I have under a grand to spend and have been thinking about HSU, Velodyne, SVS and a Sunfire Junior. I have a pair of Monitor Auido 5i and 3i and a 10i on a Outlaw 1050 receiver. I am looking for a sub that is musical but can also go deep and loud for movies. Thanks in advance.
think vmps, w/a marchand xm-9 24db/octave x-over, & a used cheap solid-state amp. far better sonics, extension, spl, etc., than anything else for $1k, even used. my opinion, of course... ;~)
Also a used REL strata, sub $1000. If you don't like it (very unlikely) it's an easy resell, probably with little if any loss. I found a 6 month old strata3 for $800. Pretty hard to beat that.
If music is your priority, you only real choices are REL or ACI. At under $1k, you'll have to find used or demo. Ome up with $1100 for a new ACI. Don't sell yourself short on an inferior sub, it will ruin your musical enjoyment.
