Best subwoofer for music under $1,000


I have had several brands including Velodyne, Emotiva,Klipsch,
And by far the most musical ,is he sealed 12 inch sub from SVS
They use a 400 watt Bash amp with peaks up to 800 watts.
The driver is a heavy duty 12 inch Aluminum driver from Peerless.
For $649 , it is excellent for music very tight and tunefull Bass,also very good for movies it digs down deep very respectable
This sub will go down to 23 hz , if you want more boom then get a ported design .this sub is very respectable in anything you through at it
And they have great customer service,as well as a 5 year transferable
Warranty. P.s if you buy 2 subs you save one decent moneys,
And you can trade up to a more expensive model within one year,
And they have at least a 30 day trial period where you can send it back .

I've owned the Velodyne Optimum Sub and thought it was very musical. The room eq was very nice.
I also just ordered a Gallo TR-3 sealed unit that goes down to 22hz. I've heard great thing about the Gallo, very musical and fast. I'll stay posted on the Gallo once I have a hundred hours or so on it.
Good thread. John
So far you've found the "best" in 6 categories. Apparently you're very lucky, or........

With so many possibilities out there, and you've found the best so easily. What are the chances........
Ive heard great things about HSU Research.

I recieved my Gallo TR-3 sub the other day.
It is the best sounding sub I have ever heard.
Very fast with plenty of drive.
Blends very well with my Focal Profile 918's.
It's a keeper for sure.
Check out the SVS sealed 12 for $650. It is exceptional very good articulation punch and detail buy 2 and it just makes the whole room
Part of the event and balances out any room nodes .if you buy 2 they even lower the ost $1100 for the pair allways free shipping and 5 year
Transferable warranty, and 30 day money back and hav won many awards.
I also recommend the HSU Reasearch. I just accepted delivery of my 1000 watt ULS15, my second sealed 15" sub for my room. The ULS15 is a little more than your 1K budget, but, well worth it. The ULS is augmenting a B&W ASW850 15" sealed sub. This is the first time I am using two subs in a stereo setup; it is awesome.
