Does this sub hit the 30hz range and below? I have a 12 inch looking to replace but I don't want to scrafice any low end.

It does. You will be happy with this thing. Hits as good than my brother's $1500.00 BOSE system

Hi Pat, the specs on the sub claim 32-150 Hz response in LFE mode. But the location in the room and the standing wave produced by thus sub will determine your experience at various locations in the room. The sub comes with a low pass filter (45-150 Hz) and phase controls so you can experiment. Finally when I run the speaker calibration mode of my Onyko, I am not sure what final adjustments are made to the speakers by the amp. Hope this helps. In any event the sub "sounds good".

I don't think so in reality, despite the vague claim of 32 hz without giving impedance or a plus/minus db. Quite disappointed in it compared to my fairly old 12" M&K; and my 8" Velodyne 3500 I use in 2 primary systems. Its very Chinese, like the Epos speakers I matched it with for the garage. Underwhelming best describes it.

Yes Andrew this sub will play down to 30hz with a fair amount of output,it will also play below that frequency, however you should not expect a high db level below that as it has a small driver by subwoofer standards and based on that you should have a reasonable expectation of its limitations based on that... This is a very good sub FOR ITS SIZE... I hope this helps in your decision.. Any more questions don't be afraid to ask.. Happy new yr!

Hi Patrick, I do believe so. It's an amazingly smooth sub and I haven't even broken it in yet. I'm running Klipsch Legend fronts and Klipsch surrounds for 5. 1 and honestly couldn't imagine needing much more than what this sub provides...especially for the price. It blows my 12" JBL out of the water!

I believe it is 4.25 tuned to 37hz, with woofer displacement(depending on driver) it moves the tuning up to about 40hz. Some subs might like 40hz, but most 15"s want a bit lower than that for best performance. Also the port area is pretty small, if you front fire it and care about noise, you'll hear port noise from about 40hz through a little over 50hz.

I have two sa 12's down firing in a box I custom built at 2.19 cu per sub with the ports meeting in the middle facing back. Powered by fosgate 1100a2. Its the loudest system I've heard out of a truck. It flexs my windows

I had it hooked up to a pa speaker with 2 15s and 4 tweeters raited at 250watts and it sounded great and got pretty loud. For your sub I do believe it would work. I did, however, end up sending it back. There were issues with the phono input where the signal wouldn't come through and the mic input dial seemed to have difficulty when increasing the volume. It did not increase gradually but rather reached a point where it seemed to just jump to 100%. Also, on the package I received it said defective, which maybe should have been a warning. So if you do get one check out all of the functions before the return date is up.

Spec sheet in ad says "yes". I don't use a sub. I'd double check and look at the manual online.

I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them. However, I can say a bit about the Sub-12HG. IN MY OPINION this sub is not very "musical". It doesn't play upper frequencies (60Hz+) very well and isn't very accurate (punchy). On the other hand, this sub is excellent for low frequency needs (down to around 25Hz-40Hz). I have found that it produces more quantiful bass rather than tight and accurate bass. Therefore, it CAN be great for movies, some rap/hip-hop -- pretty much anything needing strictly low end boom. I personally would not advise it for just music use. This is based on my personal experience. I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them.

because this is a 12 inch sub.. It will produce the lower frequencies more easily and clearly than an 8 inch at modeate volume.. My unit has performed well..

I love mine, but I am not a Klispch fan at all. I also have a 12 in sub. They compliment each other very well. Happy listener!

It will work but this is not the best Sub for music. I love this Sub but I will say that as for music it is not the best out there but it will shake the place if you want it to (the bumps from the sub are the part where it is not as good as others but more continuous low note this thing rocks them out expecially in the 40 hz range which is where this sub is at its best but it will play way lower).

same here got mine from CL. not a bad sub if you lay it on its side and plug the port (don't care for ported down fireing subs seal it and lay it on its side sna it will sound better!)

I only use the 15's, but I believe the the 12's should handle most events just fine with a sub.

This sub is ok for the money, but it wasn,t good enough for me....it does not hit very hard. I ended up buying a definitive technologies reference supercube. This was a lot more money, 1,500 bucks, but I think it is one of the best subs you can buy.

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

Even though your mains go down to 48 hz, the general consensus of audiophiles is to set your cross over around 125 hz. This allows your mains to focus on the higher hz, making them more efficient (it takes much more power for low hz) and allowing the sub to do what it does best. YMMV

Keep in mind that you can't hear an amp. You should check your decibel output and match it up with the decibel output of your sub! This sub does sound very good and does have excellent response!

Yeah, i have a 500 but only run it at 250 because if i turn it up any higher it drones out all the mid and treble in my pickup. 300 watts it pleanty for this sub, cant go wrong with JL Audio!
