pinipig523 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 2 daytons will womp 1 rw-10 or ultra sub. the stf-2 is pretty good too.. but it is over your specified price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erukian Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Remember i dont care about sheer volume/loudness. I want something that can dig deep and pound hard basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinipig523 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 i already said that the two daytons would outperform the single rw-10 or ultra sub. if you are really bent on the rw-10 - then get the rw-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Digging deep and pounding hard will be difficult in any case around $300. Double that and you'll do MUCH better with a greater variety to choose from. The previous posted suggestions will give mediocre results, but you really do get what you pay for. A respectable response below 30 Hz you'll be hard pressed to find. ps. For $549 you can pick up a 25-31pci from SVS and leave your sub worries behind. That should extend well down to 20 Hz.

xcjago Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 93 db at 20hz is mediocre? That's higher than the SVS 20-39CS. Pretty damn good for $349. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinipig523 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 that was the oldest cs.. with the oldest driver and the small amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcjago Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Ya, I know. The new SVS are better. Still, this guy's budget is $300. He might be able to squeeze $349. I don't think he wants to spend $549 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doudou Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 if you think the promedia sub should be enought and if you already have one, then make a test to know if it matches the RB. if it does not match then you should buy another sub else there s no need to waste money.

Andy W Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I would get the RW-12 to go with the RB-25. I have an RW-12. I bought it after having the RW-10 in my house for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerv Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 jago out of curiousity on that list you posted it mentions that the HSU sub is the VTF version, I noticed this one is more expensive... Is there a big difference between the two subs? If not how come the VTF costs quite a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcjago Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 The original VTF-2 was $449 and had 150 watts I believe. It had Variable Tuning. You could set it for max extension or max output. The STF-2 is the same as the VTF-2 except it is set to max extension only plus it has 200 watts. The new VTF-2 MK2 has 250watts ($499) and is also available in a glossy black finish for an extra $100. Hope that answers your questions.

pinipig523 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 if u can afford the stf-2, do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerv Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 God I only wish they sold those HSU's here in canada. I would probably pick the STF-2 over the RW-10 as well seing as it would perform better and the quality of bass would probably be very close anyways. My friend must have paid and arm and a leg for his STF-2. I bet its worth it though. Jago what size room do you have it in right now? and whats the usuable limit for the sub? 20Hz or more like 25? either way that thing digs really deep for a single 10inch driver.

pinipig523 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 usable limit is around 22-23 hz. there is some 20hz output, but it is rather lower than the rest (drop off). of course, depending on room response (and corner loading), you may still get decent 20hz response at listening position. however, my overall choice for 10inch sub is the Onix UFW-10... better than the STF-2 in every way.

xcjago Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 My room is about 15x15. I don't have an spl meter, so it's hard to tell what kind of output im getting at 20hz. If I lean against the wall however, I can feel it vibrating. The UFW-10 is a great subwoofer. But it costs $600 and it really doesn't go much lower in freq. than the STF-2. It's rated at 25hz -2db, while he STF-2 is 25hz -3db. It's probably more musical though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerv Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 the UFW-10 is probably quite musical but for the price the STF-2 is simply a "better buy" Paying double for essentially the same performance isn't something I would do. There are plenty of good 10 inch subs out there, some are better than others. And perhaps not everyone is interested in less than 30hz bass, as the majority of the energy in most DVDs LFE channels today revolves around 30hz range for deep bass.

pinipig523 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 i dont know about most revolve around 30hz bass... a lot travels down to 25 or even 20hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcjago Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 LOL, maybe compared to your PB2+. But it beats out pretty much anything else in its price range. Not all of us can afford to spend $1200 on a subwoofer. You sound like theEar, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcjago Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 btw, this is SVS's cheapest sub: http://www.svsubwoofers.com/subs_pci_25-31.htm Take a look at it's specs. 25hz -3db. That's the exact same rating as the HSU STF-2 and yet the SVS costs $200 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
