Hi guys,

After doing some study, i found out that klipsh/synergy sub-12 kind of boleh tahan also (based on the specs)

Frequency response: 24 - 120 Hz +/- 3 dB
Power handling: FTC rated power: 300W continuous @ 1% THD , Dynamic power : 650W
Max acoustic: 117dB
Driver: 12" fiber composite cone - down firing
Amplifier: BASH digital hybrid

Anyone using this sub? Is it good?
What is the price?

Yes, Sub12 is obsolete. It is quite hard to judge a sub's performance based on spec, jz like loudspeakers.

Last time i used to heard some long & annoying bass sound from my neighbour before i move to new house.
Feel like dizzy listening to this kind of bass.
So this type of sub is not good, right?

I guys, I'm hoping you can help me out. My BMB sub used in my HT setup seems to be booming quite alot when I view the HD channels on Astro b.yond. Appreciate any help I can get on how to reduce the booming.

I've got satelite speakers so the crossover is set quite high from the AVR @200Hz.

With such a high crossover due to satellites setup, you're left with loose, inaccurate bass. If it's too boomy, just try to reduce the crossover slowly and the gain too.

My guess it should be Ref 2.
They are good power cords with tighter bass, control and focused vocal compared to the XLO Pro series.
Current generation is Ref 3.
