best for moive under 800

[petty77]

What is the best sub for under 800 for movies I watch 75% moives and 25% music.

I have a pioneer elite sc27, fronts definitive 7002 and center 2500.

thanks

How big is the room? Total cubic footage including any rooms or hallways that are open to it.

If I were you, I'd be choosing from three options (depends of room size)
eD a5-350

HSU VTF-3 MK3
http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/vtf-3-mk3.html

or Epik Emprire

Epic's shipping ($139) will put you over your budget, but its great option.

HSU's $100 shipping grouped with Walnut finish (on Sale) will be $760 and eD does free shipping. Trust me - you'd love any of them.

Unless you have skills, tools, time and will do go DIY route, but it's a whole different topic....

If you can dig up a couple of hundred more,look into the pc12plus.
I just purchased one and in one short week the wife hates me,the dog runs for cover and the house has moved four inches due east.

SVS PB-12NSD or VTF-3 MkIII would probably be my choice, or wait for the new Epik Legend.

The Epik Empire has my vote

VTF-3 MKIII most assuredly does not suck.

As mentioned, it isn't $800 with shipping So if shipping wasn't included in the OPs price, then that's what I'd go with as well.

Have you considered buying a used sub? You probably could find a SVS PC PLUS 25-31 12" sub for around $550 before shipping, I think I might even know someone with one send me a message.
