Just finished the basement and setting up a home theatre, room size is 22x39. is the SVS PB12-NSD/2 the way to go? or will a smaller one do? this is more than I wanted to spend but I do not want to buy and say I wish I bought a better sub..... |

Bronze Member Username: HuronPost Number: 90 Registered: Mar-07 | very nice looking sub, but I question ported subs at this time, some say there unnatural sounding, I own enclosed, as far as buying something smaller, yes you will regret it, trust me, I went through it once and bought the one I really could not afford, after I was so happy I did it , and its still in my system |

New member Username: LamgarPost Number: 2 Registered: May-07 | been reading alot, HSU, SVS, Polk the polk PSW505 looks close in the specs and is much cheaper here in canada. anyone have an opinion if this sub is any good for my application they have the same amp as the SVS.... help? |

Bronze Member Username: HodedofomeTX USA Post Number: 59 Registered: Dec-06 | Just looked at your room size, yes as others have said you will not regret buying the bigger, badder sub, and you'll probably want more than 1 in the future. If the budget is tight buy them 1 at a time I guess. |

Silver Member Username: Eib_nationOhio EIBville Post Number: 183 Registered: Jul-06 | The PSW505 is close in specs to the PB-12NSD/2 in what way? Those subs arent even in the same zip code, let alone similar. |

Bronze Member Username: HodedofomeTX USA Post Number: 63 Registered: Dec-06 | If you have to go cheaper this is a new sub that's getting good reviews (not this exact one but I can't imagine the low-end getting good reviews and the higher-end subs performing poorly) http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?t=2&products_id=103 Look at some of the other offerings as well, this sub is $550 and looks to be a shade less than the SVS in specs but $350 less in price. So you could do 2 of them for $700 cheaper than 2 PB-12NSD/2 (you're gonna probably want more than 1 either way when it's all said and done, unless you don't care for much bass). Just a thought. |

Some of the subs on this list may surprise you like the RSW15. |
