  1. Rw12d subwoofer. Tried to post pic but it was too large I guess. Great price 200 bucks well worth that. Slightly better than my sub12s although I don't think it plays as low it does have more punch. That could also be because it's right behind my sitting position and front firing

  2. I have heard both sides of this argument and understand the pros and cons of each but my question is, if you're going to neuter your mains by hardly sending any bass to them, why not just use a bunch of bookshelves and let your subs handle all the bass. I mean what's the point of having 15 inch drivers that only play from 80hz up?

  4. I have what is according to some one of the best ever avr"s. A denon avr 4311ci and it was much better than my previous lower end onkyo but when I added the Bose 1801 power amp it made a world of difference. Just cleaner, clearer sound more dynamics and louder without sounding strained at all. I highly recommend a separate amplifier even if only for your mains like I am doing. Thinking about getting getting another 2 channel or better yet a 3 channel amp for the other speakers in my system

  5. I really just wanted to see what they could do with a lot of clean power fed to them, and it's a lot. I gave up before they did lol. According to the meters on the amp I rarely hit the 62.5 watt level and that is unbelievably loud. Peaks are usually hitting the 30 watt level

  6. I agree with Derrick 100 percent. Bigger is almost always better. I was just saying comparing 12 inch subs only, the sub 12 is a fine performer. If I had the chance to upgrade to 2 15s or 2 18s I'd  do it In  a heartbeat

  7. The sub12 doesn't get much love ion here but I have 2 and like them a lot. I know there are much better subs out there but for the price I find them hard to beat. Much better than similar offerings from Polk or even velodyne In  this price range
