JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2
I don't know that the JL Audio subs are really worth $3500 over the Hsu. Like Eric said, the E112 does not have room correction, so if you wanted JL Audio, I'd recommend looking at used Fathom (F112). You could also look into the SVS 4000 subs: https://www.svsound.com/pages/4000-series They have a DSP/EQ built in that can be controlled from iPhone/Android. It's not an automatic room correction, but it's better than nothing. For the money, I think you will get a lot deeper bass and a lot more slam than either the JL Audio or Hsu, especially if you get the ported PB-4000. It does take more space, as it is a 13-1/2" sub with a bigger cabinet. |
@danimaz, I have a pair of the mk1 HSU ULS-15. They have been running flawlessly in my system for years. My usage is skewed more on the music side, but they have no problem handling deep movie frequencies. I have my pair eq'd using an SVS AS-EQ1. This Sub eq was only on the market a couple of years. If you can locate one of these in the used market it should not cost any more than $300-400 and total cost would come in lower than the JL pair with higher reliability. Like Erik, I've read of a decent amount of JL amp problems post warranty period. The ULS is deep, tuneful, and a pair will load even large rooms with plenty of bass. The finishing (mine are rosewood) is top notch. I would recommend one (or two) to anyone. |
