wheelman Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 What is the best sub for around 300$. Musically and deep. If you had to go used too. Those hsu vtf=2 go pretty cheep used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 We don't know what your main speakers are nor the size of the room If you were to look at it from a different view point, you could get a used VTF-2 and use it a couple of years without a large depreciation, and upgrade if it isn't enough for you. BTW, I've seen some Paradigm PW2200 sell used around here between 300$ and 400$... which may be a good alternative. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juba310 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 What about one of those newer Polk subs? like the PSW404 or something. I've heard good things about those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 The new polks won't work. I love em the sound and everthing, but for some reason polk subs blow in my home. I had three to four of them just quit working. No other sub has done this. I had two of the new ten incher. With the bigger rubber surrounds and bigger amp. Believe it or not the model before that was better. It was tighter less flubby not that the new is real flubby, but the older one just sounded better musically. My room works well with 10's or 12 inchers. I may have to look into paradigm. They are good for music? My room is 22 by 12 sounds alot bigger than it is, but I sit real close to the sub and my system is on the long wall a bit right of the room. Thanks for any and all help. Also it is my living room so something stylish is a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand though, after so many negative experiences with a company, one does tend to lose faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out FabulousFrankie's Tom Nousaine sub test list for some performance figures. The PW2200 nudges the CHT15 out and I just saw two of them in the paper, one for 300$US and the other for just a little less. Later... Rob PS: i edited my post... sorry...
