Sprogk Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi Guys My buddy bought my RF7II and asked which subwoofer would best fit for around $500. Its mostly for HT & some music. I have a 10" Velodyne which he likes but too expensive. Could you guys recommend something for him? He says he prefers no bigger than 12".

Sprogk Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 He just called me..he is very interested in the 115sw even although more than his budget Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 A 15" sub pushes a LOT more air than a 12". I think a 15 would match up to the RF-7 better than a 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted October 28, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2017 Have him give @MetropolisLakeOutfitters a call. I'm not sure how much the 115SW run but Cory can get you the best price on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I follow you. There are plenty of <$500 subs that are garbage. If he chose say one of those subs, how would that be the "right choice"? Just trying to understand the logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted October 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'm not saying all <$500 are garbage. Just because he found a sub that is <$500 (let's say a Sony sub), doesn't mean it's the right sub. Some subs are better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $450.00 for my $3300.00 open box Revel B15 and I assure you it is the best sounding "under $500.00" sub I have ever heard. I forgot, I paid $500.00 for my new RSW-10d and it sounds even better for music. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 A used SVS SB2000 should do the trick or a ported version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
