SUBWOOFER ADVICE NEEDED

Shop around for a used Infinity 1.2s subwoofer with RABOS and 850 watt BASH amplifier. It's no longer in production, but cost $2000 new, and if you can find one, it should be under $1000. In general, avoid ported designs.

Well, what you are looking for is fast musical sub. There are several options, although one of the best one for your application, REL Strata III, is no longer made. You might be able to find it used for about a Grand. Other suggestions would be ACI Force, Martin Logan subs, Vandersteen subs, and Pinnacle Baby Boomer or Subsonic.

IMO the best sub on the market (within reasonable cost) is the ACI Titan. I auditioned REL, Martin-Logan, Polk, B&W, and more whose names escape me (sorry). But none sounded more musical than the Titan. And it also has satisfying HT-type power. The great thing about ACI is that you can return the sub within 30 days for a full refund, less shipping, if not satisfied for any reason. Its superb quality is not just my opinion. Check this out:

Check out the new Titan XL ($1,100):

Just get one and be happy! Seriously.

Give Ty a call. He'll fix you up. He's good at what he does and your sub would match your Tylos.

Try looking for a earthquake mkiv-10. They are inexpensive and are very quick sounding all the way down to 25hz very musical and way under your budget.
