Hi,
As I was doing my research on which sub to buy (and still sort of am...going to try the DIY route but this may take awhile, and I probably want to get something in the meantime) I noticed that:
1) There aren't a ton of down firing subs on the market
2) Everyone here loves the BIC F12 and yet I don't hear anything about the BIC V1020, although they have practically identical specs:
BIC F12
12" woofer
150 W RMS
Freq response down to 25 Hz
BIC V1020
10" woofer
150 W RMS
Freq response down to 26 Hz
The reason this came to my attention is that the V1020 is $260 CDN and the F12 is $380.
If they perform the same, why the price difference? Are front firing subs better in general? Or are they just in greater demand because they look cooler and people prefer them?
I have to admit if I could get the F12 for the same price I probably would, because I like the look better....but are there other reasons I am not aware of?
Look forward to your thoughts,
C
