Best Big Sub? or duals?


I just moved and my HT is a 25 x 30' room in the basement with concreat floors. My current sub a vandersteen is to musical and just not big enought to have any effects, I also have a 15" velodyne that just about cuts it but doesn't really shake the room and the sweet pot is to narrow, probably because of lack of power my old house this did great in. I am using all vandersteen speakers so they are really fast I need a good fast sub or two that will shake the room. Any sugestions cost is not a big issue just want to do it right and don't want to spend more than I have to.

Unfortunately this site http://www.servodrive.com/ is down. ServoDrive uses belt driven motors to actuate their cones. These are not self powered or crossed over and they require much less power. Ask around, these are the loudest cabinets by a large margin.

Meyer Sound has a nice selection of bins and powered units. There stuff sounds much better than their specs would have you believe.

Bag End ELF systems are typically in sealed enclosures and they also require less power and come in many sizes. Their designs may seem dated but they go lower than most anything out there, they simply work. There were two 18" cabinets, processor, and an amplifier for sale here for $1200.

12K for a sub is a joke. Do your homework. Whatever you select use a Velodyne SMS-1 then let any HT room correction take it from there.
Shadorne, Polar bear! Nice shot, that doesn't look like it was taken at a zoo?

I just got a D300 a few weeks ago, my first DSLR. Currently, it's a little over my head but I'm learning something new on every outing. No AF-S lenses yet just my 85mm 1.4 and a 160-600mm 5.6 I used with my trusty F3.
