Subwoofer Suggestion


Hi guys I need your suggestion regarding subwoofers. My system is composed of Focal Kanta 3, Kanta center, 706BK it would be used 50/50 for music and HT. My room size would be 13m by 4m by 3(Length,width,height). Would it be better to go for dual pb1000/sb1000 or single sb3000 or single pb2000 or single PSA S1500?

The svs pb2000 pro cost 1387usd here and the pb pro2000 cost1285usd here, it is almost double here 🤦🏻‍♂️

If I were in your shoes, though not ideal, I’d seriously consider the Swarm.
Alright thank you very much, I’ll see if I can push the budget a bit further.
Also, you may consider the used market to save $ and/or upgrade.
I’ve actually tried looking for used subs in my place there’s not much so I think I’ll have to go brand new. Thank you for your help.

My room is 4m long by 14m wide with 3m ceilings. Well if the bass would really take a hit I could return the devialet200 in exchange for the ps audio m700. That would free up a lot of budget for the subs.

Yeah I'm thinking of the Sb3000 the only problem I see there is that it wont have enough output for the room. Also there's no 45 day audition here in Philippines. If ever I'm gonna go the single sub though it would be either that or the PSA V1500.
I've asked for the price of rel t9i and it costs 1900usd it's out of my budget. 
If you go down that road, DM me and I'll tell you about it

Baylinor I'm dying to try a rythmik sub but sadly there are no dealers here in my country.
oldhvymec I just made a shortcut for my first and last name😂. I'm not familiar with the brand PE, also customs tax here is terrifying, if it wasn't I would have ordered in the US where everything is so cheap HAHAHAHAH
Edicionretro I don't think an 8 inch woofer would be enough for the size of my room.
What about HSU subwoofers?
I can't risk buying in other countries even though it's cheaper there because there are occasions where the customs would charge as much as 30% of the srp.
I've checked the Debra array sadly it's again out of my budget. Now I'm starting to think that I spent too much on amplifier and speaker😂
Ow I get it now, lol my dad would never let me do those though asian parents HAHAHAHAH
I'll give this a try thank you.
As stated above, consider rolling off the mains.

king baracyda I'm located in Philippines, everything here is so expensive compared to US.
Well I'm not really looking for a diy sub, but if all else fails I'll give it a try thank you.
@kennyc   
What are you trying to achieve?

My 1st priority is to seamlessly integrate a subwoofer into the system that would be able to dig deep while pressuring the room a bit. The 2nd priority is the HT. Idk if this is feasible due to my budget 😂
Thanks for your suggestion corelli, sadly, there aren't any RSL dealers here in Philippines. Svs, rel, and PSA are the only ones available to me. Also, my maximum budget that I am allowed to spend is around 77k php which is around 1500usd. Also svs subs are like almost double the srp here compared to the US, so I can't really go 4 subs unless I go for klipsch.
Thanks for your opinion guys, the dealer recommended the Focal sub 1000 F although I haven't heard it, I'm pretty sure that it won't be
enough for my room and I think I can do better with PSA or svs subs for that amoutn of money.
Elliot sadly it doesn't reach deep enough
compared to the Revel studio2 that I auditioned. I've just recently made the purchase, this is my first hi fi system. To be honest, I'm still trying to decipher your response since I am relatively new to speakers. By the way upgrading later on isn't an option since my dad just wants a one and done system.
I just fear that maybe the sb1000 wouldn't go deep enough, and for the pb1000 not to go tight enough. 
Two of the sealed SVS-SB 1000 should do the trick!  

Testing it wouldn't be possible. So since dual sb or pb1000 is underpowered would it be better if I go for a 15inch PSA S1500?
Can you return them?

@audioman58 
Im in Philippines, if I order from the United States I'd have to deal with the customs here. Also, are you saying that a single Sb3000 is better than dual sb1000 or pb1000?
