trashyrich1157 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi guys. I put a small system together at my girlfriends place. It has KG .5's for the front and rears, and a KV 1 for the center. I was hoping you guys could let me know the best sub for this system. (Klipsch or not) I have a SW 8 and I am not sure if she would be ok with something that large( I know, its not that big) Thanks for your help. This site has helped a bunch.

tommyboy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 and I am not sure if she would be ok with something that large( I know, its not that big) I guess WAF is pretty important here? Sunfire makes some pretty small subs that pack a large punch....... What's your budget? Also, I believe it's Velodyne? just came out with a 9 by 9 inch sub that's supposedly goes really deep! Normally with subs, the bigger the box, the bigger the punch........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Order the Conquest by Epik (36"x22"x30"). Once she sees it tell her you'll return it and get something smaller. Buy a Sub-12 and show her how tiny it is. She'll be thrilled. It's all about perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashyrich1157 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 WAF? What is that ? As far as my budget . I was hoping to get some ideas here and then pick one up on CL or Ebay, or the Garage sale form on this site. I am aware that bigger is better, but I figured that since the speakers I have are so small, a smaller sub would get the job done. Thanks.

trashyrich1157 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 That thing is HUGE!! I am sure she would be fine with anything else after I brought that beast home. Hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 WAF? Well, in your case it would be GAF. Girl approval factor. Yes, the SUB 12 is a beast! you'd love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 SW8 is large...HA HA HA please. [:|] The JL Audio f113 is very small,the SVS Ultra13 is mid sized and the Epik Conquest is ...very acceptable in size. A large sub has an internal net volume of ~10 cu ft or more. The SW8 is the size of a shoe box. You want small and good...Sunfire Signature and the Velodyne DD12,these are not cheap. You want a better value...SVS SB12 cube alot cheaper and close in performance. Best compromise in my view...HSU new sealed sub using a mighty 15",this unit would be my first choice as far as price performance and SQ quality with good output...and extension.

trashyrich1157 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Guys, thanks for the input. I think I have an idea of a direction to go if the GF gives the OK. BTW . GAF/WAF is really funny. Never thought of it that way. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You've got it all wrong. WAF is in no way, shape or form funny! I'm sure almost the whole forum would agree with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashyrich1157 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 I am sure it is not funny if you are in that position. However, I am not. I have my small apartment, with my system in it ( just added a Rotel CD player tonight) and I come over here when I want /need to get away. I am 42, never married, no kids, had a vasectomy 2 years ago. I ROCK ! And so does my and my GF's speakers. It is all about priorities boys, priorities. And seriously, I cant complain.
