Best Subwoofer you've ever heard???

Have you looked into the Seaton Submersive HP (now w/ higher power rating)? Many with JL Fathoms, SVS Ultras and many other high-powered subs have migrated to the Submersives with success in both HT and music.

Good luck,

Iv`e have diffently not heard them all,but after my opinion the DD series from Velodyne it`s proberbly some of the best Sub`s out there. They are all digital and there is roomcorrection with it, with a little microfon so you can correct the bass to play where you sit and listen, very smart! I used the DD12 for music at the most, and was expecting very much bass, but after pluggin it in i was not overwhelmed. But after getting used to the Sub, i cannot imagine my self without a sub. It`s much more fun with a sub, and you will hear bass that you didn`t now was there......I think ´`m gonna have another DD12:-))

I really like my JL 113s,I did have two DD-15's ,
I only had one f-113 at the time and I have to say she musically blew my DD's out of the water musically.
One JL 113 did that, I was so impressed I purchased 3 more.
I could only imagine what the JL gothams do.
these JL's are the most musical and fast subs I have listened to.
If you can audition different subs at home that would be the way to do it.I have no JL dealer here,so I took a chance and picked the one on Audiogon,then the other three.
Totally satisfied musically with the JL's.

I tried several and the Paradigm seismic 110 has an accurate and powerful bass down to 18hz, very nice looking in person and it does'nt bite, works for me.
Good luck!!

My vote goes to the Vandersteen 2Wq. I've heard louder subs, but none that blend as seemlessly or are tight and tuneful and extended as the Vandys. I have a pair of them. I also think it was smart of Richard Vandersteen to design these subs for corner placement. It has made placement of these subs a non-issue (as long as you have available room corners). A recent preamplifier upgrade finally let me hear what these subs do in the bottom octave. Wow! These subs are keepers. I have no interest in ever upgrading them. For their price, they are a steal, IMHO. Read about them on the Vandy web site before you start auditioning and shopping. They are not for every main speaker or every room.
