Sunfire SDS-12... Anyone have this sub in their Home Theater?

[jdnavioneer]

The KSW-12 I bought last week is blowing fuses and after reading some not so stellar posts about the Synergy subs, ("KSW = Krap Sub Woofer" etc.) I am taking it back to the store I bought it from (YAY me for buying local...the audio store said if I wasn't satisfied I can bring it back for a full refund...no shipping to deal with!)

There is a store here selling Sunfire that is recommending the Sunfire SDS-12 as a replacement for the KSW... Does anyone have any experience with this sub that can offer some feedback? I posted this same message in the Powered Sub forum but didn't get a reply so I'm trying here.

Thanks

Let me say this, If Sunfire utilizes "trickle down" technology from their high end gear to their mid/lower models, the SDS-12 should easily out perform the KSW-12. If my Sunfire True Subwoofer Signature(for sale in Garage sale Forum) is the flagship of the early 2000's, then Sunfire must have used some of that technology on the newer stuff.

I would highly recommend going internet direct for a sub you

will get twice the sub dollar for dollar. Svs/epik/ed/hsu all has great subs

for great price and value. Epik has a sub for 499 epik legend it has 2 12s both

powered and I’ve heard it’s an amazing sub for $500. I have the empire (big

brother2x15s) it’s a monster for $800(easily in my system best dollar value

spent next to the emo amp but that’s another tread). It might be out of your

price range. But 1 empire will outperform even the top sunfire. I do like

sunfire but the value new (unless you can get 40-50%off) can’t compete with

internet direct subs. I have a $1200 def tech sub (supercube1 paid way less)

and my epik and svs crush that sub not even close. Only problem however with

those subs are that they are huge (the epik legend is way smaller) they both

way over 120lbs and aren’t going to disappear in your room. So for some people

(not me) they want the sub to tuck away. So in that category the sunfire cubes

and def tec cubes make amazing super small subs. but if you’re like me and you

like the imposing look and sound of monster subs any of the 4 brands I listed

will knock you over. I own two of those brands and even though the svs is

probably my best sub it costs $500 more than the epic.
