Hello and thanks in advance all for your input. I've read several threads here, most recently the best sub for $500.00. I am wanting a sweet sub, not wanting to spend more than I have to, as I think I'd like to get an A/V receiver as well. I'd like to keep sub under $1200.00. Hopefully my room and current and previous stereo experiences show up in my signature below. I like the idea of having 2 subs. However, I am wanting to use it/them outside as well, so one may be easier to move than 2. I've read so much positive here about SVS subs, I was thinking about their pc12+, as a much more experienced poster here noted that their cylinder sub was handy to move outside for backyard movies. They said it had a bit of a lip to grab onto and that they then laid it down on its side outside. I've looked, but I've been unable to find db specs on the pc 12+. Would 1 give a better true sub experience outside than say 2 BIC PL-200's? Two BICs would save me a good bit of $. I also see a used SVS PB 13 Ultra, circa 2009, with the 750 BASH amp, appears to be within my price range. It would be heavier to move, but on another thread, someone said it is better get a better sub than getting one that you'll want to be upgrading shortly. It appears any of the above would work fine inside for me. How about for backyard music and movies? I'd like one that plays music, not rap, but reggae and similar music well. I'd thought about a PA type Behringer sub for outside for impact, but it doesn't appear to dig as deep and I'd possibly be disappointed with it inside, cuts off at 35 Hz. It doesn't seem like the type that is reviewed here. To sum up, I'm looking for the sub(s) that provide best experience for backyard music and movies that won't sound like a one note car stereo boom-boomer inside. Extra points for ease of movement. Thanks again all!
P.S. Is it adviseable to try out a used sub with no access to a receiver or main speakers with a mp-3 player/Ipod? Better than nothing?
