which subwoofer for my living room


inserted is a picture of my living room/first floor plan. the room has a total 4120 cubic feet. I'm going to use 5 definitive technology 6 1/2 in ceiling speakers to give the surround feel, but need recommendations on what sub to use to give me the deepest, loudest bass. I was thinking the svs ultra 13 or the pb12 dual. any recommendations on what subwoofer i should go with to fullfil my room and desires? thanks much any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: which subwoofer for my living room


That is a fairly big room. I would go with the dual driver PB12 dual. Have you consulted with SVS?

Or perhaps 2 subs, once again, SVS can tell you which of their products would be recommended.

What program did you use to create your sketch? I use room arranger, but there are some things that bug me about it.


Listen to the Real HT Info Podcast at http://realht.info, or on iTunes.

Also, listen right here on The Home Theater Shack. Just use the web applet on the front page.

I'm curious also about the program. I'm doing my Home Theater/2 channel bonus room right now and it would be kinda nice to have something like that.

Re: which subwoofer for my living room


it is my understanding that the PB 13 Ultra has a slightly better output than the PB 12 Dual so it would be better to get the 13 Ultra maybe two if the budget alows. My room is about the same size and I use only one PB 13 ultra and it works well although two would be better


Home theater:
Onkyo TXSR805, Samson Servo 300 amp
Mission 765 Mains, 4-762i's Surrounds, AR center PSC25, SVS PB13 Ultra & A/D/S MS3u sub
2 Audio control C131 EQ's, Toshiba XA2, Panasonic BD60, Pioneer LD
Sanyo Z4 pj, Viewsonic N3235w 32" HDTV

Two Channel system:
Yamaha RXV995, Mission 764i's, Yamaha YST FSW100 sub
Yamaha KX-393 Tape deck, CDC 805 CD changer, Samsung BDP1400, Sony turntable PS-T20, Nintendo Wii
Sony KP-53HS30 HDTV, Motorola HD-PVR
