Hi all,


I posted a thread a bit back about subwoofer selection, and need another round of input as the situation has changed a bit as to the size that I can fit into my spot.


Basically, I want some ideas as to the "biggest bang" in the smallest package... I had originally thought I would be able to fit upwards of 24" cubed, but now I would be pretty lucky to fit about 14" cubed...

I know that it will entail a sacrifice on output, etc on my part, but it is what it is... at least I can maybe get a better quality sub for a $600 budget because it will be smaller?


Thanks for any and all advice/input... it is kind of frustrating for me, but I want to be able to do the best that I can with my new restrictions...

You won't have much to choose from. I would be looking for a used Velodyne minivee in that budget and size restrictions.

I gave up on a cubby hole idea based on what people said in my thread. But maybe you could take a look at it and find something helpful to you.

SB12-Plus actually.... found here http://www.svsound.com/products-sub-box-sb12plus.cfm


Nice potent little sub for its size, can't quite hit the really low stuff but a great little powerhouse.... bought one for my son, and it slams hard for music, not a good for HT, but it'll still give ya plenty....


I had to constantly tell him to turn it down, when he wouldn't listen I just cranked the hell out of my JL F112 in the middle of his sleep, he then got the message.... !!!!!


In fact, I got his used on the b-stock page, keep and eye out there if that unit suits your needs...

Take a look at this. A Definitive Technology SuperCube III.

If you can tolerate 14.5x14.5x14.5, you might look at http://www.epiksubwoofers.com/sealedvanquish.html . The only problem is that there are none currently available. But if you are interested, call Epik and ask about future availability.

Thanks for all the info!!! I had been looking at SVS and Epik, and the stock situations have been disheartening... I have also been looking at eD.


Started a new thread as well - can maybe grab some additional room if I can place it in the recess with the TV and AV stuff... we'll see.


Thanks again!

If you check your link the SB12-Plus is discontinued (and sold out).


The model I referenced is new and not released yet, but appears to be a close match to the OP's requirements.

What about the klipsch XW-300d ? It suits your size requirement and it goes down to 21 Hz. http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/xw-300d-overview/

All of Epik's subs are being discontinued. The Empire is the new sub, the only one available right now, presumably with new models coming soon.

Supercube III or a Sunfire.

Oh thank you, I haven't been caught up with that info.


Didn't know they dropped it for a re-do... It seemed like he was ref something totaly different, and he actually was...



Ultimately the best bang in a small package would be a JL F112, there is no other to compare with in its size - PERIOD !!! but it will cost you.

Yes, but did you miss the part about the budget?


The new SVS model I referenced is within ~$100 of the OP's stated budget; the F112 is nowhere near that so it's a moot point.

What I meant was, you were ref the new subs that aren't available yet. And no-one knows when at this point...


I was well aware of the price point, I was just making a declaration about the "Best small sub" thats it...

Since the SVS web page says "coming soon", I assume that means coming soon, but only SVS knows exactly when that might be. It's usually not good business practice to discontinue a popular model with nothing to replace it on the horizon.

If the OP has the 3X budget for an F112 go for it.
