1)rm100 seems reasonable .. so for nothern buyers rm3900-rm4000 door to door is very fair.. that is what we abt what we had to pay if bought from US.

2)10days is quick.. as long as if the damage is done by the transporter then u r willing to replace it then i dont think there is no more worries on the buyers' side

Well everything looks good now!

it is good htkaki is getting so much feedback. i agree that he has to earn.. besides some of the unreasonable complaints the rest are just opinions n suggestions.. i am sure htkaki welcomes that.. he too needs to know the markets response n plan his order n shipping.. from the feedback he knows where he stand too n it is easier for him to nego with transport co..

If we look at it from a consumer point of view, it is not one's job to care abt the obstacles faced by the seller.. his salary and rent are certainly not our business .. look at the price of pb12nsd and velodyne cht12q.. these two are almost the same price range in the states and uk but over here its around rm1k diff in price.. it clearly shows there is a lot more things that can be improved.. velodyne found a way to do it.. svs is popular bcoz of its product performance, great service, great warranty n great price... the price is certainly not great in malaysia.. i am a businessman too but i dont expect my customers to think for me.. if my competitor are selling cheaper n bigger houses than me then i just have to find my way to match them and i better find it quick..

nobody is saying htkaki has a high margin, most of us r just voicing out out opinions n most ppl are concerned abt the price... but i think the poison is just too deep liao for many of us here.. after all the complaints they will buy it too heheh..

bro i come in peace.. but svs is not supposed to be b&w .. they r supposed to be budget subwoofers i like svs becoz of their service n great price to performance ratio... they r successful bcoz of that too..

i think thre is nothing much htkaki can do to reduce the price .. i do think pb12nsd rm4k shippsed to northen region is fair.. it is not cheap.. just fair as we have to pay that price anyway if we buy door to door.. i used UK price just as an example as velodyne cht12q n pb12nsd are alomost the same price.. but when it comes to malaysia suddenly pb12nsd is rm1k more expensive.. velodyne pays bills too, rental ,salary.. wait a minute.. do they pay tax?

lighting .. sea freight u need volume.. if u send 10 subs through sea it will be loose cargo.. transport cost it might not be cheaper .. the only diff is sea freight u can adjust ALOT on the tax .. if u order whole container then u might save on transport cost.. but htkaki is a dealer.. not a distributor.. if order 1 container mati la..

pb12nsd rm4000 = fair... pb12nsd rm3600 door to door =cheap!.. cheaper than buying from the states door to door (full tax)..hastle free local warranty!!.. syabas lets not talk abt buying air freight tax free.. it is very hard for air freight to get tax free.... i would say htkaki has really put in some effort in reducing his price.. no point talking abt tax free stuff or buying direct from the states, its just waste of time.. local dealer has heard our feedback and have put in quite some effort in reducing the price, so if local buyers are still not satisfied then like pierreye said, just buy other brands if u feel it is as good or buy diy.. but let me remind every1,, local carpenter wont charge cheap as subby like rythmik needs alot of bracing..

i think for cash n carry, the cash part no a big problem for fellow forumers .. but to CARRY svs subs

for movies not sure sb13+ got enuf oopmh or not

i dont know the specs of sb13+ but i think normally small and sealed subs normally u r paying for the size than performance .. u need a monster amp to push your subby in a small sealed box

Yes .. there is a very general statement.. but there r sealed subs that can go respectively loud and ported subs that r tight yet loud (claimed by svs 13 ultra users.. but not sure how true r they)

Added on August 19, 2009, 11:45 ami meant generally .. u need alot of power to go low in a small and perform well sealed sub ... your rythmik how many watts

370W? U got me there bro:) .... bro itu submersive 2 drivers in there right.. n that thing is not small.. the worst thing is the seller doesnt reply emails hahah.. just to let u guys know it is ok to spend on your sub cables but it is certainly not a must.. just get a well built 1.... read http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread....=759877&page=54 last post of that page... Mark Seaton uses only usd27 for 25' cable

ya the common thinking of smaller footprint and not so eyesore only applies when u compare with pb13ultra or those ed subs... at 46" u can only camourflage it in the dark ehehe

not familiar local transport insurance.. but rm150 hantar lepas laut to sabah with insurance sounds reasonable

i finally found das boot with dts.. seems to be the old must have movie.. always see it on sub testing list

bro actually it depends of the depth of your wallet hehe... i am no pro but the pros always say no harm getting the bigger 1 if u can afford it and if u have he space to fit in your room

1) the bigger sub will do a better when u really summon it to roar
2) 1 day u might move to a bigger room then u can still use the same sub..

bro the height of your room matter too.. kira volume.. and is your room sealed or got openings.. and r u talking abt svs 10 inch.. coz if i am right htkaki does not bring in 10 inch

it very hard to answer coz 'too powerful' is very subjective.. we want to help u but really not sure how loud is considered too loud for u.. but with proper calibration it certainly wont be too powerful.. it is even harder for any1 to help u if u r not specific abt which brand and model of 10inch or 12 inch... where do u live.. maybe u can go for some demos in hifi shops or forumers' house.. try not to listen too much to the salesmen in hifi shops.. make sure u come back here for advice 1st

it was for its size.. even now it is still one of the top .. especially for its small footprint .. but the price is very high.. there r only a few subs r said to be better according to subwoofer forums but they come in big sizes (i mean size of the subwoofer enclosures)

he will be more impressed if every1 order 1 svs on the spot:)

ronnt88 r u from north? we seems to have some mutual frens in facebook.. u r ronnie ting izt?

Sorry htkaki, submersive is not shipped to malaysia and the seller doesnt entertain overseas mails so i just thought no harm letting the bass heads in malaysia see the specs.. by the way it is USD2000 for normal finish.. so if u send it to malaysia will cost u more than rm10,000 without warranty.. by the way the last time i read there is no ready stocks .. need to wait for weeks .. i think there is no website for u to view the product also hehe.. svs much better deal la for malaysian.. warranty vely important... any problem at least u can call up htkaki n scream at him.. if u buy submersive any problem u can just shout at the subwoofer...

bro i think we should go to 'the official subwoofer thread' if we r going to discuss any other subwoofers in details.. ini svs punya tempat ..jchong might be able to answer u there
