Anonymous | I'm looking for a sub around $500. Mostly for watching movies. |

I just got a 12 for my HT and will hopefully have it all up and running for you all to see this weekend. I just wanted something I knew would be loud and would hit all the lows I wanted to hit in my HT setup. |

Therefore it really negates its use as a HT sub. ??? The OP wrote his use is "mostly movies." Why would he care if the PB10 is "boomy" for music? |

Silver Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 716 Registered: Feb-05 | ed... re-read my post please... it said and I quote "therefore it really negates its use as a HT sub" if you have a sub that can't reproduce music properly, you will still end up with a $hitty sub, no matter what. |

Gold Member Username: Edster922Abubala, Ababala The Occupation Post Number: 3665 Registered: Mar-05 | I disagree. HT just requires going as low as possible while being as loud as possible. That's why SVS subs are so popular for HT, and rightfully so. Music requires the sub to be really precise and fast, and extension under 30-35Hz is pretty much superfluous. Unless you are one of the .005% of people who watch movies just to listen to the music soundtracks of course. |
