Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU)

@onhwy61 

You may have been looking at my system profile. I no longer have the X3s. I now have Cornwall IV loudspeakers. Even though I know they aren't doing much below the mid 30s, the bass they have is excellent. I am just looking for something to augment that lowest octave.

Check out that pair of Omega Speaker Systems Speed 10 subs here on the gon.  They look pretty interesting.  If you have walnut cornwalls, it might be a good match aesthetically

Yeah I saw that pair a couple days ago. Although it looks interesting, I'm not sure that they could keep up with the output of the cornwalls.

Hello Ozzy,

     You know that I know that you know the answer.  Two subs will perform about twice as well as one sub in virtually any room, including yours.  Two ULS?-15 mk2s would perform very well and, according to their website, they're within your budget:

$739 each with $85 s/h=$824 each/shipped
2 x $824=$1,648

Am I missing something?

It's been some time since I owned any HSU subs, so maybe they have gotten better, but I like the build quality and sound of Rythmik and SVS subs a lot more than HSU.  Consider getting two F12s vs. a single Rythmik sub or push your budget a little and get 2 F15HP subs from Rythmik.  I would also take a look at a pair of SVS SB3000 subs.  Right at your budget point and an excellent value.  Or get 4 SB-1000s and make a Swarm!
