Well after having to always keep the volume down on my 2 asw300 subs so they do not bottom out I have come to the conclusion that I need some new subs or just one really good one.I like the earth rattling window shaking experience.I like movies loud and my bass loud and I need a sub that will dip way down and have a high db out put without bottoming out.So what do you guys recommend.I am thinking of buying used off of A......... or maybe a dyi project.I am just so tired of not having the full ht experience and with 2 subs with 8 inch drivers in them... is just not getting it. Any input is appreciated.Thanks.

Room is 13.5 x 14.5 feet (Ceiling is sloped so goes from 8 feet to 12 feet).And budget around 500.00.Comment

Is the room open to other rooms or is it closed off (i.e. with a door)?
You could probably squeeze out a decent DIY project with that budget.DanishComment

Room has a hallway at rear of room(no door) and closed off to kitchen by a door.Comment

I have the PB12-NSD in an 11x15x8 room with an open stairway to the first floor and a 10' hallway off the one side.Originally posted by htsteve
I can really feel it when I need it.
I have considered upgrading to the SB12-Plus due to the smaller cabinet and Rosewood finish to match the B&W's I will be getting. Or if I get really crazy, maybe a JL Audio Fathom sub.Panasonic TC-P65VT30

I have two DIY SDX-15's and a HGS-10, very comparable to dual SVS 13 Ultra's.
As measured here:
I currently have only the one powered up in a temporary 130L sealed box thus far, you can check it on my youtube channel though:
My room is 31x15 and I have usable output to 15hz from a distance of 13ft.
For ~500US you can get a Behringer EP2500 to power it and the driver; the box-making part it up to you though...
I would HIGHLY recommend you buy a BFD too, is well worth every penny spent!Comment

I have two ASW300 subs.Both are Maple Vinyl.All my other speakers are black ash and these look out of place.If I paint them do I void warranty?And if I do paint them what would you use to make them black ash?Anyone done this .Thanks. -
I just bought a second ASW300 sub to add to my system, used, on eBay. It works fine, except - as the subject says - when in "auto" mode, after powering itself down, it makes a strange pulsing sound, with a slight chirp to it. It makes this sound even with no amp or speaker connected, and...03 October 2009, 17:13 Saturday -
I currently have a Rotel RA-972 integrated amp and a RCD-991 CD player…
I need speakers for that little combo to listen some music in dinning/living room (separate HT is in the basement)…
I was thinking at a B&W DM303/ASW300 sub-sat combo for that set up…

I have a Denon 431CI Receiver and Crown XLS 1500 amps. I also have 2 separate 1,0000w subs with plate amps.
I am also currently building 2 12" subs which will be powered by 1 Crown Amp. How do I connect the subs together? do I wire both subs together inside the box and use 1 set of binding...
