my basement space: 16' x 13' x 7' open unfinished basement no carpeting not even drywall, straight concrete with some wood framing all around.
currently i've got velodyne cht12
i've got an opportunity to buy a def. tec. pf1800 for $250 and assuming it actually works, that's a pretty nice deal vs. $2k for Rythmik FV18. please don't suggest any alternative brands. i've already done my brand researched, my heart's set on Rythmik. i've been saving up $ for that, but now i'm wondering if i will be satisfied with just a 18" sub even if it's from 1998?
has subwoofer tech. evolved THAT MUCH to where in 25 yrs it's going to give make me some cheese pizza and give me a foot massage or somn? like aren't all speakers pretty much the same even if it's decades old? speaker is a speaker is a speaker is it not? same with subs. has the basic physical principle changed or somn? i get the amp/guts are definitely different the newer products vs. the older ones. but in terms of subwoofer cones... isn't it all the same?
i think the resale value is still pretty good on the def tech pf1800 my goal is to just get it and if i'm happy enough with it... just keep it as my 'forever sub'. will i really get $2k worth of subwoofer by going with newer sub tech vs. older?
