I wanted to convert but my living room got no space for that big monster, even their normal box type are so BIG!

and....I need a power amp 1st to drive my Axiom.....

maja_5365 & izmel_s jz left. They came to audition the PC-12Plus. Poisoned 2 more members 

kiam you are on my priority list (I mean 'to poison' list) 

I did some testing using this part of the transformer 1 movie - Bring the Rain

Two SVS pc12-NSD vs 1 Velo SPL1200. (Sorry about the T-shirt, forgot to take away)
Conclusion is that the SVS can go really low. I would prefer if it is a sealed box.

I am not very good in writing reviews, but will try my best to give my impression of the PC12-Plus once i get it.

Dang, that SVS is so much bigger than your main speakers!

I think lately a lot of people have been poisoned by bass and spending a disproportionate amount on a sub compared to the rest of the speakers Which brings me to the question: what % should you spend on the sub compared to the rest of the speakers? Found these threads discussing the issue: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thre...-speaker-budget and http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/hom...ker-budget.html

For me the sub is nearly 33% of my 5.1 setup cost. What's yours?

Hahaha...i know.  I'm getting the agent to settle with the custom for me so confirm can get it out tomorrow.  But I might wait till wednesday to collect it when my Odyssey is ready for collection too.  That way i don't have to go to Brunei 2 times.

what's he looking at??   

I finally got my SVS PC12-Plus last thursday, but I have to go back to my home town to visit my dad for a few days. so didn't manage to really set it up and test it till today.

Here are some pictures of my lovely PC12-Plus.

Still in the box with my old 12" B&W sub.


The undressing....


Here are a comparison of the 3 subs .... from right to left ... Velodyne CHT-12R , SVS PC12-Plus , and finally the B&W.


Here is my personal opinions of the PC12-Plus.  I don't call it a review as I'm not an expert in this field and I don't really know what I'm doing

The PC12-Plus comes in a very sturdy box and mine came in perfect condition.  The size is really big but i have plenty of room for it. Will show some more picture of it later.

I calibrate mine with the SPL meter I order from SVS and its pretty easy process.

Now comes the part about how the PC12-Plus really sound.  First I play some of my favorites music like Dire Straits' Tunnel of Love and Eagles' Hotel California and I'm please to say that is sub is indeed great for music.  Its fast, and very tight and best of all its not boomy at all.  I can't say how much I hated the 12R as its just doesn't sound great for music at all.  The last time I heard good sounding sub is from the REL T1, and the PC12-Plus is another great sounding sub and it blends in with my speakers really well.  It just sound so much better then my previous 2 subs.

Then I play some movies to see how good the PC12-Plus really is after reading so much rave reviews on the internet and I am happy to say that this is indeed the best sub i have ever heard!  It can go really low that i can really feel my sofa vibrate.  Even my plaster ceiling vibrates!  There is one time it even trigger the alarm sensor.
But this thing is not only loud.  It sounds really awesome....the bass is clean and tight and never boomy.  Best of all is when I play it really loud and this baby just doesn't seems to run out of juice. 

Considering the price I pay for this PC12-Plus, I have to give it 2 thumps up and I recommend that everyone who is looking for a good sub should try this baby out.  You won't be disappointed.

I am uncle here.

Update: My HT friend, Tan came over to my home today. He brought along 'Knowing' BD to test. Wah.... piang! The surr and LFE sibeh keng. I am happy to say that he noticed the AQ improvement of my setup. He likes it even more now. He told me that I only need some bass traps and some minor tweaking.

So, done some fine tuning again with his advice. Later, will do my 2nd stage treatment.

IIRC that's the cheapest watch in his collection  Mine only Oysterdate, which he 'tak main' 1. Explorer II also 'wasting time' nia 

Back to topic, here are some photos :

It is always good to read the manual before operating the units. You do not want to risk your toys getting damage.

Btw, another potential PC12-Plus owner in da house. Anyway, I might be selling off my PC12-Plus to make way for 13-Ultra. I would really like to keep it but it is too much for my room to 'digest' both.

Got movie can run that low meh?

HornyAngMoh, I can always ship to your home to make it more earth-shaking, ground rumbling, foundation trembling, roof rattling, etc.

13-Ultra for you? 

Wonder when will all these poison going to end!    really cannot tahan to feel the true colors of 12Plus!

HornyAngMoh is a bass freak. One 13U definitely not enough for him?

Where can I get this Bass Mackanic song bro? Failed your Paradigm? Now that's something.

Anyone want my Velo 12R?

At a towering 46" tall with a footprint of abt 18", aint easy to camouflage 

Agree with your point. Just afraid that the 12" powerful svs might get my neighbour's knocking on my doors.

Sorry for my noob question but i always wanted to know this. The difference between a 10" and 12" subwoofer only means 1 is more powerful than the other? Yes, no? Pls enlighten me...

And the determine whether to get the 10" or 12" would depend on the room size is it?

Thanks

Thanks bro.. What do you think if my room is a 12' x 18x room?

Would the 10" be suffice?

Boss, it ain't in Sept. Sld be early or mid Oct. I am trying to have Ron with us for a day.

You may come to my home for some poison though 

hseingloong, my room is about the size of your room; 10' x 20'. The next sub that will reside in my room would be 13Ultra
