Generally for music you would want a sealed sub. However, I'm not aware of any good sealed subs to fit within a tight budget (like <1k). Even something like the SVS SB10-NSD (10" driver) is 2.6k.

So you'd have to look at ported subs, for which the price range is very wide and you can find something to fit your budget.

aww sad... must it be in the thousand range?
sealed subs are nice... ported isn't... I've experienced it

at least that question has been answered. thanks a lot

for the last question, what about that?

Well, I've not seen any reputable sealed sub in the hundreds range. I suspect a sealed sub involves more design work and higher parts cost, hence fewer low-cost models.

Most subs have an upper cut off (at the top end) using the crossover adjustment. This is to blend in with the main speakers. For the low end, generally there is no filter (only a few subs have it) i.e. the sub will perform until its mechanical/design limit at the bottom end.

looks like i might have to settle with the wharfedale's sw150(550SGD which is still within my budget, ~RM1-1.5k)
or up my budget to get the ASW610 or the SVS (both listed at 2.6k )

Where can buy this wharfedale's sw150 in penang ?

hmm... I guess I'll have to build my own enclosure then

but then I've remembered yamaha got the low cut filter

Edit: lol that's a high cut filter
so that means most subwoofers have this filter? awesome!
that kinda makes me reconsider some subwoofers.
will have a look at some SVS subs (and will try to save up for them)

thx for the info

Hmmm, for me, high chance im delaying sub purchase , going for bookshelf instead which is easier to drive than my floorstand. Most probably Dynaudio DM 2/8, will go audit this wednesday. Just audited DM 2/7 2 days ago.

But somehow or the other, i will get a sub in the near future

Time to upgrade your amp, perhaps?

i looking sub.. SW150 or Para PDR10.which is better? I going music 70% and 30% movie.

I would suggest that you consider sealed sub since you are mostly into music. Wharfedale SW250 or similar in this price point worth considering.

SVS SB 10

Bro, out of his budget lah. Those subs that he mentioned is below RM2K.

U forgot to ask him his living room/HT room size first.

Top up bit lo. Hifi set up ain't cheap.

ya. looking below RM2k if possible..beside sw250?

i think you'll have to settle with PDR10
local distro says that the SW150 EOL already
but i think SG distro might have left some old stock(why do i know? cuz im looking for one too, with the same criteria )

if really cannot get the SW150, i think i'll get the impact 10 or impact mini (~RM1.4-8k) instead

He is more into music. The vented sub mentioned suffers from overhang and rather boomy to say the least. Not sure whether Sunfire has any sealed sub within his budget.
