Ok after making a post about the best subwoofer under $1K these are the options I came up with. Setting aside the DIY option which I am considering these are my options.

ED – A7-350 (ported) $1050 delivered

ED – A7s-450 (sealed) $950 Delivered
Q’ed and 1300 Watts with all upgrades

Epik – Tower $999.00 plus delivery (LONG WAIT)

Epik – Castle $1099.00 plus Delivery (LONG WAIT)

MFW-15 – Duals $$$???

Rythmik – F150 899.00 plus delivery

Rythmik – D15SE $999.00 plus delivery

SVS PC12 Plus $949.00 plus delivery

In this group there are pluses and minus of going with each. I have waivered back and fourth on every model and not determined a clear winner. Setting aside the DIY option can people who have heard these subs give me any comparison? I have a 3,600 cu room, large I know. Therefore given my size I am leaning toward the ED- A7s-350 Eq’d version and this is why. It’s smaller that the 350 ported and sealed. I feel that the sealed box may give me a better combination of hard hitting tight bass with sufficient output. I understand that the Rythmik has great sound quality but I am concerned my room is too big. The Epik’s are great but they have no idea when they will be available. I can wait until March or April but when I talked to them they could not give any time frame. MFW-15, really not sure I want duals, WAF. I still like the SVS. It’s the first one I looked at and I think its still am option. Can some convince me one way or another. Please!!!!

SVSound PC-12 Plus

its the smalles of the group - I like this one too
 
I just purchased the SVS PC12-NSD (325 watt amp) and am extremely pleased with it. I too have a large room (14' x 28') which is also open to the kitchen as well as an open foyer to the second floor. This sub has NO PROBLEM whatsoever filling the area with deep, powerful bass. I use it primarily for home theater and would highly recommend SVS. Awesome subwoofer for the price if you're like me and don't want to build-it-yourself.
 
I don't know if you would entertain the DIY route, but if you do the Infinity Kappa build plans that are listed in the DIY corner would be a great way to go. You should be able to build duals for around 1k and you should be able to destroy anything on your current list with two of them.
