If I have ample space for it, I would buy Servo-15. It is in my wish list. Now, gotta save enough $$$ for other bigger project.

i think its sealed box so not so bulky.. not sure how big is your room maybe u can email svs n let them know your room size n see if this model can fill your room or not since its sealed box.. if not wrong dirtrun is using the same model maybe u can ask him.. the seller said its 2 year old so there should be 1 more year of walenti

Why do you guys need such a powerful sub? I bet ur place is not that big either giving average home size here. If you crank up the volume it will swallow every other sound. Kind of pointless. Kiasu is it? tongue.gif

why? hehe ill tell u.. before i think sub is just for the BASS.. well that is true for music.. but for movies.. its all about the Feel.. and thats what Big sub is for.. the simulation.. and no my svs does not swallow any sound. it accentuates them really since its non directional so it kinda leaches on which ever channel sound is coming from.. say explosion happens on the backright, so sound is heard on the back right, but the Boom/Wahh comes non directionally from the sub, however since my eyes see this happening on the right, and audible directional sound heard from the backright, my mind auto associates those boom/wah from the back right.. haha dunno how to explain this effect.. but bassically its as if my 9.1 are giving me those Deep effects..

and if ur sub is swallowing every other sound then there must be a crossover issue there or thats a terrible sub.. its not pointless at all and nothing to do with kiasu.. its all Preference smile.gif ehehehe

so.. my conc, sub = for bass.. powerful sub for feel..

Taikor, small sub always has limitation of going real deep and low. So, the sole choice is big sub if you want really low freq. You dont need to crank that high for powerful sub. The trick is how to blend it in nicely to complement your sys. If you get that, then you will have very nice sounding setup w/o overpowering bass. My room is small though blush.gif sweat.gif So, a 12" that could go below 27Hz would be ideal. Next, as low as 20Hz, if not lower whistling.gif

Agree.....My sub also very powerful.....SPL max can go up to 107dB for a RMS400 watt active sub...
I just adjust less than 1/4....just pointing to THX.......already can feel the deep sound.....
those can hear from where one...might just a normall bass.....
Over power by the sub...for music...not recommended also
But....if for movie.....I also sometimes switch to 1/2 on the volume....already scare my daughter away to find my HM.... brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif
Actually, for me...at the moment....one is enough......just wish to upgrade a floorstand speaker.....
Wonder why your guy eat so much poison until wanna to get another extra sub.....may be I am not reach to the level...keeeeee notworthy.gif notworthy.gif cause I just start been poison this early year...... doh.gif doh.gif alamak......don't what will happen next few year later for me also... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

ic...its all about the low frequencies and not volume. I did experience this when I swap my yammy sub with velo. The point is even with my "peasant" tongue.gif velo 10r I can already feel my heart rattle in U-571 or ironhide doing missiles rollover. Do I really really need more than that. Guess I can never tell until I got one blush.gif

sub still need, even with reffrence speakers down to 20Hz . the power from the sub can't be replaced by any speakers .. unless very very powerfull amps, but you won't wanna push your speakers tooo much. let the sub do the job.

Depending on individuals. Some will buy a sub for each channel. Then, use high pass to connect speakers. In this configuration, you will have 8 subwoofers and 7 speakers.

The other alternative is to use power amp for each channel to drive those full range speakers. If money no object, monoblock will be given the task
