JSChapman Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Alright so I still have some tax return money burning a hole in my pocket and I am trying to acquire a powered subwoofer. At this point I will consider any decent subwoofer under $200. I really like Outlaw Audio subs(based on their reviews) and yes they do exceed my asking price but, the LFM-2 isn't that far off.. I will also consider HSU or anything in comparison. Though the LFM-2 is really what I would like to have. http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/lfm2.html JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSChapman Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 If $200 is too low of an asking price for a subwoofer, let me know and let me know what I should save up for instead. Keep in mind I'm young and on a budget but, would love to have some more low-end in my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think you need to aim a bit higher BUT...you should be able to find an Outlaw Audio LFM-2 in that price range if someone will part with it...I had bought a near new in box one for exactly that price on the 'gon but the seller packed it poorly and it arrived crushed (thanks UPS for helping [])...I have seen a couple go in the $175-$200 range since...)...good luck...

wuzzzer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The Dayton line of subs from http://www.PartsExpress.com are well-received. They make them in several price ranges. The kits you put together yourself are the best values. You might be better off saving a little more money and find a used Klipsch Sub-12. If you have a Best Buy near you check and see if they have any open box Sub-12s. If you find one locally on eBay or craigslist you could probably pick one up for around $300.

JSChapman Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hey thanks for the input guys. I thought $200 was just a bit low but, you never know I might get lucky. I'll check Parts-Express and see if I have luck their. The reason I am pushing so hard to get the LFM-2 is space constraints. It just fits perfectly where I need it.

JSChapman Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hey there is a listing on AudiogoN for a HSU STF-1. I've read online that it's basically the LFM-2's brother. So what do you guys think? http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?homesubw&1245356019&/HSU-STF-1- JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 it shows sale pending...is that you???...I have found that the Hsu stuff is very good and the Outlaw Audio somewhat a refinement or tweak of the corresponding Hsu...maybe a bit more powerful amp and a downward firing sub (the Outlaw)...that price isn't bad but I would be wary of any that are shipped unless you can be assured of the original packing materials...good luck...

wuzzzer Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hsu has a great reputation for inexpensive subs with much higher output and much deeper bass extension than most others subs in the same price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out he is a really cool guy and is willing to ship it all the way down to Nashville,TN. AWESOME!!! [] I'll know more when he calls me back after work.
