Scrappydue Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I wish I would have done the diy before I bought 3 svs subs. I could sell them build 3 and probably have over a thousand left in my pocket. Just would hate to take the loss. Plus it's pretty effortless as is. But that 1k could help fund the pro speakers I buy in the future. Ahh will this ever end! hey ref i sold the ultras for 2600 and that funded my whole build plus the omnimic system which i use ALOT. i would easily say you could fund three (i would do 4) and pocket 1200. IF you decide to do that i may have a buyer for the ultra in rosenut. my best friend has one and has asked me to keep an eye out for second but only in that color.

Heritage_Head Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) That's tempting I will let you know. I have been doing the math. 3 kpt904 and 3 18" diy subs. Would only be around 1k out of pocket. If I sell the front 3 speakers and the subs. Edited May 4, 2014 by reference_head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think PSA just recently upgraded their drivers. The newest versions are a little more money but it should be money well invested. I was never impressed with the first gen PSA drivers and obviously they weren't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) See post #9. It is not a Huge change. They make good subs. You are dying to get a sub, buy one, the Sunfire or PSA sub will satisfy you. Edited May 5, 2014 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 A couple of nice offerings here: http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/36768/feeler-svs-sb13-ultra-1150?page=1&scrollTo=635884 http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/36907/dual-psa-xv15-subwoofers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Checkout the new Chane subwoofer in gloss black. Some of their packges include the amp. Not much difference in cost compared to DYI. The sub on the right is an Outlaw for size comparison. Edited May 5, 2014 by derrickdj1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Not much difference in cost compared to DYI. The cheapest sub is $750.00 and that's with a 230 watt Dayton plate amp. It's a lot different than DIY. Edited May 6, 2014 by CECAA850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yes, their prices have went up. I like the passive subs because the second sub is relatively cheap once you have and amp that you can add the second sub to have a dual setup. I got all mine on discount under Chase. These are the new Chane Subs since the merger. Getting up in price like other ID subs. That is why I got the VS 18.1' for $500 each. The new one is around $900.

TomV Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 What a stupid chart. The second and third chart list totally different specs for the Svs PB-13 ultra. Whoever made that chart should look a little Closer before they try to bash other companies flagship products. I'd still take Svs any day for their bill of rights and customer service over toms psa company. The charts are correct. We used "sealed" mode when comparing the other product to our sealed Triax(now T-18) subwoofer as that provides the most similar performance signature. You're welcome to shop elsewhere of course, some do consider the Made in USA aspect to our products to be refreshing in this day and age though. Tom V.

Tom gets beat up pretty good over those charts on avs. People calling him out on a lot of his bs claims. Plenty of people stick up for him but the point is still made that its bad PR and some of it is just plain bs. Well, there's about one troll that tries to 'call out" me. The funny part is whenever I ask for specific data that is incorrect I never get any answers. So, again...could you make a list of these "bs claims"? I'd be happy to correct anything on our website that isn't accurate. Thanks. Tom V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 TomV, A sincere welcome to the forum. I hope you did not join the forum just to defend yourself, which by all means you should, but to offer your subwoofer expertise to this great forum. Please stay around a while even after you break bread with your naysayers. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Seeing Tom V. post was a little surprising. Welcome Tom. The old post don't hold much water when we are discussing things and this forum is way different than AVS. You can relax here and have some fun. We could certainly learn somethings from your input.

USNRET Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have dealt with Tom twice. Once to buy the PB12/Plus 2 and once to buy a pair of cherry XV30se. Both times treated well. Comparison between the two would be unfair as the SVS was in a dedicated room and this pair is in a living / dining / entryway / kitchen. I set the PSAs up using Audyssey Pro on a quick cal as my new sides were not in the system and never really heard / felt anything much. This past weekend I happened to notice that one sub amp was not 'lit', found the power cord loose (from my moving speakers), re-attached and turned the gain up one notch on both; big improvement. I need to get one more wire run pulled for the left surround and then do a proper set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
