I am currently in the market for a new sub. I have been looking at the SVS and HSU subs almost exclusively. I see today that outlaw has a huge sale on all of their subs and they have peaked my interest. I did a search and it looks like most people say that they are ok. The Outlaw subs were designed by Hsu. I was looking for someone who has a recent model and what they thought if it. Here are the prices they have during the sale. I am looking at the EX mainly.

EX - $552
Plus - $467

Both with free shipping. I think these are some great deals but have not heard much about them.

    Just thought I would bump this up on the weekend to see if there were any opinions. I may have decided to get the plus as it is cheaper. There is a chance that I may be able get 2 of them in the future, where I would not be able to swing 2 ex's. Any opinion on these outlaw subs?

    The SVS subs are nice thats for sure. The pb12 is approx $670 shipped to me where i can get the EX for $550 shipped. So it is about a $120 difference. I just need to make up my mind in the next week as the outlaws are only on sale until the 6th of September.

    I have a plus, and it does everything I ask it to do. I'm sure there's better, but you'll have to spend quite a bit more to get better. A pretty flat signal to 18hz is good enough for me.

    The thing that sold me was Hsu had a lot to do with the design process of Outlaw subs. I think it does better on HT, but it does ok for music too.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Thanks for the info everyone. I am starting to lean a little more towards the plus as it is cheaper and a little smaller. I do not have a very large room at all so it would probably be ok. Now I just need to make a decision before the 6th.
