I've often thought it would be great if there was a thread where respective subwoofer owners could introduce themselves if they are willing to entertain a fellow avsforum enthusiast by demoing their subwoofer.
This type of thread could easily help two kinds of people.
1) A person in the market for a subwoofer who doesn't even know where to start --- with no local contacts for demoing quality equipment to even begin to get a basic idea of what he is looking for. (Ported?/Sealed?/Pricerange?)
2) The enthusiast who just wants to hear other subwoofer products that are geographicaly local because he enjoys the hobby and perhaps would like to network with other enthusiasts.
I'll obviously advise caution in providing your actual address more specifically than city, except through PMs as each owner feels comfortable.
