| Re: Ported vs. Sealed
Thank you Mike and Mojo for the feedback.
and that is my actual sub, it's an older Yamaha yst-sw150 the 2 front facing woofers measure 8" across, from side to side of basket, so I guess that makes the woofers actually 7.5" and the 4" port is also located on the front. so let me mention the subs that I'm thinking of and you guys tell me what you think.
1. Emotiva DRS-1 (this is a dual subwoofer set up each with 2 12" woofers and a shared 600 watt amp, these are sealed and are due out in January) $999
2. Outlaw audio LFM-1 (again this would be a dual sub setup each with 1 12" ported, down
firing woofer and 350 rms with 1300 peak rms $1098
3. SVS PB12-Plus/2 down firing 12" woofer w/ 4 ports 900 watt amp w/EQ $1099
I'm not sure about the down firing vs. the front firing. (I want to feel the bass in my face and shaking the windows) also the Emotiva won't be out till January
so I have to wait for that review. The choice of the Outlaw and SVS is based on many reviews that I've read. right now my room is only 14'x15'x8 which is 1680cu. ft, but this is not permanent I do plan on a much larger room somewhere around 17'x20'x8' which is 2720 cu. ft (give or take a foot). so if I go the dual sub route, I could put one away for now. The SVS would only be a single sub at that price.
so many subs, so many options, too small a bank account.
