I currently own a PSW 505 and i want more bass. I was thinking about buying another 505 and running them both but i was also looking at the PB12-ISD. Should I buy the PB12-ISD and just run it byitself, run the PB12-ISD with my PSW505, or buy the extra 505. Thanks

    PM PolkThug....or perhaps he will relate a direct story about your idea in the thread.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    505's are very strong performers at 28Hz and up. But if you want the lowest lows, you'll need an SVS.

    The SVS with shipping will probably be about $650. If you've got the cash, I would buy it and sell the 505.

    I was looking to get the same sub to replace my PSW505. I like the look of the box subs better than the cylinder subs. To get that low (20Hz), it would be worth the money. My PSW505 will go to a music music system in another room. The upgrade bug is gnawing on my ****!:eek: I also want a new TV. I need to get two more jobs!:D Also need a CSi5.
    I have to decide what is more important to me when I am ready to make these purchases. Right now, it looks like the TV is going to be first.
    Main Set-up: 55" 120 hz Samsung LN55B650, Onkyo TX-SR806, Emotiva XPA-5, Emotiva XPA-2, PS3 Slim, Sony BDP-S560, Apple TV (160g), Panamax M5300-PM, Polk Audio CSi5, RTi10's, FXi3's, RTi4's, and SVS PB12 Plus

    Bedroom: Panasonic 50" S2 Plasma and Panasonic BD65 blu-ray player, Onkyo TX-SR707, Emotiva XPA-3, Emotiva UPA-2, KEF IQ7's, IQc, IQ8Ds, and SVS PB10-ISD
