$1,300 to spend on a subwoofer - Page 2

I've had a SV PB13Ultra for yrs. now. Had the BASH amp I changed out to the SLEDGE and have been happy with the sub and great customer service. I also tried 3 SHO-10s before I purchased my current setup. They sounded great but back when I purchased them there QC was not very good. Needed to order a part that was broken and different dampening material in each speaker which was noticeable. They did ship out a part though right away but by then it was a deal breaker. They are much better at QC these days so I have heard.

Find a used JTR passive cap (there is a pair on avs classifieds right now) and a decent used amp. It will be slightly over your budget but none of the options presented so far will come close to it .

my personal experience:

name me one sub mfg. that has a b2b 5yr warranty,1yr trade-up program,excellent c.s. and great products. i just used the trade up program, and couldn't be more thrilled.you get FULL credit of your purchase price minus the frt chrgs. what other company would even think of this. sure they aren't the best bang for your buck i don't dispute that, but with the above offerings i think they are very hard to beat.

This guy knows what's up. Thanks for the lead man! Someone is going to get a heck of a deal.

FYI for others interested, I've received quite a few emails/PMs about splitting them up so if it makes sense I can work something out.

Wow Andrew, you are selling your caps??? I was picking pieces of your ceiling out of my hair after their demo at your GTG, Those are fracking incredible. What will be their replacement?

For OP, I own and really enjoy my FV15HP. My thoughts were, I wanted two subs (big FR response flattening benefit to duals; well documented), had 1500 to spend then, but wanted sub 20hz performance. So I am pleased with my one sub's performance and will be adding the second soon for my desired system. If I wasn't going to be able to add to it later I would have gone with two lesser subs.

I'm currently demoing the smaller PSA XS15 that is solid to 20HZ at $750. This is a great sub at a great value. If you are not going to be adding a second anytime soon my recommendation is to stretch the budget for two of these.

If you get the Rythmik you will not be disappointed, it's a great sub. It plays very clean. IMO it is a step up from the SVS and HSU, but not as deep or as loud as the Cap's or submersives clearly.

OP, Have you read up on the PA GTG Gorilla hosted?

Careful everyone. Those subs have been known to unscrew light bulbs. Consider yourselves warned.

You are welcome

Too bad I missed your G2G in October. I live in central NJ and learned about it a bit late, plus had travel plans. It would have been nice to show up with my Cap S2 and compare it with the other bad boys

congrats! be sure to report back on you thoughts!
