PB2000 represents a solid step into true subwoofers at an affordable price. The pb1000 is the entry level suggested around here(or a sub with similar specs). You are comparing a sealed expensive sub to a ported (relatively) inexpensive sub. Anything cheaper and performance drops off.Why is the pb2000 so special? That thing is huge for a ported 12"...actually larger than my sealed 15" velodyne f1500
And my ancient f1500 looks like it hits much lower... 13Hz actually. Yes, it was also $1300 new, but that was back in the ice age so now not sure what price range it would be in if sold today
Understood. Though why not buy a used sub that is less expensive and overall better?PB2000 represents a solid step into true subwoofers at an affordable price.

That is also recommended lol and exactly what I did. New guys are usually hesitant to buy used when it comes to speakers but I always suggest it especially if budget is tight. Generally a lot more can be had in terms of quality but without a warranty which deters some.Understood. Though why not buy a used sub that is less expensive and overall better?
The F1500 has a Frequency response of 18-85hz, it's +/-3db point is more then likely in the mid 20's. It is not doing anything @ 13hz. My money would go towards a PB2000 all day.Why is the pb2000 so special? That thing is huge for a ported 12"...actually larger than my sealed 15" velodyne f1500

With how much output? unless it can do 100db + @ 13hz with less then 10% thd that independent test is meaningless. Not to mention that testing was probably done well before cea2010 was around and actually had some set standards for measuring output.Independent tests showed it hit down to 13hz
