Actually I remember the first email they sent me hyping it something to the extent of "most sub you'll get for under a $1000", gee, I guess PC2 made them change their slogan.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a great sub, with both Outlaw's and HSU's reputation for making great products for the price point, I expect it to perform as stated.

My question is, is it really twenty pounds lighter than its Hsu STF-3 twin?

I think I'd pay the extra $20 and get the exta 4 years of warantee that Hsu gives.

Hsu lists shipping weight, Outlaw lists unit weight.

I had an STF-2 which had a listed shipping weight of 52 lbs. I ended up returning it and in the same packaging it weighed 47 lbs. when shipped back. Not sure where the 5 lbs. went...

For some reason, this statement really bothers me. I have never heard of down-firing ports having any advantage over side-firing or top-firing ports with regards to port noise.

Overall, I am unimpressed. A comparable, yet proven, SVS subwoofer can be had for just a bit more.

with the new HK receiver my folks are looking into, a new sub would definitely be cool. I found some info in Outlaws on-line forum here ubb.outlawaudio.com/cgi-local/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=LFM-1&number=20&DaysPrune=1000&LastLogin=

I don't think that they are making the claim that because it is down firing it has no port noise. I think they are saying the downfiring DESIGN as a whole does.

Outlaw has made some very impressive products and has made a great name for themselves in a relatively short time. I would be more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt that this will be a good product.

They have definetely proven themselves thus far, give 'em a break.

I think the key word hear is "audible". Port noise is real. Aiming the port at the ground should reduce the "audible" port noise. Seems a legitimate statement...Of course, I ordered one for my folks today. I'll let you know what I think when it arrives.

Peace-

Forget that, my homebuilt $400 downfiring passive sub will beat that easily *flex* :)

Mine weights 76 lbs - unit weight not shipping weight HAHA. Even that made the sub hop at extreme volumns on some bass intensive scenes in lotr part2. *grin*

So i had to fabricate a bottom plate and attach to the legs :D
