    Default Bob Carver 1,000-Watt Compact Subwoofers

    Anybody ever heard of this series of sub? Audioadvisor has them on clearance. 1000 watts rms, 2000 peak, not bad. They seem to be very similar to the Sunfire True sub series. I am looking for a ub and like these small subs because they are very fast usually and works great for music. Any opinions?

    Linky Looks reasonable to me. Not a Sunfire quality line, but I'm sure worth the $$$ using similar amp switching technology.

    I've seen those as well and have wondered about them. I would check out AA return policy and give it a try. I'm betting they take back something you are not happy with but am not sure.

    too big of surrounds equals less cone space wich gives less air movement.
