Re: Best Sub under $700 for big room?


Welcome to the Forum, Mark!

The SB12-Plus will work well in your room, which I calculate to be about 3800 cu. ft total. I used one briefly a few months ago, and I was very impressed with its performance, and my living room (including other open areas) is over 9000 cu. ft.

That said, it looks like the 20-39 will get your more “bang for the buck” – lower extension and SPL, at a lower price. So if you don’t mind the extra size, that’s probably the way to go. The SB12 is basically for folks who need a really tiny sub, and if works great for its size. However, if you can spare the space, a bigger sub will most always perform better.

Regards,
Wayne
