SuBXeRo Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 We are closing on our home today! Yipee!!!! I have started to consider building myself a sonasub. I think it would be a fun project and i have always liked downfiring subs. The cylinders are cheap enought o make this a really fun project and to try different things. I am debating on doing it ported but in any case, i need to familiarize myself more with WinISD to make it happy. For this project, i am scoping out the 15" dayton ultimax. Thoughts this vs the 18" dayton reference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 I took the plunge, dual PC12-PLUS's! Just ordered them, muhahahaha!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Congrats []. You will love them very nice subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 the beasts arrived a few days ago and they are....awesome. The first sub of the 2 i hooked up had some issues. The display on the plate amp kept fading to the point of being unreadable and the amp was just not acting right. I disconnected and got the other one up and running it it works just as it should. I have it tuned to 16hz on the DSP. I will say that 1 of these in my 3200 cuft room is enough but i got the second for even room response which i can already tell is beneficial especially having duals in the past. Now on to my SVS customer service experience. Well, you may ask "Ian. why did you go with SVS?" My answer is a quality product with excellent customer service. Rythmik was on my list and so was HSU but HSU didn't fit my needs and Rythmik never suggested awesome customer service and doesn't warranty like SVS. Some will snark at this statement but free shipping both ways and a full 5 year warranty beats slaps Rythmik even if their products have more output. Not to mention, when i called Rythmik, I assume i got Brian on his cell with the absolute worst reception ever and this was like that the last time i called about a year or 2 ago. If i had money to blow and it wasn't a concern, i would happily play around with a Rythmik, i have only heard good things about their products and their quality. SVS is shipping me a new plate amp with a shipping return label and i just ship back the defective amp. Yes, that easy. Only question asked was what is the amp doing wrong and where do i ship it. The biggest thing that i have noticed so far is that the bass is deep, clean and accurate. I compare it to my small HSU ported sub and this thing is only about 3 times the cost and you get output 20 times what it could do. Obviously and apples/pears comparison but it gives a benchmark. Now, lets compare to my 2 Emotiva Ultra Sub 12's. One PC12-Plus kills 2 Emo Ultra Sub 12's. Again, a little bit of apples to oranges but it gives you an idea. Ported vs Sealed and more power per driver. I am still working on placement of everything so its not fully ironed out. I will have pictures soon enough since words suck and eye candy is much more fun. Nothing like woofer porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo171 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 ^^^SVS Customer Service is the Bomb! They just started the 45-day in home trial period. You don't like the SVS speaker/sub, they will pay for return shipping. Ed Mullen, the Director of Technology and Customer Relations, is an active member on AVS and answers the tough questions. Aren't those cylinders a trip to look at??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Well, you may ask "Ian. why did you go with SVS?" Okay, will do. "Ian, why did you go with SVS?"[] I'll answer that for you. Because SVS is awesome. Great build quality, very accurate bass, fast, deep, excellent warranty, excellent customer service. The biggest thing that i have noticed so far is that the bass is deep, clean and accurate. See we agree. Enjoy your new toys. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Congrats I'm jealous. I'd like a pc-12 plus for my living room but just didn't have the spare cash so I settled on a used sb-12nsd. But I do enjoy the high gloss black on the tiny box. Blends in nice with the icon w. but I REALLY want a cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 so far, the cylinders were a good decision. The box vs the cylinder have their perks. SVS recommends you place the cylinder as close to your mains as possible when running duals and corner load them with singles. When you run then is such close proximity to your mains, you lose some response because the waves hit your towers. JUst something to keep in mind. This is something avoidable with box since they are front firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
