My current specs:
AVR: Denon 1712
Front: Pioneer SP-BS41-LR
Center: Pioneer SP-C21
Rear: Pioneer SP-BS21-LR
Requirements:
$300 +/-
75% use for HT, 15% music, 10% games.
Listening room is 10' x 10'.
Maximum Height (excluding support legs, etc) needs to be 18"
-OR-
Maximum Depth needs to be 16"
---------------------------------------
I was going to get the rw-12d but recently discovered about port chuffing.
AFAIK port chuffing is too much air going in and out quickly if the sub is pushed to the limits and will shake and rattle the plastic part on the 12d. Is this problem common in 12ds? how easily susceptible is it to port chuffing compared to the alternatives listed below?
I'm also wondering how does it work airflow dynamic-wise since I want to know if the rw-12d produce port chuffing if i place the box on its sides, which I would have to do to make it fit under my bed. (btw, due to limited size constraints and traffic obstruction i can't put it against the front wall.)
This scared me so I began to look at other alternatives.
which leads us to my main question posted in the subject line of the thread: which sub is better? Klipsh RW-12d or polk PSW-505?
klipsch rw-12d is occasionaly on sale for $300
Polk PSW-505 is currently on sale for $200
