SVS subs are big but not so big that you need a truck lah. Trying to make it sound so big that car like Myvi having hard time is overhype.

I think a sedan is not good for carrying any thing. Maybe good for hiding a dead body biggrin.gif

This is the biggest and heaviest box subwoofer I have carried so far. Having muscles pain now sweat.gif
Definitely normal sedan won't fit. With box, it can't go into rear boot of any sedan either. Wagon is another story.

Yah..the PB is much more heavier than the PC.

do you normally listen as 2.1? or just depend the song?

I prefer bookshelves monitor speakers so naturally the bass is weaker than those full fledge floorstanders. Therefore i always engage my sub for deeper bass in 2.1 set-up and sometimes 5.1 or 6.1 depending on the material.

My plaster ceiling have a nasty crack. I think its the PC12+'s fault. Too much vibration. Hope that it will not cause more crack that might result in expensive workover.

Mine is about 3-4 ft crack and very visible. I like bass and the problem is some movies you don't get much of it. Other have some serious bass that really rather the whole house and you can really see the plaster ceiling taking a beating.

I have a energy saving downlight right above the sub. During those low vibration time, I can see the downlight vibrating up and down.

During Chinese New Year, I hang some lanterns on the 6 downlights in my living room and when my friend came over, i show them what my sub can do. During that time, four of the laterns drop off.

My friend who order the PC12+ with me together with the 7.1 SVS speakers just recently finish his new home and I help him setup his new system. He also mention that the HT room ceiling is vibrating too much as we can both see with powder on the floor.

Htkaki, do you think a subdude beneath the sub can help it tighten up the bass a little more?? Are we able to audition that with & without?

Wow, seems like your downlight is enjoying the low bass & is dancing to the tune  rclxms.gif
Any other svs owners who have more to share about the impact it cause to the surroundings.....I think it is pretty interesting to read.

Forgot to mention that the downlight right above the PC12+ already burn out twice. Not sure if its due to too much vibration or not.

Yes, SVS came out with cyclinder sub initially.

lightning69, only that particular downlight?
*
Yep, that particular downlight right above the sub. You can see it dance during the low freqeuncy part.

Probably due to very bare acoustic treatment. Now, I am interested to do corner trap.
*
I am not sure if acoustic treatment will help. What I do know is during those super low frequency time where you can fell the wave moving thru the room(what the sub suppose to do) the ceiling also vibrates.

Anyway, i have my sub volume at 12.

Everytime the PB13-Ultra flexes its muscle, it will vibrate  sweat.gif For the record, my Ultra is being tuned at 74dB as I have yet to rectify some acoustic issue.

Hopefully get it done by this week.

I have one of these on top of the TV. The downlight on top of the woofer is those type where it fits into the plaster ceiling.
