Defnitive Tech Supercube Trinity or JL Audio F113

Overpriced compared to Internet Direct subwoofers. Many people are buying their subwoofers from ID companies including SVS, HSU, Epik, Ed, Ascend, and others.

These companies usually have offerings that can get the job done for less than the store brands you have mentioned.

The issue for you is likely to come down to how big a box can you live with. For example, the Ed A7-900 is $2,500 delivered, however, it is also quite large at 26 X 50 X 27 inches.

Using a huge ported box, 2 times 18 inch drivers, and a 1300 watt amp, the A7-900 should easily fill a room of your size. Most likely, the box is simply much bigger than you want in your room.

Still, it gives you glimpse into one of the companies people are buying from.

A much more reasonably sized high performance model would be the SVS PB-13 Ultra.

Check the top unit from Epik. http://www.epiksubwoofers.com/porteddynasty.html

While the Conquest has not been taken down from their web site, there is a good chance it will not reappear, at least any time soon.

now this might be a retarded response, but I"ve looked up club/party/DJ speakers too. Just becase they are always so more powerful than home stuff (at least what I've heard, which probably isn't much) Why is that so?

Pro subwoofers aren't designed to go much below 40 Hz, and they tend to use horn (designs). That's why the box is so big.

Just so you understand. There is a trade-off. You can get very high output from a pro design, but you would be sacrificing response below 40 hz. In nightclub setting really deep bass doesn't matter. But output at and above 120 db in the mid-bass is just fine in a night-club setting.

Even with all that a few people use pro subs with a lot of equalization (for the frequencies under 40 Hz). This can be an adequate solution if the size and the ugly build quality of those subwoofers does not bother you. Other people wouldn't be caught dead with a huge box with carpet as the finish.

Here is one that you might think about. No one at the AVS Forum had any interest in this because it doesn't directly compete with in-home subwoofers.

If you want to waste some money give one a try and then start all over.
