Best subwoofer

[crmfmly]

What would be a really good brand of a subwoofer that provides clean, crystal clear, tight bass?

[Frank Z]

Budget?

I think I've got my eyes on 2 HSU VTF-3 MK 2 subs. I'm getting an Outlaw Audio 990 pre/pro and it has 2 sub outputs. Is there really any better sub for under 1,000?

you could probably find a deal for a Velodyne SPL-1000R for around $1000

svs!

If you can squeeze it.. the SVS PB12+/2 would rock.

If you don't care about looks SVS has the CS/Ultra line. They look like ugly carpeted tubes but I hear they sound awesome.

Then don't get the tubes.... Get one of the veneered boxes, they look as nice as anything.

Check out avs123.com for 2 UFW10 fo $1K. Can hang with the PB12+2 down to about 22Hz and look better for less money

What is the best sub of Polk in "price-quality" relation ??????

Nonono... the UFW10 CANNOT hang with the PB12+/2 down to 22hz. No way. The UFW10 drops like a rock under 30hz while the PB12+/2 can be tuned to go 20hz with 1 port plug and still have way more output at the 22hz mark relative to 2 UFW10.

Even the UFW12 cant hang as it starts to hit too high of a THD as Ed reviewed on the av123 forum.

Check out Craigsubs reviews on AVS and HTspot. His study is in room, calibrated reponse and two of them vs 1 PB12+2. This is much different from what Ed does. For the size and looks, it's a hell of a package if you can't hanlde the size and the extra $300 of the PB12+2.

From my ownership of the SVS and experience with Dual UFw10's, I find no fault in his statements. They do fall like a rock around 22-25 Hz though

None that I know of. :(

I'm happy with my SVS 20-39 PCi-they go for $600 direct from the factory. :)

I have a middle quality Velodyne sub and ya know what I really like it pretty well and I end up getting a SLP sub while I've never heard SVS before I have to say that my fav sub might be Velodyne

Y'all r right about Polk Audio subs. I went to my local Circuit City and listened to a PSW12. Although it was only a low level sub, it still sounded like shit. I dunno maybe a top of the line Polk Audio sub would sound good though.

I'd go with the SVS being that my HSU sub is the best they have ever made and they don't make them anymore...but I do like my 1220 over SVS because of its musicality
