Help Rythmic FVX12 or HSU VTF-2 MK5 or SVS PB3000

[Pillo1969]

Good afternoon guys, hope you are all having a great weekend so far.

I want to see if you can please give me your expertise advise in which 12 inch sub I should get. It will only be for home theater no music. They will be in my front stage.

I know I am not going to feel that much rumble from 18hz down with a 12 inch, but I am looking to see which of these 3 subs (Rythmic FVX12 or HSU VTF-2 MK5 or SVS PB3000) will be the best response from the 14 or 16 hz all the way up. I know these will produce more bass at certain frequencies compared to the others, but I am looking for the all around best in the frequencies.

I do not care too much about the svs app.

Patiently awaiting your advise

Fernando

Why just 12 inch drivers?

The HSU VTF2 mk5 has been reviewed here.

We reviewed Hsu Research's newest VTF subwoofer, The VTF-2 mk5. It sports a front-firing 12” driver, a 350 watt BASH amplifier, and 3.9 cf enclosure. It's one of the best performers in its category.

The PB-3000 is the highest-performing sub in that group, but it is the most expensive. None of those subs will be superstars from 14 to 16Hz though. That is below their port tuning. There isn't really a 12" ported sub that can do such deep frequencies well. Unless you have a very healthy budget and a lot of space, there is no sense in chasing big 14Hz output.
