you can pick your friends
and you can pick your subwoofer
but you can't pick your friend's subwoofer

Way to contribute.

The AV123 X-sub might not have the oomph to fill that room. Out of the 2, I would go for the Cadence X-Sub. Ugh, to many X-Subs!

I agree, he should have maybe added in some suggestions to get the ball rolling, but he does have a point. The best way to find a sub that fits you (in my mind) would be to go and listen to them yourself, and make a decision.

I'd say get a Polk sub, but everyone else seems to hate them. Actually the only one I like is the 505 (out of PSW10, 12, 303, 404). I haven't heard the 1000, so I can't say if I like it or not.

The RBH MS-10.1 is a little badass. I'm a big fan myself. I own one and i've installed several. It's prety clean up the range and the crossover is tight and effective. It's dual firing so corner load that baby (not on the block side though) use some decent interconnect, and that should be enough to rattle the mortar joints loose. If your not sure, the MS-8.1 is a bit smaller but it gets the job done and you could put 2 in the room diagonally corner loaded to really give it some rumble. All my customers like them.
