twisted1272 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I currently own the 25-31 pc plus but it is extremely powerful but extremely large. I wanted your opinion on what you think of the sb 12 plus vs the sound of the 25-31 and especially say i didnt own either one what would your opinion be?.

CECAA850 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 What are you going to use the sub for? Music, HT? For music in a small to medium sized room, I would go with the smaller sealed sub. For HT, I'd use the larger ported tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Take a look at the Proficient 10" sub. Excellent for music and movies......... http://www.proficientaudio.com/images/brochures/Proficient%20Sub%20Series.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent for music and movies......... http://www.proficientaudio.com/images/brochures/Proficient%20Sub%20Series.pdf A 10" sub with a 120 watt amp that's only good to only 32 Hz good for movies (for $450.00)? I guess it's better than no sub[:$] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 This paragraph taken directly from the SVS website under the SB-12 Plus page sums it up for me: If you need room rattling power, the ultimate depth, AND want a small footprint too? Then our exclusive space-saving Powered Cylinder subs should be on your short list to evaluate. Few brands will be honest about this point: "size matters" ... with subwoofers. Even if perfectly designed, no truly small sub like the SB12-Plus will compete with an equally well-designed large subwoofer (particularly if it's one of our super-efficient vented subwoofers such as those mentioned just above). I wouldn't consider the 25-31 to be extremely large myself. Its the shortest of all of their cylinder subs and doesn't take up very much floor space at all. In fact, it takes up the least amount of floor space of any of the subs that SVS makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent for music and movies......... http://www.proficientaudio.com/images/brochures/Proficient%20Sub%20Series.pdf Are you sure this is the sub you said is excellent for movies? I think there's probably more fed power and air being moved by my very humble mains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 But to answer your original question it's all about application. What are you looking to do with this noisy appliance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted1272 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 thanks for all your responses, my main problem now after having the sub a few years is that it is so large that the size thing is wearing off. I want a smaller sub and have orderded the sb12 plus. they have a 45 day guarantee and if i dont like it then i can send it back. i am worried about the sound not "hitting" the right places in the room due to waves. Does anyone know the wave lengths? Hopefully they will be smaller so will be enjoyed around whole room. Does another sub fit this description? I use this sub not nearly enough to even power turn up. thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Smaller wave lengths? Sound waves at the same frequencies are the same size regardless of the device that is producing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
