montigue Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Fellow Klipsch Klan member's, once again I'm calling for help asking for your xpert advise. Please help me find the right sub for my system within my $500 budget. Ive been looking at down firing subs that have at least a 12" woofer. Today I came across a site that was selling the Quake w/ 2 8" woofers loaded w/ a 100w amp. This sub gets a lot of good reveiws from audioreveiw.com but I havent seen it get mentioned here. Any comments? ( keep in mind I cannot go over $500 what so ever) __________________________ Sony Wega 36" flat screen Sony DTS DVD Sony Hi-Fi VCR Harman Kardon AVR 65 Klipsch KG 5.2's Klipsch KLF C-7 center Klipsch KG 2.2's rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 maybe the paradigm pw-2200 would be in that price range? i got it for 670CAN, so... have you looked at used items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DillonW Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 If you are looking for the most "bang" for the buck under $500, you need look no further than the Velodyne CT150. It has 300W RMS amp, and 15" driver. Yes, it is forward firing, but it quakes my living room. It is built like a tank, weighing in at 83lbs. If your budget cannot be compromised, don't pass this one up. Check out the link: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/hificoncepts/velodynect150.html Hey, and they only charged me $24 for shipping this puppy, with a shipping weight of 93lbs! ------------------ Thanks, Bill Dillon Mains: LaScalas Center: KLF C7 Front Effects: None Yet Rears: Chorus IIs Rear Center: None Yet Sub: Velodyne CT150 Receiver: Yamaha RX-V3000 DVD: Sony 560D TV: Toshiba 61" 61H70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montigue Posted July 16, 2001 Author Share Posted July 16, 2001 Thank's Dillon! The VELODYNE CT150 looks like you get more for your money vs the ACI Quake. Bigger magnets, Bigger box more wattage too. Unless I see something better (which I doubt I will under $500) I'm going with that one. seb: because subs get pounded alot I have to go with a new one, but thanks for the reply.
