Not sure since I have not heard a dual driver design

Low Frequency with SPL

Currently looking at cylinders

Built in

8. Would you rather have an Auto Room EQ system with a measuring microphone or manual parametric controls allow you to set the EQ yourself?

12" or larger

2. Do you prefer single our dual driver design, either active of with passive radiators?
single passive

3. Do you like the sound of front firing or floor firing designs?
front firing

4. In choosing between SPL or low frequency extension, which is attribute more important to you?
low frequency extension

5. Do you prefer super compact (high pressure) subwoofers or are conventional (larger) designs more desirable?
conventional (larger)

6. Do you place your sub in a corner of the room or somewhere away from the wall?
Along wall, near, but not in, the corner

7. Would you rather have a sub with a built in amplifier or a dedicated stand alone amplifier?
dedicated stand alone would be better, although I have not seen one


8. Would you rather have an Auto Room EQ system with a measuring microphone or manual parametric controls allow you to set the EQ yourself?
I would rather do this manually, but would choose automatic measurement controls if the measured more accurately than I can manually with a radioshack SPL meter and test tone CD

9. What price range do you feel is the most desirable for a high performance subwoofer system (be realistic! )
Hsu and SVS have some amazing subs in the $500-$1000. So for me to go elsewhere, I need a sub that is in a different class performance-wise around $1500, or a comparable sub in the "sub" $500 range.

10. What color and finish is the most desirable to you? If you had the choice of two finishes, what would they be?
Black or real wood veneer cherry
