Subwoofer for 600 or less?

[MxStYlEpOlKmAn]

Hi folks - the debatable mx is back and hes asking questions...
I got my eye on the 550 dollar SVS. What other subwoofers for 600 dollars or less is out there.
What im looking for -
*Powerful (wont distort at loud volumes - within reason)
*Loud, I dont care if it hits only down to 30 hz, I want it to play loud
*accurate
*small...it can be tall, but I need it to be relatively small.

if you can think of a sub, plz tell me.

HSU V-2

Gonzo's Velo CHT 12 for $250.

how do they compete to the SVS?

[Dr. Spec]

SVS = much more clean output and similar extension.

Velo is STILL a great deal, though.

[MxStYlEpOlKmAn]

GANZO! Hows your sub hit? does it play loud? distort? eh? Whats the condition? good? If you don't mind holding it until around July or so, I might take a swing at it.

Heard the Velo ch12 - Its not bad. But I dont think it would satisfy our young friends taste for loud and clear......

Velo makes good stuff, but the cht series is not much better than Polk.

When I go on a fun trip to CC, i go right over Polk subs...they don't look impressive and i've heard such bad things...

Most CC's carry the cht12...... its worth listening to. It would probably make a guy like me happy

Though that SVS.... man oh man...... Im still drooling

[MxStYlEpOlKmAn]

SVS or that HSU will be my take...probally SVS to check out all this hype and approval.

it can go 110db with verylow distorshon. and it will have deceant output fron low 20 up i treat my stuff real nice i dident want to test how high it would go and 110 was good enough for me. i got the mesurement setting my sub limiter.

[goingganzo]

i dont need to sell it any more so i can buy my amp for my soon to be sub i got alot more back from the fesd than i thought i would. when i get my sub the velo will be demoted to tv watching duty on a prologic recever.

so Mom didn't cough up the 3 grand? :)

Two questions:
You need a powered one?
What are the limits on its footprint? any height restriction?

Guess that was three questions...

[MxStYlEpOlKmAn]

It can be no wider than 1.5 feet. and 2 feet in depth. It can be 8 feet tall for all i care! lol! Yes I need a powered one, I dont have the money to cough up an amp for a subwoofer. nah my mom said i was insane...I said mom...well it can be your new couch and it comes with vibrators!!
