Igor Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hi, I'm looking for a sub to compliment my Forte II and Heresy II set of speakers. I have an opportunity to get SW15 for $300. The issue is that I cannot leasten to it with my speakers... I couldn't find specs for SW15, but found for SW15 II: Amplifier: 200 watts continuous into 4 ohms Frequency response: 27-120+-3dB Max output: 110 dB Weight: 82 lbs Lets assume, SW15 has the same parameters. Based on pure specs, it looks like R-110SW is better sub and new one is $440 now. So I'm not sure that 30 years old SW15 worth $300... What do you guys think?

CECAA850 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I think that a 30 year old subwoofer amp is on its last legs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Get a new sub! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 If $300 is your budget, you can get a much newer sub that will likely outlast the SW125 and easily out perform it for the same price, on the used market.

Igor Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks guys. That makes total sense! Btw, I always wanted to make a diy sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACV92 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So, in reference to what CECCAA850 said, I'll sell you my SW-10, with a passive 12 for $50. Cab is abused and the amp picks up FM radio stations. Quite a feat for a sub. Yeah, do as other's have said, get a new sub. You'll be much happier.
