Best Budget Sub?

If music is your priority, you only real choices are REL or ACI. At under $1k, you'll have to find used or demo. Ome up with $1100 for a new ACI. Don't sell yourself short on an inferior sub, it will ruin your musical enjoyment.

tiny, it's obvious that you've never auditioned vmps subs... ;~) and, fwiw, i tried a rel strata, & i'd rather have *no* sub...

so, swong - be careful, & make your *own* decisions, based upon your *own* ears telling you what you like. my advice is to take no advice at all - including this! ;~)

I love the Velodyne SPL 1200. Beautiful sound.

Hsu Research VTF-2. I've heard it. Two of my friends have it. I have the VELODYNE HGS-15 (list $2500 - I paid $1800), and it sounds almost as good; definitely not only 1/5 or even 1/3 as good. If I had bought it first, I probably would be happy.

I've been looking for an affordable, musical, powerful sub for months. The one I'm probably going to order is the new ACI Force. Introductory pricing is around $750 and it reportedly sounds virtually identical to their larger Titan II LE. Just a little bit leass output for a whole lot less bucks. I like the idea of the home trial.
