hey guys I am very new with all this , I have dome some searching but without any real luck , but a lot of people and things that are debated. I am looking for a sub for my room I am looking for something for gaming and for action movies, I am running the rx-v661 and my room is about 20x10, Would I be better off going with to smaller subs one in front one in back or a bigger single sub. I dont wanna break the bank with this thanks for ne help

I would recomend you go with one bigger sub from SVS, HSU or AV123. Most of the time smaller subs don't go as far down in bass than the larger ones. SVS has the PB-10 10" sub for about $429 which goes down to about 20 Hz. For $599 you can get an av123 MFW15 which is a 15' woofer that goes down deep but you may have to get on a waiting list for a couple of months. Really you can not go wrong with any of the companies I mentioned.

ok so I would be a lot better off with one sub than to moderate ones I was looking at the av123 x-sub and looking at a couple from klipsch

HSU Research, SVS, AV123, all should have subs that will meet your needs. As mentioned, you may need to wait for the MFW-15 though. I agree with going with one larger sub.

ok sweet which kind of sub would get the more feel bass in the room the one with the out fire or down fire , I do have hardwood floors if that matters

 

[j_garcia]

Front or down can make a small difference with higher frequencies, but the lowest ones, the ones you feel, it doesn't make as much of a difference IMO.

 

[Jacket4256]

so would I not get more feel out of two subs ??? I am kinda lost some say you get more feel out of two if they are quaitly subs, I am in the price range of 600 max I looked at this http://www.aperionaudio.com/product/Bravus-8D-Dual-8-Powered-Subwoofer,104,66,241.aspx looks very promising but I dont know if I can wait lol, please put your input on these as well as some models and some links thanks a lot

ok sweet what am I looking like spec wise for a good sub that hits hard and in a 20x10 room yet I use half for movies games half for home office

 

[Jacket4256]

would this be something that is good 24-120Hz +/-3dB I really dont understand much so I am back to reading but j\w if I am heading in the right direction

 

[Jacket4256]

is this a no brainer here ???????

I am tryin to compare the klipsch synergy sub-12 or the hsu VTF-2 MK 3 Subwoofer , I want something that will have some good shake to it and will also be able to feel the bass

A low frequency response to 24 Hz is fair since it will cover most music except pipe organs. For pipe organs you need to go down to 20 Hz. For wall shaking special effects in movies look for something that goes lower than 20 Hz as far as affordable and practical.

Don't buy the Klipsch.

Incidentally, you want something that "hits" hard, which I am guessing meaning the "punch" you get from certain tracks. Most of that audio comes from the 50-60 Hz range, but those subs that extend flat down to 20 Hz, will certainly fill the room up with more rumble and thunder. That's the stuff that makes your house shake.

 

[Jacket4256]

yea I want the good bass you know when crap blows up I am not gonna listen to music with the HT at all just wanna have good surrond sound for movies and video games

Roughly 650 bones will get you this (including shipping costs):

It's what I have, and I will swear by it. People will always tend to recommend subs/speakers/equipment based on what they own, so take this as you will. But I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this beast. It's huge though, beware - see the My System Pics link below to see how large it is in comparison to other things in my room. And it will blow that Klipsch so far out of the water it's not even funny.

And of course, it's a matter purley up to opinion, but it seems like the Hsu's favor a little more towards the music crowd, while the SVS line is better suited for Home Theater.

Happy shopping.

^^^ its not happy lol PITA cant decide on what I want I am stuck n between the

svs pb12nsd 700 shipped or the hsu research vtf-2 mk-3 for about 550 shipped the price is a big difference and I am wondering how much of a difference I would see for my room with the two??
