My listening / viewing room (a 40' Bluebird bus/RV) has limited floor space and the seating arrangement really only allows about 12" wide by 20" deep by 23" tall. Within those parameters I've narrowed down to the AV123 X-Sub and the Outlaw LFM-2, though I'm open to other suggestions. Does anyone have comparative thoughts on them? A couple of reviews and the specs suggest the LFM-2 goes a little lower.

Thanks!

The LFM is a better sub. Tom Nousaine tested it's sister sub an HSU STF-1, in his large 7500^3 room and it produced 75db spls @ 20hz which is pretty impressive for an sub with a single 8'' driver. The X sub will extend down to around it's advertised 28hz tuning point, but will produce port cuffing at higher spls. It's a great sub for music, but for HT I think there are other choices. The LFM-2 is a true sub in that it has the capability to perform well with the most dynamic movie tracks or music.

Well, that's only one vote in, but I'm impatient as the rest of the gear is here already. So I went ahead and bought the LFM-2... Thank you for the feedback!
