Pet friendly Subs

[pewternhrata]

Any recommendations for down firing or pet friendly subs? I miss my dual RSL speedwoofers but they would be destroyed The klipsch 8" are actually impressive but lack Any bit of real punch in movies. I had an svs with a metal grill but I wasnt impressed at all with it. I thought HSU at one point had something but they all appear to be front firing with cloth grills. I'd like to keep a 2 sub setup and budget around 1k give or take

Some of the older SVS subs had metal grilles that a pet would not be able to get through. Also, some of the older MartlinLogan Dynamo subs supported a down-firing configuration.

You can fit a metal grill to any sub you want.

This is just an incredibly easy problem to solve.

I absolutely don't want to hear you can't use an electric drill and a screwdriver!

build an enclosure that looks like furniture around it that is fully open, but metal screened?

To marks point, this is another option. It’s also literally the same grill svs used on the older PC models.

Looks a little more elegant too. Svs obviously used it on the port end so I don’t know that it would affected performance if placed over the driver.
