Narrow sub(s)?

I'm looking for 2 narrow subs around 15" wide each. I want something that will be flat or close to flat down to or below 20hz in my room which is approx 11x14with a vaulted ceiling that starts around 9' and goes up to around 14'.

Budget - I'd like to spend around $1000 for the pair, but if i had to i could go up to around $2000-$2500.

These will mostly be used for HT, but I may try them with 2 channel music as well. My speakers are Salk HT2-TLs powered by and AVA Ultra+ Double 550 amp. They have useable bass down in the mid to upper 20s in my room and seem to be able to "pressurize" the room at certain frequencies.

I have curtains all around the room. I have GIK 142s at the first reflection points and I have 144s in every corner.

I'm working on getting dedicated circuits ran.

If i can't find what i'm looking for, i can rearrange my room, and then almost any sub(s) will fit in the room.


The last sub I had was a Dayton Titanic with a 1000W RMS amp. It had almost enough output for me, but it was no where near accurate enough for me, even with movies.

I plan to purchase something this week, so that seems to rule Rythmik out.

My room is small, so something that focuses more on low end extension rather than max SPL would be nice. I used to have 2, 15" subs in my car and really liked the ability of that system to play sub 20hz material.

I'm very limited on placement, and it looks like up front between my speakers is the only available space.

Current top pick is 2 Epik Legends. 2 Empires fit within my budget and space with grills removed, but I'm not sure I need quite that much output in my room.

Thanks for the help

About the only thing holding me back on those is the ability to play 20hz and lower. I think they'll be fine in my room though.

I haven't really looked at these. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll do some research.

The 10.2 doesn't look bad for the money and the width is a big plus for me. At this point, I think I'll most likely either go with a pair of ledgends or 10.2s.

Thanks

Rythmiks look good, but they are out of stock. I've also built several subs in the past and have considered their DIY options.

I don't think i'll use these much for music except when I'm in the mood for something LOUD with lots of impact.

I have a surgery coming up though in 2 weeks, and wanted subs for my home theater to help pass the time while I recover. It doesn't look like rythmik an option for this except the FV12.

I asked Jim a while ago about building a couple subs for me. 2 F12s would exceed the upper end of my budget. I spent a lot of money on burled walnut veneer and my speakers are beautiful. I also recently got a matching center. I know it doesn't make much sense to put something like chase subs next to my salk speakers, but I really don't want to invest a ton of money in subs right now.


Here's a pic if anyone is interested. They look MUCH better in person though

How do I get this price? I added 2 to my cart and it shows $1398.

The subs need to fit under my projector screen, so I don't think these would work.


I do have room for 1 off to one side, but I don't think it's the best option for me.

Yeah I agree. I'd be fine with satin black subs though since they'd somewhat match my speakers.

Thanks for the other suggestions too. I've been trying to buy subs for almost a year and just can't make up my mind.

I think i've decided on purchasing 1 Rythmik FV12. I remeasured last night, and I think a pair of these would fit since they are foward fireing unlike some of the other narrow subs.

Since there are no discounts for multiple FV12s, I plan on purchasing 1, seeing how it works in my room, and then deciding if i need another.

I also like the fact that this will only cost me about $500.

I'm still open to suggestions and would appreciate any positive or negative feedback on this decision.

Thanks
