Go with the sundown. Caution you will need a deep box, if you have the space place in super pro box and let it do whst it do

Definitely the SA-12...I love mine and it is rated very conservatively. It's rate 600rms, but I'm throwing 1200rms at it and it takes it like a champ. I've had experience with all 3 subs and I'd say the sa-12 is the best by far, but it all depends on the box and the amp. You can make the best sub in the world sound like the worst if it's in the wrong enclosure with the wrong power. I hope that helps you.

Definitely the Sundown SA-12. This is coming from someone that owns two at the moment. You will be receiving a quality sub that will be able to handle the power that you choose to throw at it.

Any 12AX7-A will work as well as 12AU7A,12AT7A,7025 and others.(output power will vary by tube number).You will have to decide based on whether you want a bass(low pitch) or more of a treble(Higher pitch) sound to suit your needs.I suggest you do some Google or Yahoo research to familiarize yourself with the variations of these tubes as well as the price difference as some of these like the 7025 and some types of the 12AX7-A can get expensive....

If you've got money to burn, then go all out and get a L1 Model 2 with the biggest sub. The Compact won't cut it. Otherwise, save yourself a ton of cash and just get an SWR Bass amp. They sound incredible and it won't cost you what a Bose will.

The sa12 is 600 rms and this sub is 300-1000 rms. so essentially you can push the alpine more but sundown is elite when it comes to car audio and they can take a beating. If you know what you're doing you can push the sa 12 way past 600 rms. but both are very good subwoofers.

I have tried a dynaco St120 clone (60 watts) and it worked great. I currently use a M125 tube amp with 120 watts and that works perfect. Plenty of power to drive these speakers.

It depends on your room size and other speaker sizes. I have a large open living room with tall ceilings and large component speakers. If you have smaller component speakers or small room go with the pb 1000 you would benefit from the tightness of a 10". Sub. They would both be great, but the svs would probably fit you better based on its specs. The amp for this is a bash where the svs is class d. The power for the smaller size would give you very accurate bass considering it's front firing. I just needed more air moved and that's why I went with the 12" synergy. And it was a heck of a deal.

If you have the extra $200 bucks to spare for the SVS give it a shot, try it out, they have a customer satisfaction trial return window if it doesn't feel right to you return it. I have not heard the SVS pb so I can't compare. I have an SVS tube with amp. It is quality sound but not too room filling. I added this Klipsch 12 HG and wow what a difference. Hands down it has more room filling bass for my movies. You can spend a lot of money for promised quality or you can spend the right amount for the delivered quality your looking for. I started with one SVS sub and over time have gone for two subs (Klipsch 12HG) and that is an awesome set up. FYI- I have two Klipsch subs in my game room also, for the price, it's a great deal. Enjoy!

Hifonics has brz1200 would also be good combo and cheaper. I have two of them pushing to type r 12 inch subs wired down to 1 ohm these amps are insane for the price

Depends on the watts of the subs. Personally, I would go with something current. Do some research and try to get the most outta your subs. They push my cheepo 12s nice.

They sound great for both but definitely get a sub too (I use an SVS SB 2000) . I have a Denon 2100w receiver powering mine and I also use one as a center channel. Oh and its in a 19 X 17 living room with 20 ft ceilings.

I always use 12AWG. I just bought 100' from Ebay that I really like because it is red and black. Get yourself some nice banana plugs too and you'll be hooked up sweet. I got those on Ebay too because the price was much better than anywhere else I looked. The items were all located in the US so shipping was fast. Happy listening! FYI, If you are going to bi-amp your speakers with the TX-NR616 you'll only get a 5.1 surround.

It was for me. I really like my Dayton Sub 1000 for my basement budget system. But there was too big a difference with that and my Polk PSW505 in my main system. The Sub-1200 was a big improvement. My Polk PSW505 still blows the 1200 away, but it closes the gap a bit. It's perfect for my budget system. I feel that you get a lot more subwoofer for $20 more with the 1200. If I were you though, I would get the Polk PSW505 which is on sale for $199 right now. It's a steal at that price. You do live in a studio apartment so it could be too much. With all that being said, I think the Sub-1200 is a great buy. Great sub for this price. Check out my review for more info on the Dayton Sub-1200

I have the Yamaha RX-A830 that I'm running with four of the Infinity Reference R162s. I added the XPA-200 for the front pair - it makes a noticeable difference. There was definitely a lot of tweaking involved, you need to devote time to adjusting the settings to meet your preferences. That said, if you are deciding between a power-amp and a subwoofer, I would suggest getting a subwoofer. I got the XPA-200 then added a sub. The XPA made a big difference, the sub made a larger difference. Between the RX-V663 and the R162s, you have a solid foundation for a good system - if you're comfortable devoting more capital, then I think you'll be happy with the investment in a sub and/or a power amp. As far as power amps go, I found the XPA-200 to be the best value for new products, though I'm intrigued to hear others' thoughts. I am a very happy customer.

I am using a Polk Audio RM-7 "8 inch powered sub woofer. My room is only 12X15 and my wife hates it! She is not a fan of a lot of bass. But when she's not around, and I turn it up, it is more than enough. The Yamaha, it seems to me, has less bass output in its normal configuration than my old Onkyo system, but you can adjust it easier with the Yamaha. I would think any good name Sub would do fine.
