new subwoofer help

[hardcore_gamer99]

Are you looking for an active or passive sub?

Hi active only. Also svs aubs deserve thst much hype? Are they worth 1.5lkh?

 

[hardcore_gamer99]

Well, that is the reason you want to audition before a purchase. Because they are expensive and because a vast majority of non boutique audio dealers do not entertain the idea of returns, after you break open the box. I find it rather ridiculous that after you pay a few lacs, that dealers do no entertain returns. With an AV receiver, you can sort of gamble on the purchase. Not with a loudspeaker.

Are svs worth lakhs? For 11x11 room

All depends on budget. Which budget you are looking for. Fit the best sub in your budget

 

[hardcore_gamer99]

So svs is not overkill for 11x11

Which model svs you are looking for pb1000 pro etc

I have no clue whether to get downfiring or frontfiring? Ported or sealed? Also i have limited space may i can fit only 14 inches only. also i can place only to right corner only just near wall where tv unit is. Now which model you suggest? As said earlier i want deep bass in bollywood 90s movies like mohra gupt dilwale etc

Tonewinner D2000 is worth checking out. It outperforms Svs Pb 1000 pro at a lesser price. Also has XLR and an app

There is no noticeable difference between down firing or front firing. Its more for aesthetics.
Ported - if you want more bass. More suited for home theater applications
Sealed - if you want accurate bass. Tends to work a bit better for music
Corner sub woofer placement is usually a disaster but you can try it out after you get a subwoofer.
A Polk Audio HTS 10 should be plenty big to fill up your room with good bass. What you want to buy or spend is really up to you.

Those Bollywood films have some of the worst sound tracks possible. Don't bother with a sub.

polk audio 10 is enough for room filling bass? svs is overkill then? especially if i have tinnitus too ringing

If you need good pairing with music select sealed sub over ported subs. The more RMS wattage the Sub have it will produce more clean and punchy bass at high volume. Check SVS/REL/FOCAL/KEF for sealed subs. For music 10" should be suffice, but if your room size is big choose 12".

room is only 11x11. what about if i want good bass at lower volumes

Then 10" should be suffice. Choose the above Subs which will work good for lower volumes as well. polk audio 10 is also good but the above subs will be more punchier and bass will be more tight. Prefer polk 10" if you have budget constraint.

Another thumb rule is if your main speakers have >6.5 inch /or more number of 6.5 mid base drivers (2 or more) then choose 12" over 10" for better integration.

For home theater use, choose a ported subwoofer. SVS will not be an overkill. A powerful subwoofer doesn't cause ringing in your ears. (In higher volumes, maybe yes.) If you have tinnitus, you mostly use it in lower volumes, so a powerful subwoofer always performs well in lower volumes. You can choose other subwoofers too other than SVs. Everyone commented on some good brands above.

Ascendo SV12 is around 1 lakh; this is the best you can get around 1 lakh, and performance-wise it is also great. I was considered to purchase this, but I shifted to some other place. A lot of fm's are very happy with ascendo. You can check some other thread here about ascendo.
