My friend is going to be purchasing an SVS sub for sure.. He wants to know how 1 PB12-Ultra-2 would compare to 2 PB12-Ultras. His room is 18X30 and hes is kind of a bass junky. I have not heard either one of these so can give no input..

I would get 2 Ultras or the Ultra/2 but I haven't heard either one. I was researching this same purchase becaus I have always liked 2 subs over 1... I ended up going the DIY route with 2 15"s.AJPoe - - Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional! -
I really enjoyed reading your posts about your subs. Excellent job. I dont mind going the DIY route but my friend is kind of sceptical and would rather go with a good company.Samsung UN60C6300 | Primare SP32 | Primare A30.7 | Oppo BDP-103 | PS Audio Quintet | AppleTV | ELAC 247 Black Edition | ELAC CC 241 Black Edition | B&W DM 600 S3 | SVS PC 13 Ultra | Straight Wire Virtuoso | Harmonic Technology Pro 9's | Black Sands Power CordsComment

Well, placed next to each othr the two PB12-Ultras will sound near as damit identical to the single PB12-Ultra-2 - they would just cost more... The situation where you would get an advantage is if you were getting room effects causing bass cabcellation. Sometimes being able to place the two subs at different parts of the room will help get a more even spread of bass (mind you other times the two will cancel each other out and make the problem worse!!!)...
Both will make him very happy - they are amaizing subs...
My money would be on the single PB12-Ultra-2 as as $2,199 in wood finish it is cheaper than two PB12-Ultra's at $1,299 each ($2,598 ). You can get it for $1,999 in balck - an even bigger bargain...
For more information get your friend to Email techsupport@svsubwoofers.com you will find either one of the owners or the lead designer will answer him truthfully and fairly - they don't try and oversell their subs - often recommending a smaller model if the room size / volume doesn't require a big one...

SteveNN (a frequent poster at several forums) has already done the comparison and went with 2 pb12 ultras over the single box. With the 2 ultras he was getting MORE output. This seems logical because you go from 4 ports to 6. The negative of course is they take up more floor space.Comment

Hi,
My system consists of B&W 800Ds L&R, HTM1D, 803Ds surrounds and in the future, possibly a pair of 802Ds or another pair of 803Ds for 7.1 sound.
Yet, all this time I have been using an PWS 3500 KEF subwoofer from my previous system but it is not that capable... -
Thanks to the wealth of information on this forum, I have been introduced to the benefits of using pro sound reinforcement amps (as opposed to plate amps) to drive DIY subwoofers. This solution would seem to demand a certain level of flexibility in the receiver/processor's bass management system that... -
Hi I'm hoping someone can answer my question. I recently purchased a set of Vandersteen 5's that have powered subs. Right now I have a Rotel RSX-1550. I'm using the preouts to route the mains to a Mccormack DNA 225 to power the Vandersteens. My rears and center are connected to the Rotel. I would like... -
It has taken some real effort but I’ve concluded that two Sunfire subs can be integrated into a high end system better than one. My vinyl buddy on the other hand has concluded that it is not possible. So, here we have two opinions and both are valid and true.
The Sunfire sub offers... -
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...
