I have no need for a TV, but I can at least come to this thread to look. GLWS

Somebody needs to buy this so I can stop drooling over it.

Yeah, that's definitely not my cup of tea. I need the thump.

Lol, I've walked in on one of those glue conversations before. It seems to gets a little feisty at times.

I would certainly try the kit. I wouldn't even want to waste my time trying to do it from scratch.

As awesome as the 15 is, many of us here can steer you towards a DIY project that will blow that away, if you have an interest?
My 2c is you have to want at least 2 subs to really make it worthwhile, but for around $800-$1000, depending upon what you were to build, you could have 2 subs that can match up to the best from SVS but won't cost $2k each
Let us know, and we'll take you down that rabbit hole.....
If you are having trouble getting a Klipsch 15 at a good price and don't want DIY, I would suggest one option being an SVS sub, almost any of them do a great job at a fair price. $400/$550 it's very easy to get a lower end new one or a used mid-range one that can still meet if not beat the specs of the R115SW.
I've certainly thought about going the DIY route. There's been a few links tossed around here, that's I've taken a look at but I've never actually tried it. I'm willing to listen though.

10 db down at 31hz tells you all you need to know. this isn't a good HT choice. it would need a lot of dsp to try and flatten out and that would require a LOT of amp power. it's also highly efficient and may not sonically blend with what else you have
subs are the easiest things in the world to get right. lots of good choices. this just isn't one of them. FYI frys has that klipsch 15 on sale for 399 this week with promo code
I've been trying to catch that sale for a while. Unfortunately, there aren't any near me and the shipping option isn't available for the deal.

Sorry, I forgot I couldn't say sn@tch. Terrible

Well this thread got me to go back in there. There weren't any electronics worth buying, but I did ****** up a furniture dolly for $10.

These deals are never in my area.

The store near me had terrible deals. The best prices were on their cables and I'm sure they were still overpriced. The day I went in there they were up to 50% off but there wasn't really anything that I saw at that price. I haven't been back since.

I'm no expert by any means but what stands out to me is that the low end range of 31Hz seems high for what I would expect from an 18" subwoofer.
My SVS SB2000 (12" sealed) is rated at 19Hz.
I see what you mean. I'm trying to upgrade from a SW-450 and that's lower than this as well at 28Hz.

I have been looking for a subwoofer to add to my HT and have been thinking about going with a passive sub. Can someone take a look at the description and pictures then let me know if I would be able to use this for my setup? I've attached the link to the CL post below.

IMHO - someone missed the boat in not buying BOTH of them.
I totally agree.

These are out of my price range but maybe someone else can take advantage. The price is for 1 for speaker but he would like to sell both.
No affiliation

chase did this to me as well. the frys website is horribly behind the times and often very buggy. i honestly wonder how much longer they will be around. i went into the one in willsonville oregon not long ago and it's like stepping back in time. nothing had changed in the past 15 years. newer items yes but the store still feels like the year 2000.
frys uses some items for loss leaders or at cost specials just to draw in customers. they are always in store only and always at stupid good deals. they do this from time to time with computer parts and also with some audio items. the yamaha 1060 is on sale this week for 729 which is under where some used ones have sold on ebay. absolutely no one can touch their deal on the rf82ii and the 15" sub. just the nature of things
Well I certainly can't touch their deals because all of the ones I like are in-store. Lol

I think a lot of people will want to know if you get them or not. I've been following the Fry's deals and haven't found anything that I want available for shipping.
-
Hey Nick, do you have a price in mind for your items? It may help garner interest.
