the Outlaw. I think it's made by HSU for them.

I have owned both the SVS PB12-NSD and a Hsu VTF-3 MK III. The LFM-1 EX is very close to the Hsu VTF-3 MK III in terms of performance. Currently, I am using (2) LFM-1 Pluses and am quite happy. Keep in mind, that the LFM-1 EX is a down-firing sub with down-firing ports whereas the PB12-NSD is a front-firing sub with rear-firing ports.

The design of the EX allows for easier placement when things are confined. Many owners have said it also kinda helps stay child-proof as well. If I had to choose between the VTF 3.3 and the PB12-NSD I would have to opt for the 3.3. However, the PB12-NSD has been improved upon since I owned mine. You would be hard pressed to go wrong with either one imho. So, to answer your question-YES the EX is easily in the class or caliber of the PB12-NSD. Hope this helps and Happy New Year to you.

Cheers,
