Just being overseas I would go for the Arendal for the I assume local support and Euro warranty. That and IMO the PSA subs are compromised in a few ways. Reactions: ypaul123

I had an SVS SB3000, didn't really like it, plus both of them are within my budget range.

I'm searching for the punch in the gut feeling in movies, and subtle sweet bass in music.

Click to expand... Many subs can do that, but more about spl for the gut feel and more about upper bass range of a sub for that. A lot has to do with your room/placement to begin with more than the sub itself...

Gut punch takes pretty high spl. He mentioned earlier though that he also wants more Deep bass output. IMO his room is pretty big and a single sb13 won’t do it. He needs at least one big ported sub. IMO.

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,872 0 113 Oakridge, OR Feb 27, 2024 #14 What's the price for each? Warranty? Have you obtained third party tests for each?

PSA doesn't tend to post tests as far as I know.. the PSA sub costs a little less than the 2v. warranty is standard warranty.

There’s a nice review right here! Man. There are so many good choices out there. Is diy an option?

G Golfx Senior Audioholic Nov 28, 2020 643 0 16 79 Suffolk, VA Feb 27, 2024 #20 Arendal submits their subwoofers to third party reviewers and the results and CEA-2010 numbers have been favorable. The owner of PSA does not support having his subs receiving third party reviews which would yield CEA-2010 numbers. I always wonder why? If they would test well why would he avoid this?
