    No problem slowcar, I'm just saying that you'd need a decent sized ROOM for something like that--room dynamics might preclude something of that size. You wouldn't install it in a typical living room for example. A 12 X 20 X 8' room or smaller.

    I'm sure it sounds great in the right space.

    I'm sure there are better subs out there, somewhere, but the nicest one I've heard personally is the DD1812 by Velodyne. That thing is just super crazy.

    his ht setup is the most dynamic/effortless system i've heard!

    But the guy is crazy (in a good way)! :D

    Sleep depriving seems to make him needing more subs to wake himself up!

    I do have to say though the sub's SlowcarIX has might be the winner for now!:D
