Re: Winner's choice of Funky Wave Subs!


All three choices look nice I like the box idea better for my setup. Option 1 looks like the one I would go with. I like the box for looks as it can be placed out of sight and matches the A/D/S box sub I already have. For a finish the Gloss black would be my choice.

Onkyo TXSR805, Samson Servo 4120 4 ch amp bridged @240wattsX2
Mission 765 Mains, 4-762i's Surrounds, AR center PSC25, SVS PB13 Ultra & A/D/S MS3u sub

Re: Winner's choice of Funky Wave Subs!


I'd go with #1 in 8ft with exotic lacewood finish. Add big pro-amp and stir...

Another killer giveaway from the HTS and Funky.

Re: Winner's choice of Funky Wave Subs!


I'dhave to agree w/ bonehead, the twin stack would be the best way to go. Although, Im gonna need to know more about these FunkyWaves...

Re: Winner's choice of Funky Wave Subs!


Too many choices!!

(What a fabulous problem to have to deal with... )

When it comes to subs, I guess it's get down, get funky!

I think I might choose the SDX15, lacewood box ('cause it looks, uh, funky), downfiring (to avoid damage from my curious funky pups), in one of the smaller box sizes (because I don't have much room).

I repeat, what a fabulous problem to have to deal with!

Re: Winner's choice of Funky Wave Subs!


I'm thinking I'd go with the dual SDX15 in lacewood (especially if it could be finished with a nice dark reddish stain). But then again, that's a pretty big box, and I might go for the passive radiator model instead, also in lacewood. Tough decision!

e: I think now I'm leaning towards the passive radiator. I'm on a small box kick.

e2: OK OK, if I win, it will be the passive radiator.

Re: Winner's choice of Funky Wave Subs!


I'd go with option #3 since I'm a huge fan of passive radiators. I'm also big on having just one good sub because my room is fairly small and although tempting as option #1 is I just don't have the real estate in my room.

It would be nice to have it with lacewood with a nice cherry finished applied to match my current speakers color. I would want the option to buy the built in ED LT1300 amplifier. I don't know much about plate amps...is the LT1300 good?

Re: Winner's choice of Funky Wave Subs!


I would go with a #1 or #2 as I DO NOT like passive radiators.
Although I might go with #3 because I like 18's. I have never heard a passive radiator with a large driver, which might sound better. To be honest I would love to have any of the options.
