Straight up comparison REL T7 subwoofer vs Sunfire SDS 12 woofer. Preferences or opinions?

Neither one, they both have a downward firing driver, without a butt plate or slot loaded.

In other words you CAN'T decouple the sub.. The absolute worst design for stereo playback. The whole house will vibrate.. It makes the floor, walls and ceiling act like a passive driver BUT completely out of time with the actual sub drivers.

NO downward firing anything. I call them Jackhammer Subs. 1970s-80s Tech.

If you know about BASS their site will really leave you with your eyes rolling. Dummest CRAP I've ever read as a mechanic anyways.. ZERO idea about destructive harmonics and decoupling anything from what I read..

When anyone recomends spikes for speakers, I KNOW they don't know what their talking about.. All they see is my dust..

Happy hunting BUT look somewhere else.. :-)

No, swapping out will not make much difference. You will still have just one sub, with one set of lumpy bass modes. What will make a big difference is adding instead of swapping. More subs will be much better. Put them in different locations, both close to the walls but different distances from corners. Huge improvement.

I agree with both. I prefer front firing or servo controlled subs.

Well, thanks for questioning my sanity while only mildly insulting me. I guess I'll go spend $45,000 for a subwoofer. Would that cover it? Jesus. Once upon a time Audiogon was a nice place to visit.

What is decoupling in your mind? Thanks

And what is a butt plate?
