Are you open to other options? I'd toss the Submersive into the mix since you are in that $$$ range.
The F113 is a smaller cabinet sealed sub where the SVS PB Ultra and Submersive are big ass ported ones.
If you have the room, and don't care so much about looks, the Ultra or Submersive are the way to go.
I personally went with a F113 because I needed a smaller physical cabinet size. Pretty happy with the choice so far....

Good questions. In addition, how loud do you like to playback? How deep do you want the sub(s) to go? Is your primary use for HT or for music?

Thanks all for the replies... My kitchen , Dinning room , and living room are basicly all in one with open floor plan... my kitchen and dinning room have 8.5 ft ceilings.. My Living room has 18ft ceilings... My HT/Livingroom area is 15' X 15' . I have 5 windows and a entry door in the 15' X 15' area.. so space is a issue.. I will be using it mostly for movies and maybe iPhone use...

Ilkka's measurement of the F113 at 20 Hz yielded 101.3 db. This figure is 2 meter ground plane (outdoors).
The PB-12 Plus was tested by Sound&Vision's Brent Butterworth. In his test his measurements were done indoors in his listening rooms "sweet spot". In those conditions, the PB-12 Plus delivered 114.8 db at 20 Hz. Very strong output indeed.
How many dbs do you think you would have to add to the F113 to be consistent with the measured output of the PB-12 Plus given room gain?
I'm not saying the F113 would equal the PB-12 Plus at 20 Hz since the PB-12 Plus has its maximum output at 20 Hz while the F113 has its maximum output at 63 Hz, but with room gain at 20 Hz being substantial, the difference may not be all that great when both subs are measured the same way.
