I would like to get a 12" sub within the $250 range, but I am limited by the size of the cabinet it must fit into; although, I will take it out of the cabinet when in use. The cabinet is 18" deep and 14.5" wide. Room is tiled flooring and is ~15 X 15 with a peaked ceiling of about 12'; and is open on one end. I am not an audiophile (but of course like to listen to all types of music), will be watching mostly HDTV and movies (want reasonable LF effects, but probably won't be blasting the sub to its upper limits). Because of this strict size limitation and budget, there are only a few subs that appear to fit my requirements, and I would very much appreciate your help in my selection of a new sub. So far, here are some subs that I found that will fit into my cabinet. My audio system is Yamaha RXV800, 10 year old Paradigm Cinema rears, Paradigm Monitor fronts and Paradign center channel. The selected subs range from 8" to 12" (down and front firing, doesn't make any difference to me). All have at least 100 watt RMS. My problem is figuring out which one will be most reliable and get me closest to reasonable (don't have to be awesome) LF effects considering my room and audio system. JBL P10SW (10") JBL ES150 (10") HSU STF-1 (8" sub, over budget at $299) Lava LSP-10 (10") Lava LSP-12 (over budget at $338) Klipsch KSW-10 (over budget at ($288) Velodyne VX-11 (10")
