June 11, 201511 yr Kinda want to get one. Anywhere I should look besides SVS? Those sealed units seem pretty enticing.
June 11, 201511 yr If you can DIY I suggest a MiniDSP IcePower plate amp with a 18" SI sub. Best bang for the buck IMHO
June 11, 201511 yr For the money, I have not found anything that is a better product than SVS. Mine is about 10 years old and still kicks ass.
June 11, 201511 yr I really liked the sub that Pappy 'Sorbine is using with his Moths. I forget what it was. Hsu, but can't recall which. And agree based on Beer Bryan's Lowther system. Sounds great! Edited June 11, 201511 yr by jvlgato
June 11, 201511 yr Heard a lot of good things about these guys. http://www.rythmikaudio.com/products1.html Can't really fault SVS though -- I have two of their cylinder subs (which I foolishly thought would be less conspicuous than the boxes, and then they turned out to be the size of fucking oil drums) and objectively way too much bass. Which is kinda fun.
June 11, 201511 yr Hsu, but can't recall which. And agree based on Beer Bryan's Lowther system. Sounds great! HSU Research STF-2. Bryan and I are quite happy.
June 11, 201511 yr Boy, I saw this and thought it was a Tice joke ... Shhh. Colin doesn't realize he is a sub. I told him this suit is the height of fashion.

June 12, 201511 yr Tim was going to get me an SVS SB-2000 for Christmas. I've thought about buying one for myself but it might make me sad.
June 12, 201511 yr I have two REL subs in different setups and I like their quickness and good integration.
June 13, 201511 yr Did a sub-off at the office. My SVS SB-2000 (699€) vs Dynaudio BM9S II (990€) which my boss bought together with his BM5 monitors. Long story short, the BM9S is going back to Thomann.de. Tim was going to get me an SVS SB-2000 for Christmas. I've thought about buying one for myself but it might make me sad. I have a hard time imagining this thing making anyone sad.
June 13, 201511 yr ^ not cool man. Reminders of the people you've lost are at minimum bittersweet. Edited June 13, 201511 yr by Dreadhead
June 13, 201511 yr Aww shoot, wasn't aware that I was stepping on some sensitive stuff. Sorry about that! Besides SVS, Rel, Hsu and BK Electronics have pretty nice subs for the money.
June 13, 201511 yr Naaman: I like those plate amps, but I have a tapped horn and not sure if they would interfere with operation, so I would consider a bussel or completely separate enclosure. Ever seen a separate enclosure?

Ever seen a separate enclosure? Don't think it would be a problem, simple box for mounting the amp with wires to your sub. The amp isn't sealed, so if built into a sub it needs to be in it's own sealed enclosure anyway.
June 13, 201511 yr I think it's better to just get the connectors on either end of a box. I suppose it's easy to buy the components separately and find a nice Hammond case to use. I think this is a nice project for a rainy day. Any experience controlling these via a digital output and then routing signal to the other full range speakers via an analogue output? I would have to do something like this as well. Hm. Gets one thinking.
